The long-awaited moment has finally arrived, the celebration of the 270th anniversary of @vacheronconstantin begins with the new Historiques 222 in steel, one of the most eagerly awaited watches by enthusiasts and collectors… Faithful to the creation designed by Jorg Hysek in 1977 on the occasion of the 222nd anniversary of the Brand, the new Historiques 222 features a blue dial framed by a 37 mm diameter steel case. The re-edition benefits from several technical improvements. The bracelet joints have been redesigned to hide the pins and improve ergonomics. The caseback, bearing the signature of the 270th anniversary of Vacheron Constantin, is equipped with a transparent sapphire crystal revealing the Manufacture Calibre 2455/2. The watch has a slightly smaller diameter than its predecessor, measuring just 3.6 mm thick. The oscillating weight of the movement is engraved with the original 222 logo and is edged with a grooved pattern reminiscent of the bezel. On the dial, the date window has been moved towards the center so that it no longer encroaches on the minutes track. The vintage font of the “AUTOMATIC” inscription and the Super-LumiNova coating of the hands and indexes recall the color of the tritium used in historic watches.
Opinion, did you expect it?
