The gold on gold dial convinced me to vote for the 222
Comparing these exact models, I voted for the 222 in this showdown. There are Overseas models I prefer over the 222, but not the one they chose..
The Overseas Ultra Thin (2000V) that was released in 2016 with the Cal 1120 feels like the true spiritual successor to the original 222. The modern 222 is a more commercial product, due the decision to adjust the dial and proportions to the Cal 2455/2, rather than relaunch with the Cal 1120.
The 2000V is very hard to find nowadays, maybe one pops up for sale for every thirty Overseas Perpetual Calendars on Chrono24. The price at the time was very high, but it's thinner than the 222, with an interchangeable strap and bracelet system.
Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 Vs. Overseas Self-Winding

I like the 222 but
in stainless steel. I’ve owned several Overseas and would love to try the 222. Cheers, Jonathan
Prefer the slimmer
look of the Historiques 222 but bemoan the loss of the 1120 movement with this re-edition. Maybe its too soon to tell, but I am curious to know if they've addressed the weak point of the original bracelet design where it joined the case. The pins would st...
For me 222 is the obvious choice here.
Nothing wrong with a gold tool watch ( and it is very very beautiful I can’t deny it ) but to me it feels like an oxymoron, the gold 222 is much more rooted in its design and aesthetic imho.

Both beautiful. Tough choice.
For me I would pick the Overseas. I love the shine of the dial and of course the beautiful blue color. The 222 is very nice but I even prefer the dimensions of the overseas. For the bracelet there is no comparison; the 222 hands down. But as someone else ...
The real winner - nether of these unfortunately
Instaed, it's the 2000V. All the elegance of the Overseas line, without the bulkiness as it retains the original 1120 movement. It is the most elegant combination of the 222 and 3rd gen overseas. VC needs to quickly re-release this watch. This watch shoul...
