Watch Cricket President 36mm Pale Salmon

The Watch

Vulcain is unquestionably a benchmark in the world of fine watchmaking. With over 150 years of history and unrivaled expertise, the house creates exceptional timepieces that marry cutting-edge technology with refined elegance. Celebrated for its iconic models and unique mechanical movements, in 1947 it made history by launching the world's first alarm wristwatch - the Cricket. Equipped with a chiming mechanism, it became the go-to piece for "Presidents," famously worn by Harry S. Truman and his successors. A true timeless classic, it expresses its character through a sleek design and outstanding quality. Today, a year after the model's revival, the Le Locle manufacture explores bold new color territories. The house is proud to unveil this stunning limited re-edition - the Cricket President 36mm Pale Salmon. Limited to just 50 pieces, it is a genuine ode to elegance, perfectly in tune with today's trends. Its clean, minimalist design transitions effortlessly from one outfit to the next, blending retro '70s character with contemporary style. It features a round case measuring 36.00 mm in diameter, crafted in 316L stainless steel with a polished finish for added brilliance and charm. Designed for both men and women, it showcases a bezel with a circular satin finish that adds distinctive character. The grooved crown at 3 o'clock handles function adjustments, while the pusher at 2 o'clock controls the alarm. The dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal that shields it from scratches and daily wear, with an anti-reflective treatment ensuring optimal legibility at all times. Finally, this watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM thanks to its case back. You can choose between a solid screwed steel case back or a transparent sapphire crystal case back.

The Dial

The uniqueness of this timepiece lies in its stunning round dial in pale salmon. Its clean, charming design is enhanced by a semi-matte and sunray finish that is sure to turn heads. Combining elegance and functionality, it features silver-toned indicators for a striking contrast. Applied baton indexes mark the hours, alongside a minute track running along the outer edge for added time precision. Two dauphine hands indicate the hours and minutes - short and long respectively - accompanied by a seconds hand and a fourth arrow-tipped hand that handles the watch's integrated alarm function, pointing to the graduated scale marked with Arabic numerals 10, 30, and 50. The maison signs its creation with its name and collection title at 12 o'clock, and affixes the "Swiss Made" label toward the bottom of the dial.

The Movement

This iconic watch is powered by a Swiss-made manual-winding mechanical movement crafted by Vulcain - the Vulcain Cricket V-10 caliber, celebrated for its robustness and performance. Featuring 25 jewels, it incorporates 12 mechanical alarm lines and 165 components. A double-barrel mechanism equipped with the Exactomatic system beats at 18,000 vph. It is decorated with a nickel-plated finish, blued screws, and skeletonized click springs. Reliable and smooth, it drives all the functions of this watch for precise analog display. The power reserve stands at 52 hours.

The Strap

Vulcain pairs this fabulous model with five interchangeable straps crafted in calf leather, perfectly complementing its vintage aesthetic. Refined and versatile, they will elevate any outfit with a touch of everyday elegance. Each strap adjusts to your wrist with a logo-embossed tang buckle in 316L stainless steel.

The first strap features a classic black color with tone-on-tone stitching for added charm. It creates a beautiful contrast with the dial and delivers a timeless look. Supple and comfortable, it will conform perfectly to your wrist.

The second strap, in a rich brown hue, lends this watch its unmistakable vintage character. Tone-on-tone stitching runs along its length, adding a subtle layer of charm and craftsmanship to the overall look. Its timeless style ensures a one-of-a-kind appearance.

The third strap features a grey tone with matching stitching that enhances its elegant appeal. Refined and versatile, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit and offers comfortable everyday wear.

The fourth strap, in black, is elevated by an alligator print and black stitching that accentuate its elegance. Both vintage and modern, it will add a refined touch to any outfit for a truly distinctive look.

The fifth strap, in a warm brown tone, features a refined alligator-print finish elevated by matching stitching for added charm. Supple and comfortable, it will grace your wrist with understated elegance for a clean, polished look.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 meters, this watch takes its first step into water-resistant territory. While it's not built for swimming, lap sessions, or diving, you can safely forget to take it off in the shower from time to time. That said, our watchmaking specialists strongly recommend keeping this timepiece away from prolonged water exposure - skip the bath, pool, and sea - to preserve the precision and longevity of the movement.
