Vulcain has reintroduced its iconic 1960s aquatic alarm watch, the Cricket Nautical, this time in Deep Black (limited to 50 pieces). While this model features modern watchmaking enhancements, it preserves the vintage spirit of the original. The watch is powered by the Cricket V-10 manual caliber, allowing the alarm to function underwater for up to 20 seconds with a water resistance of 300 meters.
In 1961, when Vulcain launched the Cricket Nautical it was a revolutionary diver’s watch. It not only calculated dive duration but also provided an underwater alarm, sounding like a cricket’s chirp, to signal divers when it was time to ascend. This innovation played a crucial role in the evolution of diving watches and popularized both the watches and diving as a sport.
This original design laid the groundwork for modern diving computers. This season, Vulcain has released the Cricket Nautical Full Black entirely in black. This watch caters to both contemporary diving enthusiasts who value the combination of dive safety and practicality and those who admire vintage designs.
