Description
ZF Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V Black Dial
A technically proficient replication defined by its accurate 11.5mm profile and functional quick-release bracelet architecture.
Powered by Clone Caliber 5100
The mechanical core of this timepiece is a highly modified Miyota 9015, structurally adapted to replicate the visual footprint of the Vacheron Constantin Caliber 5100. ZF has engineered custom decorative bridges and base plates containing faux jewels and precise engravings to mimic the genuine architecture. The movement features the signature 22K gold-plated wind rose compass rotor, operating at a reliable 28,800 vibrations per hour to ensure a sweeping seconds hand consistent with Swiss standards.
Regulated to approximately ±10–15 seconds per day. The Miyota 9015 base provides excellent long-term stability and straightforward serviceability for independent watchmakers.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- ✅ Complications: Hours, minutes, center seconds, and date aperture at 3 o’clock
- ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional (clockwise winding rotor)
Technical Specifications
Measuring exactly 41mm in diameter and verified at 11.5mm thick, the case exhibits excellent alternating brushed and polished surfaces. The total weight of 162g provides a substantial, balanced feel on the wrist.
The dial achieves a deep black tone with a dynamic sunburst finish that plays with ambient light. Applied markers are filled with white luminous material, ensuring sharp contrast and low-light visibility.
The fixed stainless steel bezel is precisely machined to reflect the brand’s iconic Maltese cross motif, featuring a high-polish finish on the raised segments and a brushed base tier.
ZF successfully replicates the proprietary quick-release system, allowing the wearer to detach the bracelet without tools. The Maltese cross-shaped links articulate smoothly with minimal lateral play.
Why ZF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: “Why not 8F or BP Factory?”
ZF is selected as the premier choice for the 4500V primarily due to its superior case geometry and dial execution. While other factories often struggle to keep the case thickness under 12mm, ZF achieves a verified 11.5mm profile. Additionally, ZF’s execution of the proprietary quick-release strap mechanism is mechanically sound and operates with much tighter tolerances than competing versions.
Full Disclosure: Because the clone 5100 movement relies on a Miyota 9015 base, the unidirectional winding rotor can be slightly audible in quiet environments—a known horological trade-off for utilizing this highly reliable ebauche.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the quick-release strap system function like the genuine 4500V?
A: Yes. ZF has successfully replicated the proprietary pusher mechanism located on the underside of the lugs. This allows you to detach and swap the steel bracelet without the use of spring bar tools, operating with very similar tolerances to the authentic piece.
Q: How accurate is the 11.5mm case thickness compared to retail?
A: The genuine Vacheron Constantin 4500V measures 11.0mm in thickness. The ZF edition measures 11.5mm. This minor 0.5mm variance is necessary to accommodate the modified Miyota 9015 movement and its decorative top plates, but the difference is virtually imperceptible on the wrist.
Q: Are the movement plates engraved or printed?
A: The decorative bridges and plates on the ZF clone 5100 are physically engraved rather than printed. They feature simulated rubies and Côtes de Genève finishing, along with the signature 22K gold-plated wind rose compass pattern on the rotor.
Q: Is the rotor noise noticeable on this specific ZF model?
A: Yes, it can be. Because the clone movement utilizes a Miyota 9015 base, which features a unidirectional winding system, the rotor can occasionally be heard free-spinning in quiet environments. This is a known and accepted horological trade-off for the reliability that the Miyota ebauche provides.
