Overseas Chronograph

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph reference 5500V/110A-B481 is a 42.5 mm stainless steel sports chronograph introduced in 2022, presenting a black lacquered dial with silvered counters that balances legibility with refined elegance. Powered by the in-house Calibre 5200, it represents the Overseas line's ongoing commitment to integrating haute horlogerie movement quality within a robust, travel-ready case. The reference sits firmly within the modern generation of the Overseas family, which has long positioned itself as Vacheron Constantin's answer to the luxury integrated-bracelet sports watch.

The Overseas collection traces its roots to the mid-1990s, when Vacheron Constantin sought to offer a versatile, sporty timepiece capable of accompanying its owner across continents without sacrificing the manufacture's hallmark finishing standards. The line underwent a significant architectural and mechanical overhaul in the mid-2010s, introducing interchangeable strap systems and a new generation of in-house movements. The 5500V family of Overseas Chronographs emerged from that redesign era, with the B481 variant — distinguished by its striking black and silver dial combination — entering production in 2022. Throughout its evolution, the Overseas Chronograph has attracted collectors who prize the rare combination of Genevan pedigree, Hallmark of Geneva eligibility, and genuine sporting utility.
