Matching an opaque black lacquer dial to a 41mm steel case and black rubber strap, reference 4520V delivers Vacheron Constantin’s Holy Trinity finishing in a monochrome sports build. Rivaling the Royal Oak and Nautilus yet more discreet than either, it suits the collector who wants that pedigree in one go-anywhere watch without a second piece in the box. 

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Opaque black lacquer fills the dial, pairing a satin-finished inner dial with a velvet-finished outer minute track, its 18K gold markers and hands glowing blue in low light on every hour but 3, where the date sits. Polished and satin-finished surfaces alternate across the 41mm steel case, contrasting gloss against matte. Behind the sapphire caseback sits a 22K gold oscillating weight shaped as a wind rose, a travel motif certified with the Hallmark of Geneva.

Functions include hours, minutes, central seconds, and date by aperture. Screw-down crown offers three distinct functions once unscrewed: the first hand-winds the movement, the second quick-sets the date, and the third sets the time.  Rated to 150 meters, it handles everyday splashes and immersion, while a 60-hour power reserve carries it through a weekend off the wrist. Tool-free quick-change swaps the rubber strap in seconds, with the bracelet clasp offering micro-adjustment to fine-tune the fit. 

Comes as a full set, double-boxed, with international warranty card, instruction booklet, travel case, plus Vacheron Constantin’s full factory strap system: a polished and satin-finished steel bracelet with a triple-folding clasp, a black grained calfskin leather strap, and a black rubber strap currently fitted.

Few luxury sports watches earn a one-watch-collection reputation like the Overseas, combining three tool-free straps, integrated case-and-bracelet styling, and a dial with dual-textured surface. Make it yours and wear genuine haute horlogerie every day, hand-finished beyond most steel sports watches, earning its place as the piece worn most.
