Hello everyone!
This time, I would like to talk about the currently very popular Vacheron Constantin Overseas .
As for the content, as the title says, I discovered that the color of the blue dial is different! I would like to talk about that and also introduce the current market price.
If you read this article, you will be able to understand the current Overseas, so please read to the end.
Current "Overseas"
Vacheron Constantin is one of the three great watches in the world. Its masterpiece, the Overseas, was born in 1996 based on the Ref. 222, which was made in 1977 to commemorate the 222nd anniversary of the company's founding.
The bezel design is based on the brand's logo, the Maltese cross, and it is renowned as a masterpiece of luxury sports watches.
The current model we are introducing this time was announced in 2016 as the "Ref. 4500V" series, and its notable feature is that it has an interchangeable function that allows you to easily change the belt. It comes with an alligator belt and a rubber strap, which you can change to suit your mood or the occasion, and its versatility has made it very popular. The current "Overseas", which has appeared as the third generation, can be said to be the model with the best design, functionality, and versatility of all the previous models.
Current Market Rate
Recently, the market price in the watch industry has been rising rapidly, which has become a hot topic. Just the other day, I spoke about the market price of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual (Turquoise) and the current Daytona on COMMIT TV, where I am the main MC.

Of course, the first watch to attract attention in these situations is Rolex, but the Vacheron Constantin Overseas we are introducing this time has been said to be the third most popular watch after the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak since last year, and its current market price is skyrocketing. You can feel the attention it is receiving.
How much has it actually increased in the past year?
Blue dial: Approx. 3.2 million to approx. 6 million
Black dial: Approx. 2.6 million to approx. 4.6 million
Silver dial: Approximately 2.9 million to approximately 4 million
Actual price in January 2021 (unused item) ⇒ Actual price in January 2022 (unused item, most recent guarantee)

You may be numb to Rolex, but I think the price rise of this Overseas is also remarkable. Of course, the price varies depending on the dial, but the blue dial is about 6 million yen , which shows how popular it is.
However, considering the current state of luxury sports models of the world's three biggest watches, Patek Philippe's Nautilus and Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak, this is a reasonable estimate. It may not be an exaggeration to say that there is still potential for further growth.
The color of the blue dial is different!?
Now that you have a better understanding of the Overseas, let's talk about the main blue dial color .
With Rolex and other watches, there are often subtle differences between individual pieces, which are often the subject of discussion, but I never imagined that something like this could happen with the Overseas... When I discovered this, I was surprised and somehow happy. (laughs) And when it comes to the most popular blue dial, there was no choice but to dig deeper...
I'm sure there are many of you who are saying, "Just show it to me!!!" so here it is, right away.
There you have it!!
Another photo from a different angle!
What do you think!?
When you line them up, it's obvious. You can see that the blue shines in completely different ways. The left side is a calm blue, while the right side is a vivid blue.
Let's take a closer look!
*Left: Calm blue
*Right: Vivid blue
It's completely different.
So when did this difference actually start? I'm sure you're wondering. At this point, we don't know for sure, but based on the ones we've handled so far, we can guess that it started.
Calm blue dial: Manufactured between 2016 and 2019
Vivid blue dial: Manufactured from 2019 to 2022
Perhaps this is the view.
Of course, this is not all, so if you have any other information, please feel free to contact us. Also, if you own an Overseas, please check which color your model has!
summary
What did you think.
This time I explained the difference in the color of the blue dial, but to be honest, both are cool and have their own merits, and I think they are both the best!! (laughs)
Once you start digging into these things, you can't stop, and it tickles the masculine instinct to the point that you start to wonder if each manufacturer is doing it on purpose. (laughs) However, I think that being able to enjoy these differences while being excited about them is also a wonderful part of luxury watches.
I hope that after reading this article, you will become interested in luxury watches and even develop a love for them.
see you!
