The panda dial is a quintessential combination that never gets old. Vacheron isn’t exactly known for modern chronographs, but back in the 1940s VC was cranking out what remain some of the most beautiful chronos ever produced. Vacheron first introduced the chronograph complication to its Overseas collection back in 1999. Nearly a decade later, the brand launched the first reverse panda variation to the collection with the Ref. 5500V/110A-B481. Then last year, we finally got a classic panda dial Overseas chronograph with a silver-toned, sunburst satin finish and snailed black counters.
