Historiques 222 stainless steel watch: a renewed and classic look
To celebrate the brand's 270-year passion for watchmaking and to respond to the expectations of connoisseurs, Vacheron Constantin launched this year's first tribute, the Historiques 222 stainless steel watch.
The new watch has a unique design, tracing back to the legendary 222 watch in the brand's history. This masterpiece was first launched in 1977 to celebrate the brand's 222nd anniversary. During this period, sports watches were mostly professional timepieces for pilots, divers and explorers, while the 222 watch, under the unique conception of the famous Swiss watch designer Jorg Hysek, boldly subverted the creation norms of sports timepieces at that time, actively catered to the emerging cultural trend, and seamlessly integrated elegance and leisure style. The 222 watch innovates tradition, redefines the aesthetics of sports timepieces, incorporates the design essence of the 1970s, and breaks through the iconic style characteristics of Vacheron Constantin, injecting new vitality into the brand.
The watch is equipped with an integrated bracelet and introduces a practical structural design. The flat case is equipped with a striking grooved bezel and the Maltese cross logo is embossed at 5 o'clock. The case is formed in one piece, which means that the movement needs to be loaded from the top. The screw-in bezel design ensures that the watch is waterproof to a depth of 120 meters. The case thickness of the 222 watch is only 7 mm, thanks to the 1120 ultra-thin movement it carries. This movement is only 3.05 mm thick and was once the thinnest automatic movement in the world. It has the function of displaying hours, minutes and date. The watch adopts a simple, elegant and beautiful bar-shaped pointer and bar-shaped hour markers. The bracelet is connected to the middle layer of the case by screws. It adopts a large-sized hexagonal central link design. It is sturdy and durable, with a simple design, full of a strong sense of strength and a confident sense of fashion.

The first 222 watch was nicknamed "Jumbo" by watch collectors. In 2025, Vacheron Constantin reinterpreted this watch with a 37 mm stainless steel case and a Zuya blue dial. The new work incorporates many technical innovations. The clasp has been changed from a two-stage to a three-stage, and the joints of the bracelet links have been redesigned to hide the previously exposed screws, making it more ergonomic. The caseback of the watch is engraved with the Vacheron Constantin 270th anniversary logo and is made of transparent sapphire crystal, allowing the brand's self-made 2455/2 movement to be seen at a glance. The movement is only 3.6 mm thick and the diameter is slightly reduced. The original 222 logo is engraved on the rotor of this high-precision movement, and the groove pattern on the outer edge echoes the bezel. The vibration frequency of the movement has increased from 2.75 Hz of the prototype watch to 4 Hz, 28,800 times per hour, with a power reserve of 40 hours, and more accurate travel time.
The date window is closer to the center of the dial than the original design, away from the minute scale circle on the outer edge. The dial is engraved with the word "AUTOMATIC" in retro font, and the hands and hour markers are covered with Super-LumiNova® luminous coating, which is off-white during the day and turquoise at night, cleverly echoing the design of the original tritium as luminous paint. The decorative and polished details of the new watch are integrated with Vacheron Constantin's persistent meticulous craftsmanship. The crown, bracelet, bezel and other parts are vertically satin-brushed and polished to create a charming light and shadow effect.
Like all watches in the Vacheron Constantin Hisoriques series, the 222 watch marks all the important moments in the development of Vacheron Constantin. While retaining the unique design and retro charm of the prototype watch, the 222 stainless steel watch launched in 2025 also has a modern style that is full of modern style, highlighting the core values ​​​​upheld by Vacheron Constantin, namely exquisite elegance, unrestrained and free and easy, and a firm commitment to excellence.
