Watch Info
Manufacturer: Vacheron Constantin
Model: Overseas Chronograph (2nd Generation)
Condition: Great (Pre-Owned)
Reference: 49150/000W-9501
Year: Circa 2011–2016
Box: No
Papers: No
Accessories: Watch Only. Presented on an integrated black rubber strap with a stainless steel Vacheron Constantin Maltese Cross triple-blade folding clasp.
Notes: The "Deep Stream" is one of the most distinctive iterations of the second-generation Overseas Chronograph. It is defined by its industrial, monochromatic aesthetic—pairing a brushed stainless steel case with a matte titanium bezel and a shimmering anthracite grey dial. Unlike the more traditional steel models, the Deep Stream was designed specifically for straps, giving it a sleek, sporty profile that highlights the architectural lines of the 42.5mm case.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Great. This watch retains its sharp lug definition and the characteristic "coining" of the Maltese Cross bezel. As a titanium-bezel model, it is naturally more resistant to visible scratches than its high-polish steel siblings.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The anthracite "Deep Stream" dial is in flawless condition. The signature oversized "Big Date" at 12 o'clock—a hallmark of the ref. 49150—functions perfectly. The sapphire crystal is clear and free of chips.
Case & Bezel: The stainless steel case middle and titanium bezel are in great shape. Note: There are minor superficial hairlines on the case flanks and pushers. A light professional polish would easily remove these, returning the brushed-to-polished transitions to a factory-fresh appearance.
Strap & Clasp: The strap shows signs of previous wear but remains supple and secure. The stainless steel Vacheron Constantin deployant clasp is in excellent working order with only light surface swirling.

Why the 49150 Deep Stream is a Connoisseur’s Overseas
While the 3rd-generation Overseas (ref. 5500V) gets the spotlight for its in-house movement and quick-change straps, many purists prefer the 49150 for its "Big Date" complication and the legendary Calibre 1137 (based on the Frederic Piguet 1185). This movement is a masterpiece of integrated chronograph design, offering a vertical clutch and column-wheel mechanism that is incredibly smooth to operate.
The "Deep Stream" is the most understated and modern of the 49150s. Its titanium bezel provides a tool-watch edge that balances the "Holy Trinity" luxury of Vacheron Constantin. As a "Watch Only" example, it offers significant value for the collector who wants a high-horology daily driver. With a light touch-up, this piece becomes a near-perfect example of one of VC's most iconic sports designs.
