The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Ref. 5500V/110A-B075 is a modern expression of luxury sports-watchmaking, combining haute horlogerie finishing with a versatile, travel-oriented design. This reference belongs to the second generation of the modern Overseas line has quickly become one of the most desirable steel luxury chronographs on the market. Its blend of refined aesthetics, technical mastery, and practicality reflects Vacheron Constantin’s centuries-long legacy as one of the world’s most prestigious manufactures. 

 The watch features a 42.5mm stainless steel case, sculpted with the Overseas collection’s signature six-sided bezel inspired by the Maltese Cross. The case architecture alternates brushed and polished surfaces, creating strong reflections that enhance the sporty yet elegant presence on the wrist. The profile is sharply faceted yet exceptionally ergonomic, with curved lugs that position the watch comfortably even for extended wear.

The dial is presented in a silver-tone sunburst finish, radiating a soft metallic sheen that shifts subtly in varying light. Every detail is meticulously executed: faceted baton hour markers, polished hands filled with Super-LumiNova, and three recessed snailed chronograph subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock that balance legibility and aesthetics. A date aperture at 4:30 blends seamlessly into the layout without disturbing symmetry. The overall effect is clean, crisp, and refined—instantly identifiable as Vacheron Constantin.

On the back, a sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the in-house automatic chronograph movement, anchored by its 22k gold rotor decorated with a windrose motif symbolizing travel and exploration—the ethos of the Overseas collection.

The watch is typically supplied with Vacheron’s brilliantly executed interchangeable strap system, although your example currently displays a black alligator leather strap paired with the signature Vacheron folding Maltese Cross clasp, offering both comfort and security.
