Description

In the spirit of travel, this new generation of timepieces frees itself from excess, keeping only the essential. Comfort, ergonomics and ease of use make this watch a practical and unique piece, ready to satisfy every requirement. Self-winding mechanical movements, a generous power reserve, a soft iron carriage protecting against magnetic disturbances, perfect water resistance of 5 to 15 bar... these calibers also boast remarkable reliability and durability.

In constant pursuit of innovation, Vacheron Constantin anticipated the emergence of sports watches at the end of the 19th century. It was however, in the 1970s that this trend truly solidified with the birth of the famous reference “222”. Launched in 1977, the watch featured the aesthetic and technical attributes of sports watches and a guaranteed water resistance of up to 120 meters. Since then, this piece, with its radically assertive codes, has never stopped evolving.

The lines are timeless yet contemporary, standing out among the rest. With an hexagonal bezel evoking the Maltese cross, a fluted crown, polished and satin finishes, and a translucent lacquered dial with faceted and luminescent gold hour markers and hands, total harmony comes at any latitude. The sapphire-crystal-topped case back reveals a 22-carat gold oscillating weight adorned with a compass rose, a symbol of travel and exploration.
