Vacheron Constantin 47040 Overseas Automatic SS Blue Dial

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas ref. 47040/000A-9008 is one of the most compelling late examples of the second-generation Overseas, introduced in 2015 and produced in a limited run of 350 pieces. Cased in stainless steel with the collection's signature notched bezel and integrated bracelet, it captures the refined sporting character that made the Overseas a cornerstone of modern high horology. Its blue guilloche dial gives this reference unusual presence within the 47040 family and sets it apart from the more common silver and black variants seen from the period. Power comes from the automatic caliber 1126 SC, a slim self-winding movement with central seconds and date, chosen for its reliability and elegant proportions inside the 42mm case. At just 9.7mm thick, the watch wears with the low, balanced profile collectors want from an integrated luxury sports model. The 150 meter depth rating reinforces that this is a true everyday sports watch, not merely a dress watch in athletic form. As one of the final special references before the 2016 Overseas redesign, it occupies an important transitional place in Vacheron Constantin's modern catalog. The combination of limited production, blue dial execution, and classic second-generation case architecture has made this reference increasingly appreciated by collectors who value nuance within the Overseas lineage. For buyers focused on discreet rarity rather than overt complication, 47040/000A-9008 stands out as a technically sound and historically relevant expression of Vacheron Constantin's high-end sports watch tradition.
