The story of Vacheron Constantin’s sports watch began in the 1977, the same decade Audemars Piguet introduced their Royal Oak and Patek Philippe introduced their Nautilus. It was designed by Jorg Hysek and it is called the 222, as it was created to celebrate Vacheron Constantin’s 222th anniversary.
In 1996, Vacheron Constantin introduced another sports watch in their line up, called the Overseas. A watch aimed for global travelers that demand a high quality casual yet elegant timepiece. The Overseas design is distinct especially with a bezel reminiscent of their Maltese cross logo.
The chronograph version, reference 49140 was introduced in 1999 and it was produced until 2004. Measuring at 40mm in diameter with around 12mm in thickness.
The dial on this variant is a two tone silver opaline with applied indexes and big date indicator. It has three register for displaying the chronograph minute and hour counter at 3 and 9 as well as the running second at 6.
It is powered by the Cal. 1137 self-winding movement based on the Frédéric Piguet 1185 column wheel chronograph movement that has been highly modified by Vacheron Constantin.
