This Vacheron Constantin Overseas (Ref. 72040, Circa 1997) is a spectacular example of first-generation neo-vintage sport luxury. Encased in a versatile 37mm stainless steel frame, the watch features the iconic maltese-cross inspired bezel and a solid caseback secured by 8 screws.
The standout feature is its rare champagne “Sigma” dial, featuring the subtle Greek letters at the bottom that signify the indices are crafted from solid gold. It displays a clean time-and-date layout with a date window positioned at 3 o’clock. Driven by a precise, jeweled Swiss quartz caliber, this piece offers the ultimate in grab-and-go reliability without sacrificing high-end horological pedigree.
The watch comes fully integrated into its signature stainless steel Vacheron Constantin bracelet, complete with a secure double folding clasp that fits a wrist circumference up to approximately 175mm. Fully signed across the case, dial, and movement, this timepiece is offered as a watch-only piece with no accessories. It is an exceptional, under-the-radar daily wearer for collectors who appreciate 1990s luxury sports watch history.
