The joints of the bracelet \u2013 which is now fastened with a triple-blade rather than a twin-blade clasp \u2013 have been redesigned to hide the visible pins and improve ergonomics.

DESCRIPTION
HISTORIQUES 222 STAINLESS STEEL WATCH, REINVENTING A SYMBOL OF DARING CREATIVITY
To begin the celebration of 270 years of passion, and in response to the expectations of its clients, Vacheron Constantin presents the inaugural timepiece marking its anniversary year: the Historiques 222 in stainless steel.
This model harks back to a legendary creation, first unveiled in 1977 to mark its 222nd anniversary. Designed by Jorg Hysek, the model was an immediate departure from the sports watch conventions of the time, which had mainly been professional models for pilots, divers and explorers, and captured a new cultural mood that blurred the lines between formality and sportiness. As well as marking a break with traditional sports watch characteristics, the 222 was a quintessentially 1970s design and introduced a new stylistic signature to the Maison.
Fitted with an integrated bracelet, its case featured a functional construction with a flat table, topped by a prominent fluted bezel and stamped with a Maltese cross at 5 o’clock.
