Yellow gold and steel do create the warm nostalgia that everybody is still craving.Ī pink gold, platinum, or titanium case that encloses the caliber 2455/2 is more unlikely. Which metal? The original one came in steel, so why not steel? A historically correct two-tone version is also plausible. We feel it’s safe to say that last year’s 222, a 37 × 7.95mm yellow gold creation that stayed very, very close to the original design of Jörg Hysek, will get a successor in the shape of another 222 made of a different metal. The rebirth of the 1977 original had many cheering. Raise your hand if the Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 was your favorite watch of Watches and Wonders 2022. Prediction: Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 in steel Final predictions: Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 in steel and steel and gold It’s like in the 1975 Parliament song “Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)” that goes, “Oww, we want the funk, give up the funk / Oww, we need the funk, we gotta have the funk.” We just can’t get enough of that funky green crystal. We expect to see the return of the white dial plus a black one with a green sapphire crystal over it. The exact colors of the dial and sapphire crystal are easy to predict as well. The upcoming Milgauss - let’s give it the reference number 126400GV, shall we? - will go the way of the most recent Air-King, so we will see the same 40mm case with crown guards and the caliber 3230 inside. Now it has crown guards befitting a professional tool watch. The recently updated Air-King 126900 uses the more advanced caliber 3230. It’s cosmetically different, yes, but inside the identical 40mm steel cases beats the automatic caliber 3131. The current Milgauss reference 116400GV is basically the same as the discontinued Air-King 116900 that debuted at Baselworld 2016. We pretty much did this one with our eyes closed.
