Historiques 222 – Stainless Steel “Jumbo” (37mm)

The Historiques 222 in Steel is a cult classic reborn. Unlike its gold counterpart, the steel version strips away the opulence to reveal the pure, architectural lines of the design. It is raw, industrial, and incredibly sophisticated—a watch that speaks to the golden era of integrated sports watches without saying a word.

Design & Craftsmanship

Monobloc Architecture:
The tonneau-shaped case is machined from a single block of stainless steel. Its flat top and sharply angled sides are finished with a vertical satin brushing that absorbs light, giving it a matte, tool-watch aesthetic. The serrated (fluted) bezel ring adds a touch of mechanical detail to the otherwise clean profile.

Hexagonal Integration:
The bracelet is the heart of the 222. Composed of hexagonal center links, it articulates with a fluidity that defies its metal construction. It wraps around the wrist like a second skin, offering a level of comfort that modern chunky sports watches often fail to achieve.

The Signature Mark:
At the bottom right corner of the case (the 5 o’clock position) sits a tiny, applied Maltese Cross emblem. This subtle branding is the “secret handshake” of the 222—a detail that proves you are wearing a piece of history, not just a timepiece.

On The Wrist

The 37mm size is the definition of “vintage proportion.” It doesn’t dominate the wrist; it complements it. The steel construction makes it the ultimate daily wearer—robust enough for the weekend, yet elegant enough to slide under the cuff of a tailored suit.
