The Caliber 1126/1 verses the Caliber 1222 SC
I have received a great photo from VC of the movement inside my 2005 VC Overseas which is being serviced (attached) and note the movement though both marked 21C appears to have a different Caliber number to the latest shown on the VC website - 1126/1 vs 1222. Apart from the number difference, I would be very interested to know other differences of interest? regards Andy

Hi Andy, The VC Cal 1222 is for the dual timezone version of the Overseas, rather than the simple auto. By the way, the 21C refers to the 21karat gold outer weight on the selfwinding rotor. It isn't a caliber reference. This base caliber is the JLC, as th...

1126 1126/1 1226?
Good thread for me as I've always pondered the difference between the Cal 1126 of a few years back the 1126/1 and now the current 1226.
Here is a pic of cal.1222 for comparison
courtesy of The Hour Lounge: As far as the 1126 vs 1126/1 - the latter movement was uprated to 28,800 vph for higher claimed accuracy. It was used, for instance, in the Ref. 47022 Chronometre Royal with COSC certificate. Hope this helps :-) ...
