The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Ref. 49140/423A is a remarkable piece of horological history, representing the very first generation of the Overseas Chronograph. Introduced in 1999 and produced until the mid-2000s, this 40 mm stainless steel chronograph embodies Vacheron’s vision of a luxury sports watch, inspired by the legendary 222 of 1977. Its instantly recognizable Maltese cross bezel, integrated bracelet, and engraved Amerigo Vespucci ship caseback make it one of the most iconic designs in the brand’s modern era.

This watch is in excellent condition, having been fully serviced by our in-house Omega certified watchmaker in August 2025. During the service, the movement received a complete overhaul, the case and integrated bracelet were lightly polished, and a new bezel gasket was installed. The watch also successfully passed a water-resistance test. It comes as a full set, including the original outer box, presentation box, documents envelope, manual, Vacheron Constantin booklet, world service booklet, and the Certificate of Origin and Warranty dated 08/10/2001. A documented service history from 2020 further adds to its provenance.

The black dial, with its luminous markers and subdials at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock, offers superb readability and balance, while the date is neatly placed between 4 and 5 o’clock. Inside ticks the Vacheron Constantin Calibre 1137, based on the highly regarded Frédéric Piguet 1185, featuring a column-wheel chronograph mechanism admired for its precision and smooth operation. The integrated stainless steel bracelet is suitable for wrists up to 19 cm.

With 150 m water resistance, screw-down crown and pushers, and anti-magnetic protection, this Overseas was designed to be a true travel companion—luxurious yet robust. Collectors prize this reference for its role as the first Overseas chronograph, a model that bridged Vacheron’s classic heritage with its modern sports watch identity.

A rare opportunity to own an important part of Vacheron Constantin’s history, in superb condition, with full set and complete service record.
