Swiss
watch producer Vulcain is renowned for creating a practical alarm
complication for wristwatches with the Cricket caliber in 1947. With
roots reaching back to the mid-nineteenth century, the brand became a
preferred watch of explorers and U.S. presidents. Timepieces by Vulcain
were enjoyed by presidents Eisenhower, Truman, and Johnson, and, in
fact, to this very day continue to be owned by U.S. presidents.
The
deeply colored orange dial makes a bold and sporty statement in this
Vulcain Skindiver Nautique watch. Versatile in every regard, it can be
seen across the room or whilst exploring that watery depths of your
favorite ocean.
The
unidirectionally rotating bezel in black features Arabic numerals in
10-minute increments as well as a minute track. The screw-down winding
crown, solid case back, and 200 m / 20 atm water resistance also play a
part in making this a quality dive piece.
Clean
and minimalist in its design sensibility, beneath the scratch-resistant
domed sapphire crystal the dial displays luminous hands and markers as
well as a center seconds hand.
As
a self-winding automatic timepiece, this watch is driven by the ETA
2824-2 caliber, which is protected by the Incabloc shock-protection
system and beats at 28,800 vph, possesses 25 jewels, and delivers a
38-hour power reserve.
Fashion-forward
with its black rubber strap and stainless steel tang buckle, the
stainless steel case measures a comfortable 38 mm in diameter and 12.2
mm in height.
From
its sporty stylings to its quality construction, we believe this
Vulcain Skindiver Nautique will make an excellent addition to your
collection.
