Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Today, we’re sharing the new product from ZF Factory: the ZF Vacheron Constantin Overseas Series 4500V/110A. A total of four color schemes have been released, including blue dial, silver-white dial, black dial, and coffee dial. Let’s take a brief look first. We will follow up with a detailed review of the ZF Factory Overseas 4500V watch once we get the physical samples and take photos.
As one of the three “steel kings” in the top watchmaking industry, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas is also highly sought-after in the replica market, with many small factories producing versions of it. Among major factories, only the 8F Factory currently manufactures the 4500V model, offering both two-hand and three-hand versions. However, 8F’s craftsmanship is generally considered second-tier, significantly inferior to that of the ZF Factory. After all, the price difference between the two is nearly 1,000 RMB.
The simple crystal dial processed with sunburst satin brushed finish has a velvety smooth edge. Through the dial, you can see the reflection of the hands on the dial, just like a clear lake, which is very beautiful. The 18K gold hour markers, hour hand, and minute hand all have a white luminous coating. People with myopia can also read the time in a relatively dark environment, ensuring the best readability.
The 41mm stainless steel case has a thickness of 11mm. Equipped with an anti-magnetic soft iron device and a screw-down crown, it can protect the watch from magnetic interference and escort the accuracy of timekeeping. The polished stainless steel case has smooth lines and beautiful shape, and can be perfectly connected with the bracelet/watch strap, adding points to the ornamental value of the watch.
Adopting a see-through back process design, you can directly observe the operation of the movement. Equipped with the 5100 automatic winding mechanical movement independently developed and manufactured by ZF and benchmarked against Vacheron Constantin. It contains 172 parts, has 37 jewels, a vibration frequency of 28,800 times/hour (4 Hz), and is equipped with a 22K gold oscillating weight (decorated with a wind rose compass pattern).
The most noteworthy point is the use of a quick-release strap design. The metal strap has a sporty and tough shape and can also perfectly attend formal occasions.
