This year Vacheron Constantin decided to do a first in the Overseas collection and added an 18K pink gold case sunburst green dial Overseas Dual Time to the lineup. This hands-on review will tell you everything you need to know about this new watch after enjoying the watch outside of the watch show and in natural light. Without a doubt, this is the hottest watch release of 2024, and its refined look is unparalleled.
Because it combines a green dial and red accents on the AM/PM indicator and the dual time pointer hand, anyone could think that this watch was released as a special edition for Mexico with the colors of the Mexican flag. The watch is equipped with a 41 mm case in 18K 5N Pink Gold with a soft iron casing ring ensuring anti-magnetic protection making this combination pure fire.
The watch is water resistant to 150 meters thanks to its screw-down crown and quarter-turn screw lock pusher for date correction and is delivered on an 18K 5N pink gold bracelet with half Maltese cross-shaped polished and satin-brushed links, secured by an 18K 5N pink gold triple-blade folding clasp with push-pieces and comfort-adjustment system. After putting the watch on our scale, the total weight of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time Sunburst Green Dial on the bracelet is 216 grams —not ultra heavy but quite heavy considering its solid gold construction.
Things to Know About the Watch
Our favorite thing we love about the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time Sunburst Green is its interchangeable strap system that allows wearers to easily change the look of their timepiece to suit various occasions and styles.
This system offers a range of high-quality straps in rubber and calf, providing versatility for Vacheron Constantin watch owners. The interchangeable quick-change mechanism makes it simple to swap out straps without the need for tools, enhancing the overall user experience. Not only does this system cater to the aesthetic preferences of collectors, but it also ensures a comfortable fit for different wrist sizes. Changing the bracelet to straps —and the other way around— is as easy as a 15-second process.
The watch is supplied with additional straps in green calfskin leather with grey stitches and in green rubber along with an 18K 5N pink gold buckle with an interchangeable system, compatible with both additional straps. While all three looks are incredible, we absolutely love it on the bracelet and the rubber strap.
The dial with its new sunburst green color is applied with a translucent lacquered backdrop playing on depth effects. While the center of the dial is graced with sunburst satin-brushing, the flange and subdials are delicately velvet-finished. The red accents on the AM/PM hand and the 24-hour hand provide perfect contrast against the green background. The legibility is ensured by the contrast between the gold hour markers and hands highlighted with SuperLumiNova which glows blue and very bright in low light conditions.
The Movement
Turning the watch over reveals the 234-part automatic movement calibre 5110DT fully developed and manufactured by Vacheron Constantin and equipped with a 22K gold Overseas oscillating weight. This movement provides a power reserve of 60 hours. As it is the norm, the movement is exquisitely finished by Vacheron Constantin.
On the Wrist & Price
On the wrist, the new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time Sunburst Green Dial ref. 7920V/210R-B965 wears simply amazing. Between the color combination with its warm tones, the reminiscence of the Mexican flag, and the unparalleled wrist presence with its solid gold case construction this watch is a must-have and our favorite release this year 2024.
