The VC+ Historiques 222 Yellow Gold is a faithful interpretation of one of the most iconic integrated-bracelet luxury sports watches ever created. Inspired by the legendary 1977 original, this model combines elegant vintage styling with modern construction, making it an exceptional choice for collectors who appreciate understated luxury and timeless proportions.
Crafted from yellow gold-plated stainless steel with a perfectly proportioned 37mm case measuring approximately 8.5mm thick, the watch offers exceptional comfort while maintaining the slim profile that defines the Historiques 222. The beautifully brushed surfaces, polished bevels, and signature Maltese Cross emblem integrated into the lower right side of the case showcase the refined craftsmanship that has made this design so desirable. The genuine Historiques 222 also features a 37mm case inspired by the original reference.
The centerpiece of this configuration is its elegant gold dial. The warm metallic finish complements the yellow gold case beautifully while creating remarkable depth under changing light. Applied gold-tone hour markers, baton hands with luminous filling, and the framed date display at 3 o'clock preserve the clean, balanced design that has become synonymous with the 222.
Powering the watch is the Decorated Miyota 9015 Automatic Movement, modified with decorative bridges and rotor to closely resemble the appearance of the genuine VC Calibre 2455/2. Featuring automatic winding, hacking seconds, quick-set date functionality, and dependable everyday performance, the Miyota 9015 is well known for its reliability while allowing the watch to maintain its slim profile.
A sapphire crystal provides exceptional clarity while protecting the beautifully finished dial beneath. The sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the decorated movement, allowing collectors to appreciate the detailed finishing inspired by the genuine calibre.
The integrated yellow gold-plated bracelet offers exceptional comfort through its beautifully articulated links and slim construction. Its seamless integration with the case creates the elegant silhouette that has made the Historiques 222 one of the most admired luxury sports watches ever produced.
VC+ has produced an outstanding interpretation of the Historiques 222, combining accurate proportions, refined case finishing, premium bracelet construction, and the dependable decorated Miyota 9015 movement into one of the finest versions currently available.
