Vacheron Constantin - Historiques - Black Dial

A meticulous 1:1 recreation of the iconic Historiques 222 featuring a deep matte black dial paired with a full stainless steel case and integrated bracelet. The dial’s subtle sunburst finish creates depth, shifting between charcoal and jet black tones under changing light. Applied baton indices are faceted and polished with luminous channels, while slender baton hands faithfully reproduce the proportions of the original model. The date window at 4:30 is executed with crisp numerals and precise printing, preserving the balanced and functional layout of the original 222. The clean black dial enhances legibility while maintaining the watch’s refined vintage elegance. The stainless steel case combines brushed and polished surfaces with sharp beveled edges. The hexagonal bezel integrates seamlessly with the case, preserving the signature geometric lines and architectural identity of the 1977 original. The integrated stainless steel bracelet features finely brushed surfaces with polished bevels along the links, ensuring smooth wrist articulation and a cohesive aesthetic. The hidden deployant clasp completes the refined and seamless profile. A custom 1:1 movement drives the hours, minutes, and date functions, faithfully replicating the original caliber’s architecture. The movement features intricate technical engraving, a Geneva-style striped rotor, beveled edges, and calibrated mass for smooth and stable winding performance.
