Vacheron Constantin Overseas Self-Winding 34.5mm Returns in Burgundy and Rose Gold
Vacheron Constantin Expands the Overseas Collection with Compact 34.5mm References
Vacheron Constantin has unveiled two new iterations of its compact Overseas Self-Winding 34.5mm, adding a striking burgundy-dialed steel model and a refined rose gold variant to the iconic luxury sports watch family. According to Monochrome Watches, the new references launched on July 7, 2026, target collectors seeking a more compact yet versatile Overseas experience.
Design and Case Architecture
The Overseas 34.5mm models retain the collection's signature tonneau-shaped case with a six-sided Maltese Cross-inspired bezel. At just 9.3mm thick and water-resistant to 150 metres, the case delivers a remarkably slim profile. The stainless steel version pairs its deep-red lacquered dial with a steel ring separating the sunburst centre from the outer minutes track, lending a sportier character. The rose gold model opts for a monochromatic approach with a golden lacquer dial featuring a sunburst base and velvety-finished peripheral minutes track.
Both models feature hand-applied 18k gold hour markers and hands treated with blue-emission Super-LumiNova, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions.
