Cricket Classique 36 mm Black Alligator Watch

The Watch

For over two centuries, Vulcain has crafted timepieces celebrated for their essential functions and enduring character. Combining resilience, precision, and elegance, the brand delivers models perfectly suited to everyday wear. Through its iconic Cricket collection, it presents the Cricket Classique watch. It features a round case in polished 316L stainless steel measuring 36 mm in diameter with a thickness of 12.80 mm. Its surface is fitted with a magnificent domed sapphire crystal to shield the dial from impacts. On the right, a refined crown is complemented by a gray push-button on top for the various dial adjustments. For added durability, this timepiece offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, secured by either a screw-down or transparent sapphire crystal case back, depending on your choice.

The Dial

Meticulously crafted, this dial is the face of your prized timepiece. It features a graduated outer ring in blue Arabic numerals dedicated to the alarm function. Inside, a crisp white minute track makes reading the minutes effortless. Hour Arabic numeral indices are set in white with a circular border for precise reading. At the center, three elegant silver-tone hands are mounted - two alpha hands for the hours and minutes, plus a slender seconds hand. A fourth gray arrow-tipped hand serves the alarm function. All hands feature a white Luminova coating for clear readability in low-light conditions. The brand's name and collection name are printed in white lettering near the 12 o'clock position, marked by a silver diamond-shaped index. The dial is finished in a striking semi-matte black that adds character and visual appeal.

The Movement

Your treasured timepiece is powered by the legendary manual-winding mechanical movement featuring 25 jewels and an impressive 52-hour power reserve. Manufactured in-house, the Vulcain Cricket caliber V-10 brings this horological jewelry piece to life at a frequency of 18,000 A/h. It comprises 165 components, a double barrel, and is equipped with the Exactomatic system with a 12-line alarm. With a lift angle of 48°, it features a nickel coating, skeletonized click springs, and blued screws. This model offers unquestionable robustness and infallible precision.

The Strap

Expertly crafted, this strap is made from alligator leather in a deep, intense black that only enhances its elegance. Stunning contrast stitching highlights its beautifully appealing design, while the 18 mm width gracefully traces the contours of your wrist. Supple and comfortable, it features a steel buckle with a pin buckle measuring 16 mm wide for a perfect fit. Spring bars between the lugs allow for easy strap changes whenever the mood strikes.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. While it's designed above all to look stunning and turn heads, that precious quality doesn't compromise its resilience. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it by the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. As for swimming and diving, we strongly advise against it - repairs can be costly.
