Expressing its sleekly functional elegance in alternately gloss-polished and satin-finished steel, the Overseas chronograph case’s 42-mm diameter opens on a broad, easy-to-read dial.
Overseas Chronograph
Providing a power reserve of 40 hours, its calibre 1137 self-winding mechanical movement comprises the carefully selected and meticulously finished components that are the hallmark of all Vacheron Constantin movements. A soft-iron antimagnetic screen shields the movement from magnetic perturbations. The case’s screw-locked crown and push pieces, the latter fitted with a knurled locking nut, are designed for full protection against external hazards. Built to withstand pressures equivalent to 150 meters (nearly 500 feet) under water, the Overseas chronograph remains perfectly legible even in dim light thanks to the highly luminous compound coating the hour markers and hands of its dial, available in a choice of silvered or black finish.
Along with the hours, minutes and seconds, it features two totalizers, to 30 minutes and 12 hours respectively, along with an oversized date calendar in twin apertures at 12 o’clock on the dial.
