In 1996, Vacheron Constantin introduced its high-end sports line called Overseas. It was a collection conceptualized to satisfy global travelers with an appetite for casual yet elegant statement pieces. This Ref. 49150/B01A-9095 is distinguished by a tastefully designed silver dial set in a stainless steel case. Powered by the VC1137 column-wheel chronograph movement, the watch carries itself with its distinctive big date window display.
The oldest continuously active watch manufacture that is still in operation, the brand has had a long, uninterrupted history in watchmaking since its establishment in 1755. Built by Swiss watchmaker Jean-Marc Vacheron, the brand is one of the few manufactures to employ artisans including gem-setters, enamel painters and hand engravers in-house. Through the centuries, the brand has produced watches for a number of luminaries including several European and Asian royal families, writers, world leaders and inventors. In 2015, to commemorate the 260th anniversary of the brand, Vacheron Constantin introduced its most complicated watch, the Reference 57260 pocket watch, weighing 957 grams and consisting of 57 total complications including a grand sonnerie and petit sonnerie, a perpetual Hebraic calendar, the date of Yom Kippur, a three axis-tourbillon, and a split-seconds chronograph. Since 1996, the brand has been incorporated as a subsidiary of the Swiss conglomerate Richemont Group.
