Bronze & Gray Skindiver Watch 662170A17

The Watch

Founded in 1858, Vulcain holds a leading position in the international watchmaking world, crafting high-quality mechanical timepieces entirely in-house. With deep-rooted expertise steeped in tradition, the brand has created a wide range of models powered by diverse movements and featuring innovative complications. It now unveils the Skindiver Bronze & Gray 662170A17 watch - a reissue of an iconic 1960s model. It comes housed in an elegant, well-proportioned case that pays homage to vintage diver standards, with a manageable diameter of 38 mm and a thickness of 12.20 mm for a confident wrist presence. Expertly crafted in bronze with brushed and polished finishes, it exudes a refined sophistication. The unidirectional ratcheted bezel, perfectly matched to the case, features a black ceramic insert with a minute track and a triangular marker. It frames a domed sapphire crystal that enhances the watch's vintage appeal while protecting the dial from scratches and damage. The bronze-toned crown is grooved for easy grip when setting the hands from its 3 o'clock position. The caseback is sealed with a screwed, engraved caseback ensuring water resistance to 20 ATM.

The Dial

The dial radiates understated elegance. Designed for clear timekeeping, it features a matte gray base with light brown markers for easy reading. The perimeter is accented by a refined minute track, complemented by indices treated with white Luminova for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions. The indices come in a variety of geometric shapes that add to the model's visual appeal: a triangle at 12 o'clock, batons at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and dots for the remaining indices. They are paired with gilt baton-style hands that are equally luminescent, accompanied by a very slender seconds hand. Finally, the brand authenticates its creation by printing its name at 12 o'clock alongside the collection name. As a signature touch, the mentions "Incabloc" and "25 Jewels" appear at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is powered by an automatic movement delivering precise, reliable timekeeping. It features the Swiss-made ETA 2824-2 3H (V66) caliber, equipped with 25 jewels and running at a performance frequency of 28,800 beats per hour, providing a power reserve of 38 hours. This movement offers a traditional three-hand analog display.

The Strap

This watch comes with two straps to choose from in the dropdown menu. Each features a pin buckle and a quick-release system for effortless swapping. The lug width measures 20 mm, tapering to 16 mm at the buckle.

The first strap is made from perforated black rubber. A Tropic-style strap, it is both durable and flexible, delivering a sporty look and unmatched wrist comfort.

The second strap is crafted in black calfskin leather with matching stitching. Refined and elegant, it features a carbon-print finish for a modern look and a pleasingly sophisticated feel.

Water Resistance

With water resistance to 200 meters - or 20 ATM in the precise language of watchmaking - this watch is built for recreational diving. It can handle the shower, the bath, and open water for shallow, non-professional dives (including freediving). For professional scuba diving, our Ocarat watch team has handpicked a selection of 30 ATM models available in the catalog with a quick search on our site. One last reminder before we let you go: never operate the pushers or crown while underwater!
