Overview
A monochrome take on the Overseas
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Self-Winding, reference 4600V/200R-B979, in 18K pink gold with a sunburst-finished blue lacquered dial, on the pink gold bracelet with its triple folding clasp. Self-winding calibre 1088/1 with date and central seconds; 34.5 mm, 9.33 mm high, with dark blue calfskin leather and rubber straps included.
This execution is the same Overseas Self-Winding case and calibre 1088/1 movement as the base pink gold reference, with a sunburst-finished blue lacquered dial rather than golden. The hour-markers and hands are plain 18K gold, and the openworked case back's rotor is described on this page simply as 22K gold, without the 3N tone the base record states. The bracelet and its triple folding clasp stay 18K pink gold, and the two extra straps supplied are dark blue grained calfskin leather and dark blue rubber, worn with a spare pink gold Ardillon buckle.
The reference 4600V/200R is Vacheron Constantin's Overseas Self-Winding, built on the same calibre and dimensions in two case metals: 18K pink gold with a golden-lacquered dial, and stainless steel with a deep red-lacquered dial -- the brand frames each as a monochrome treatment, matching case and dial in one tone. The dial carries a sunburst-finished centre and a velvet-textured outer minute track, with a date window at 3 o'clock. The case is 34.5 mm across and 9.33 mm high, water-resistant to 150 m, with a transparent sapphire case back and the case back marked antimagnetic.
Turning the watch over, the sapphire case back shows the winding rotor: a 22K 3N yellow gold oscillating weight cut with a wind-rose pattern, which the brand ties to a spirit of exploration running through the Overseas line. The movement is the self-winding calibre 1088/1 -- 20.8 mm across, 3.83 mm high, 144 parts, 24 jewels -- with hours, minutes, central seconds, a date and a balance-stop function, wound for a stated 40 hours and running at 28,800 V.P.H. (4 Hz). Both executions come on a bracelet in their own case metal with a matching triple folding clasp, and each is supplied with two further straps in leather and rubber, closed with a spare buckle or clasp in the case metal, as each record's own Additional Accessories row lists them.
For collectors
The steel execution of this reference shares its case size, case thickness and calibre 1088/1 movement -- the two differ only in metal, dial colour and the strap options supplied with each, worth knowing for anyone comparing across the family's self-winding models.
