Produced between 1996 and 2004, this first generation of the Overseas collection came in two sizes: 35 and 37 mm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"202\" data-end=\"278\"><span class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\">This particular version, the 42042\/423A, combines the 37 mm case with a matte black dial featuring luminous Arabic numerals, a design choice that is both highly legible and subtly refined, giving the watch a distinct military character despite its Grande Maison pedigree. The bezel subtly echoes the Maltese cross, Vacheron Constantin\u2019s emblematic motif. The screw-down caseback is engraved with the Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian Navy\u2019s training ship, and a fitting symbol of the Overseas line\u2019s spirit of travel and adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"280\" data-end=\"356\"><span class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\">Mechanically, the 42042 marks the transition from calibre 1310 to the upgraded 1311, both based on the Girard-Perregaux 3100 \u00e9bauche. COSC-certified, ultra-thin (approximately 3 mm), self-winding, with quick-set date, hacking seconds, a 46-hour power reserve and 150-meter water resistance, this movement embodies both precision and durability. The 1310-to-1311 evolution occurred early in the production run, without any visible changes to the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"358\" data-end=\"434\"><span class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\">The integrated steel bracelet, composed of \"brick-style\" links, offers remarkable comfort and a refined finish with both external and internal anglage. The original folding clasp features a sliding lock mechanism and butterfly closure, combining functionality with elegance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"436\" data-end=\"872\">This example is presented in excellent condition and comes with its full original set. The 42042\/423A reference, uniting the authenticity of a founding generation with timeless elegance, remains a discreet yet deeply representative icon of Vacheron Constantin\u2019s vision for the 1990s.<\/p>\n<div class=\"group w-full text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-100 border-b border-black\/10 dark:border-gray-900\/50 bg-gray-50 dark:bg-[#444654]\">\n<div class=\"text-base gap-4 md:gap-6 md:max-w-2xl lg:max-w-xl xl:max-w-3xl p-4 md:py-6 flex lg:px-0 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-[calc(100%-50px)] flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<div class=\"group w-full text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-100 border-b border-black\/10 dark:border-gray-900\/50 bg-gray-50 dark:bg-[#444654]\">\n<div class=\"text-base gap-4 md:gap-6 md:max-w-2xl lg:max-w-xl xl:max-w-3xl p-4 md:py-6 flex lg:px-0 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-[calc(100%-50px)] flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\">\n<div class=\"flex justify-between lg:block\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center mt-2 gap-2 md:gap-3 lg:gap-1 lg:absolute lg:top-0 lg:translate-x-full lg:right-0 lg:mt-0 lg:pl-2 visible\">\n<div class=\"group w-full text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-100 border-b border-black\/10 dark:border-gray-900\/50 bg-gray-50 dark:bg-[#444654]\">\n<div class=\"text-base gap-4 md:gap-6 md:max-w-2xl lg:max-w-xl xl:max-w-3xl p-4 md:py-6 flex lg:px-0 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-[calc(100%-50px)] flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\">\n<div class=\"flex justify-between lg:block\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center mt-2 gap-2 md:gap-3 lg:gap-1 lg:absolute lg:top-0 lg:translate-x-full lg:right-0 lg:mt-0 lg:pl-2 visible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c9l\u00e9gance et Sportivit\u00e9 Avec la r\u00e9f\u00e9rence 42042, Vacheron Constantin propose, \u00e0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 1990, sa r\u00e9interpr\u00e9tation du luxe sportif \u00e0 bracelet int\u00e9gr\u00e9, h\u00e9rit\u00e9e du l\u00e9gendaire mod\u00e8le 222 de 1977.
