In 1975, exactly two years before it was launched its first official sports watch, the 222, Vacheron Constantin offered to the public a dynamic and elegant model which took the name from a high-end precision pocket watch line of 1907: the Royal Chronometer. The result was the reference 2215, produced in a very small number. The lot here offered in a wonderful specimen from 1978: built in a large water-resistant brushed stainless steel case with cut corners, this sporty and elegant tonneau-shaped wristwatch is powered by a certified chronometer, mechanical and self-winding caliber 1096. The stepped concave bezel impresses thanks to its great state of preservation and its bold design. The black dial has with applied steel and black indexes, aperture for the date and is finely charming conferring to the whole watch a perfect mix of elegance and sportiness. Offered with its original box and papers, the present watch is a true testimony of the future orientation and production of the famous brand. Its typical 1970s style is actually so fashion.
