Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas Tourbillon Goes Deep Red

There’s a particular confidence to a watch that doesn’t need to shout about its complications. The new Overseas Tourbillon “Deep Red” from Vacheron Constantin fits squarely into that camp—technically serious, visually assured, and quietly one of the most compelling sports-luxury watches you can wear with tailoring, knitwear, or a T-shirt.

This is the first time the Overseas Tourbillon pairs a titanium case with a deep red dial, and it changes the character of the watch entirely. Titanium has been part of the Overseas story for some time, but here it feels fully resolved: light on the wrist, sharp in profile, and undeniably modern. At just 10.39mm thick, it sits low and easy, slipping under a cuff without fuss—exactly what a contemporary men’s watch should do.

The deep red dial is the point of tension. It’s not loud, but it isn’t safe either. Against the cool grey of the grade 5 titanium case and bracelet, the colour adds warmth and edge, leaning more menswear-forward than traditional haute horlogerie. Think sharp tailoring in unexpected tones rather than classic navy. It’s a watch that works as well with relaxed summer suiting as it does with technical outerwear.

Versatility is baked in. The integrated titanium bracelet feels suitably purposeful, but the tool-free strap system allows an easy shift to deep red or white rubber. Three looks, one watch—useful if your wardrobe moves between city, travel, and downtime.

Inside, the ultra-thin calibre 2160 does the heavy lifting. The peripheral rotor keeps the movement slim while delivering an 80-hour power reserve, and the tourbillon remains visible without tipping into excess. The finishing, certified by the Hallmark of Geneva, is meticulous but restrained—something you notice up close, not from across the room.
