This replica vacheron 5500v references the 5500V, the chronograph variant of the Overseas collection that adds timing functionality to the integrated-bracelet design. The 5500V is larger than the time-only 4500V, accommodating the additional subdials and pushers needed for elapsed-time measurement. Two chronograph pushers sit at two and four o’clock, flanking the crown, while the dial arranges running seconds, thirty-minute counter, and twelve-hour totalizer across three registers. Automatic winding powers both the timekeeping and chronograph functions.

The additional mechanical complexity means a thicker case profile compared to the standard Overseas. The column-wheel chronograph architecture in the genuine caliber 5200 provides a smoother pusher feel and more precise engagement than a cam-actuated alternative.

Caliber Breakdown

The genuine 5500V runs caliber 5200, an in-house column-wheel flyback chronograph. Flyback means you can reset and restart the chronograph with a single pusher press rather than the usual stop-reset-start sequence. That mechanism adds a layer of usefulness during sequential timing tasks. The vertical clutch engagement eliminates the seconds-hand stutter common in horizontal clutch designs. If chronograph complications interest you, check the full Overseas selection for other references. The 47450 brown dial at 42.5mm offers dual-time rather than chronograph, presenting a different travel-oriented complication in the same design language.

How It Compares

Within the Overseas family, the 5500V chronograph sits at the top of the steel sport range in terms of mechanical complexity. The time-only 4500V keeps things simple, the dual-time 5520V addresses travelers, and the 5500V covers those who want a stopwatch function integrated into a luxury sport case. The three-register layout fills the dial more densely than any other Overseas variant, giving it the most technical appearance in the lineup. This replica vacheron 5500v puts that chronograph capability on the wrist in the full integrated-bracelet format.
