One More L.E.

The rarest 3rd generation Overseas Chronograph out there, and not too many people know about it, so time to change it. Not too long ago, @tim_mosso did a video on rare and collectible Vacheron sports watches and he did a great job. However, when he did not mention this watch, I realized he did not know it existed. So here’s me letting the world know of its existence.

Presenting Reference #5500V/110A-B433 Vacheron Overseas Chronograph "Latin America Edition" limited to 25 made. I came accross this beauty when I was looking for the black (B481). At first I thought it was the blue dial and the lighting wasn't good. Upon looking closer I noticed that it was actually a slate/grey dial with a forest GREEN ring around the second markers. It was hard to figure out what it was because even today, you barely find anything posted on the internet about this version. The watch came with a black rubber strap, SS bracelet and also with an amazing matching grey croc leather strap.

Here's what I was abIe to find thus far as far as information: it was made for, and sold in countries in Latin America, most likely in big cities and tourist towns. I have been offered 3 of these in the last few years and 2 had papers signed in places with tourists/resorts. One was sold in Mexico, one in the Caymans and one in Argentina.

I believe the watch was made for the Latin American market to celebrate the fact that Vacheron Constantin had been selling their watches there for 180 years. Maybe some Vacheron people can confirm my statements, and/or provide more information. Would love to find out more!

I’ve handled 3 of these this far, and I was able to figure out the sequence of case numbers and how they relate to the limited edition number. So if anyone ever needs any help authenticating I can help.
