Grand Prix - Small Second Blue Watch

The Watch

This Vulcain "Grand Prix" watch embodies elegance and sophistication through its classic lines and premium materials. The case, with a diameter of 39.00 mm, is crafted in 316L stainless steel, renowned for its durability and quality. The steel features a polished finish, giving this model a captivating brilliance. At 12.70 mm thick, the watch sits discreetly on the wrist while commanding a confident presence. Swiss construction ensures impeccable precision and the robustness of proven watchmaking expertise. The caseback is screw-down, guaranteeing superior water resistance and optimal protection against moisture and dust. The crown, positioned at three o'clock, makes hand adjustment easy - though it is not screw-down, which adds to the accessibility and ease of use of this elegant timepiece.

The Dial

The dial of this watch, in a deep, beautifully sunray-brushed blue, stands out for its ability to reflect and capture light in a spectacular way. The silver-tone Arabic numerals ensure optimal legibility, while the minute track adds a refined watchmaking touch. Positioned at 6 o'clock, the small seconds complication blends tradition and functionality within a subtle sub-dial that draws the eye. At 12 o'clock, Vulcain's prestigious brand name, alongside the collection name "Grand Prix," is proudly displayed, underscoring the brand's heritage and innovation. The dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal, renowned for its scratch resistance, and features an anti-reflective coating to minimize glare for perfect visual comfort in any light.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats the Landeron L24 caliber, a prestigious automatic movement that embodies Swiss perfection. This movement uses a rotor to store energy autonomously, delivering a power reserve of 40 hours. Beating at a frequency of 28,000 vph (4Hz), it offers exceptional precision and fluid hand motion that will delight watch enthusiasts. Displaying hours, minutes and a small seconds function, this watch keeps every horological detail in check. A true standard of Swiss reliability, it is built to run flawlessly for decades - defining dependability through every harmonious turn of its finely calibrated gears.

The Strap

The textured black crocodile-grain leather strap enhances the natural elegance of this watch. Offering exceptional wrist comfort, it blends tradition and modernity through its impeccable finishing and subtle contrast stitching. The black leather beautifully offsets the deep blue dial, creating a perfect visual harmony and a sophisticated look. The strap fastens with a silver-tone pin buckle, practical and secure, allowing easy and stable adjustment on the wrist.

Water Resistance

This watch keeps up with your daily life thanks to a water resistance of 5 ATM, equivalent to a depth of 50 meters. This level of protection handles everyday exposure with ease - whether that's washing your hands or getting caught in a downpour. The timepiece's integrity is maintained by its robust case and screw-down caseback, providing reliable protection against the splashes of daily life. While it's not designed for diving or prolonged submersion, it more than meets the needs of refined watch enthusiasts who want dependable water resistance for modern life.
