Vacheron 2215 (stainless sports watch w/ integrated bracelet)
I'm always learning, but I was honestly surprised to happen upon this piece when browsing the web today. The Overseas and its ancestor, the 222, get a lot of attention; I never even knew this one existed, appearing (I believe) right around the same time as the 222, in the mid 70s.
You can see a pic and description (for a long-ago closed auction) here: https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-60...jectid=6085997 I gather this is not an easy or cheap watch to find nowadays. I'm not seeing a single specimen currently for sale. To my eyes, it's better looking than the 222 was, and I think I prefer it to most of the more hype-y ss integrated Genta-y watches that have followed, including the modern Overseas. If VC did a reissue of this, it'd be a winner for sure. Am I the only one who'd never heard of this? Anyone out there own(ed) or ever worn one of these? Curious to know more. |
