Its polished finish adds a radiant touch that amplifies the watch's refinement. A double-dome sapphire crystal sits over the dial, protecting it from daily shocks and wear, and features an anti-reflective coating for optimal readability. The case houses a crown and two pushers for setting and operating the hands and sub-dials. On the caseback, a screwed-in caseback ensures water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

Lending the watch a sober yet sophisticated look with its "Reverse Panda" aesthetic, the round dial features a semi-glossy finish and a black background. It brings a refined, exquisite touch to your wrist while keeping time easy to read at a glance. It is topped by two luminescent baton hands in grey and a slim black seconds hand that precisely indicate hours, minutes, and seconds. Ten silver baton indexes help you quickly identify the hours. Like the hands, they feature a luminescent coating for legibility in both bright and low-light conditions. Signed "Swiss Made", the outer edge houses a minute track graduated in 1/5ths by white markers, surrounded by Arabic numeral graduations enabling the chronograph's 1/100th-second function via the seconds hand. Two silver sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock display 30 minutes and 60 seconds respectively. A tachymeter scale is graduated on a base of 1,000 meters along the outer edges. Finally, the brand displays its name and the jewel count of the movement below 12 o'clock, and mentions "Incabloc" at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss mechanical movement renowned for its outstanding quality and performance, ensuring reliable timekeeping in any situation. Beating at an oscillation frequency of 4 Hz, or 28,800 vibrations per hour, it uses the Sellita SW510 M BH B caliber - equipped by the brand with the Incabloc shock-absorber system. It features 23 jewels and delivers a power reserve of approximately 63 hours. Ensuring smooth hand and sub-dial motion, it provides accurate and dependable readings of hours, minutes, seconds, and all chronograph indications.

The Strap

Select the strap that best suits your style from the dropdown menu. All six options are equally refined and contemporary, each lending the watch a distinctive character. Available in black, brown, and grey with tonal contrast stitching, they wrap your wrist with finesse and deliver a charming masculine look - day or night. Each is fitted with a Vulcain logo-engraved 316L stainless steel ardillon buckle measuring 16 mm wide for easy, secure wear. Note that the lug width is 20 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters, this watch is your first step into the world of water resistance. While it isn't designed for bathing, serious swimming, or scuba diving, you can safely wear it in the shower. That said, our experts recommend keeping this timepiece dry to preserve its mechanism for years to come.
