Overseas Chronograph Stainless Steel / Brown

In Context

At 42.5 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 13.7 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 150 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 52 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

5500V-110A-B147 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a brown sunburst dial with a stainless steel case. Introduced in 2016. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Caliber 5200 was introduced in 2016 as part of Vacheron Constantin's latest generation of automatic movements. This column-wheel chronograph movement bears the Hallmark of Geneva and an 22-carat gold oscillating weight adorned with a wind rose.

13 other watches in the library run the Vacheron Constantin 5200.
