Vacheron Constantin 47040 Overseas Automatic SS Silver Dial

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas ref. 47040/B01A-9093 represents the refined second generation of the Overseas line, first introduced in 2004. Housed in a 42 mm stainless steel case with integrated bracelet inspired by the Maltese cross, this model features a silver guilloche dial with luminous applied Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12, paired with baton indices and a discreet date window between 4 and 5 o’clock. Powering the watch is the automatic calibre 1126 (also seen in later examples as calibre 1226), offering approximately 40 hours of power reserve and finished to the high standards of the Geneva seal. With 150 m of water resistance and a slim 9.7 mm profile, it balances sporty utility with elegant proportions. The fixed bezel and brushed‑and‑polished surfaces enhance its versatile appeal, making it equally at home in formal or casual settings. As a non‑limited production model, it nonetheless stands out for its heritage as a pivotal modern reinterpretation of the 1977 222 and remains a respected choice among collectors seeking understated luxury with technical pedigree.
