The dial is protected against shocks and scratches by a domed sapphire crystal. Water-resistant to 5 ATM, this watch is available with either a transparent sapphire caseback or a screwed steel caseback.

The Dial

The round dial of this watch is dressed in a stunning black hue enhanced by a semi-matte finish that lends the whole piece a captivating, understated character. It delivers exceptional legibility while adorning your wrist with presence and class. Two gold-tone dauphine hands sweep gracefully to indicate the hours and minutes, while a fine gold seconds hand tracks the seconds. The hours are marked in pairs by gold Arabic numeral indexes and in odd positions by gold triangular indexes. A minute railway track runs around the perimeter to complete the time display. It is accompanied by an alarm track graduated in 10-minute increments, allowing you to use the alarm function via a fourth hand tipped with a red arrow. Finally, the brand inscribes its name and the collection name below 12 o'clock, and adds "Swiss Made" below 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by the Vulcain Cricket manufacture V-10 caliber 12 lignes, a manual-winding mechanical movement renowned for its quality and outstanding reliability. Featuring two barrels - one for the movement and one for the alarm - it incorporates the patented Exactomatic system for enhanced precision, ensuring accurate and dependable timekeeping. With its 25 jewels, 165 components, and a lift angle of 48°, it beats at 18,000 vibrations/hour and provides a power reserve of 52 hours.

The Strap

Combining durability and suppleness, this beautiful black calfskin leather strap will elevate your wrist every day. Its clean design lends a timeless elegance to the watch, making it equally at home with casual and formal looks. The tonal stitching adds a refined, modern finish to the ensemble. At 16 mm wide, it's comfortable to wear and easy to fasten thanks to its grey steel pin buckle. Note that the lug width is 20 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters, or 5 ATM, this is a timepiece that can handle occasional moisture - but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. You can wear it in the shower from time to time, but to preserve the precision and quality of the movement, our watch specialists strongly recommend keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no sustained contact with water.
