THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF HIGH WATCHMAKING, timepieces and travel have always gone hand in hand. Since the founding of Vacheron Constantin over 250 years ago, “openness to the world” and the sheer thrill of discovery have remained at the core of its philosophy. With the Overseas Chronograph — the latest addition to the legendary Overseas collection — Vacheron Constantin continues to honor the legacy of travel.

The Overseas Chronograph is the ultimate travel companion, but it’s also perfectly designed to be worn every day. Marrying elegance with casual flair, the new timepiece sports the Overseas collection’s iconic blue-lacquered dial with a sunburst satin finish, which is complemented by the new pink gold case, bezel, crown, and dial markers.

The 42.5 mm 18K 5N pink gold case houses a column-wheel chronograph enhanced by a date aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock. Intricately designed with over 260 pieces, the timepiece is powered by the in-house, self-winding Caliber 5200 with 22-karat oscillating weight engraved with a wind rose, which can be seen through the crystal caseback.

Through Vacheron Constantin’s innovative clasp system, the Overseas Chronograph proves to be extremely versatile with three interchangeable straps: blue alligator for a more sophisticated feel, blue rubber for the ultimate sports style, and 18K 5N pink gold for a more monochromatic look. The new Overseas Chronograph fits seamlessly into the collection and adds a new sporty dynamic to the range of travel-inspired timepieces.
