Skindiver Bronze & Black Watch 662170A07

The Watch

With over 160 years of history and innovation, Vulcain carries its heritage and unique expertise into every new collection. The brand crafts high-quality timepieces that marry innovation with tradition through impressive complications. Introducing the Skindiver Bronze & Black 662170A07, directly inspired by a model produced in the 1960s. This edition features a perfectly proportioned round case measuring 38 mm in diameter and 12.20 mm thick - dimensions that suit all men's wrists. Crafted in Bronze, it carries a wonderfully retro character, enhanced by alternating polished and brushed finishes for a sophisticated look. The case is topped by a unidirectional knurled bezel fitted with a sleek black ceramic insert, marked by light brown markers displaying a graduated and numbered minute track and a triangle marker at 12 o'clock. A domed sapphire crystal crowns the assembly, adding a retro touch while protecting the dial from scratches for a clear read. On the right side, a handsome knurled crown in matching bronze tone handles hour and minute setting for precise timekeeping. The case back is screwed and elegantly engraved, ensuring water resistance of 20 ATM.

The Dial

The dial design blends vintage charm with contemporary sophistication. Clean and understated, it features a matte black base that contrasts elegantly with beige markers coated in white Luminova for clear legibility in any light. The perimeter is defined by a minute track with long, slim graduations. The luminescent indices come in various geometric shapes - a triangle at 12 o'clock, batons at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and dots for the remaining hours. Well-balanced, the dial features bronze baton hands also treated with Luminova, complemented by a slim seconds hand. The brand's signature sits at 12 o'clock, with "Incabloc" and "25 Jewels" noted at 6 o'clock alongside the discreet inscription "L. Swiss Made. L."

The Movement

This model is powered by a high-performance automatic movement that delivers a superb timekeeping experience. It features the Swiss-made ETA 2824-2 3H (V66) caliber, composed of 25 jewels and offering a power reserve of 38 hours. With an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it ensures reliable and precise operation. This caliber provides an analog display of hours, minutes, and seconds.

"The Bracelet"

This watch comes with two strap options to choose from in the dropdown menu. Each features a pin buckle and a quick-release system for easy swapping. The lug width is 20 mm and the buckle width is 16 mm.

The first strap is made from perforated black tropic rubber, delivering outstanding comfort on the wrist. With its sporty yet refined look, it feels great to wear all day long.

The second strap is crafted in black calfskin leather - a sleek, timeless choice. Its carbon-print finish gives it a contemporary edge that pairs effortlessly with any outfit.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, equivalent to 200 meters, this model truly earns the title of dive watch. Our watchmaking experts agree: while it's more than capable of handling showers, baths, competitive swimming, freediving, and recreational scuba, it is not designed for extreme deep-sea diving where pressure would eventually compromise its water resistance. For professional divers looking to push depth limits, we recommend exploring models rated at 30 atmospheres or more. We also advise against operating the pushers or crown while underwater to maintain a perfect seal.
