Vulcain Watch Skindiver Nautique Black White Lum 660170B07

The Watch

Founded in 1858, the iconic Swiss brand Vulcain has cemented its legendary status through groundbreaking innovations and an unwavering avant-garde spirit. Treasured by collectors, elite athletes, and American presidents, its watches set themselves apart with sophisticated lines, exceptional performance, and complications that are as impressive as they are relevant. Today, Vulcain proudly presents to all vintage watch lovers and men who appreciate classic elegance this remarkable Skindiver Nautique Black White Lum 660170B07 timepiece - a contemporary reissue of an iconic 1960s model, enhanced with technical and qualitative improvements to suit modern tastes. This vintage-inspired watch will be the centerpiece of every outfit and deliver outstanding performance in any situation. Its round 316L stainless steel case features a polished/vertical brushed finish that lends the whole piece an exquisitely timeless quality. At 38.30 mm in diameter and 12.20 mm thick, its proportions beautifully complement men's wrists while ensuring exceptional wearing comfort. True to watchmaking tradition, a crown with a knurled profile sits at 3 o'clock for easy time setting. A double-dome sapphire crystal covers the dial, providing optimal protection against everyday wear. It features an anti-reflective coating for clear legibility from every angle. A unidirectional knurled diving bezel surrounds it, revealing white minute graduations on its black ceramic insert - allowing you to track elapsed time during any activity. Water-resistant to 200 meters, this watch features a screwed and engraved case back.

The Dial

Enhancing the neo-vintage style of this model, a refined matte black dial sits elegantly within the case, delivering a smooth and clear analog display. Its surface is swept by two silver baton-shaped hands that glide with fluid precision to indicate the hours and minutes. They are joined by a slender gray seconds hand to complete your timekeeping at a glance. The hours are marked on the perimeter - signed "Swiss Made" - by geometric indexes in gray. Like the main hands, these are coated with a white Superluminova layer, ensuring optimal legibility in both bright and low-light conditions. They are encircled by a printed minute track in white dashes. Finally, the brand signs its model just below 12 o'clock with its name and the collection name, and places the "Incabloc" mention at 6 o'clock alongside the movement's jewel count.

The Movement

Vulcain equips this timepiece with a Swiss-made automatic movement featuring 25 jewels and an Incabloc system for shock resistance. More specifically, the ETA 2824-2 caliber was selected. Performing reliably in all conditions, it includes a stop-seconds device and delivers a 38-hour power reserve. It keeps the hands running smoothly for fluid and precise timekeeping at all times. The oscillation frequency of this movement is 4 Hz, or 28,800 vibrations/hour.

The Strap

This timepiece will be delivered with your choice of one of the four straps listed below. They are easy to interchange and measure 20 mm in lug width with a buckle width of 16 mm.

Of Tropic type, the first strap is made of rubber with a carbon-effect texture, blending sporty elegance and modernity.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, equivalent to 200 meters, this model qualifies without hesitation as a true dive watch. Our watchmaking experts agree that while this timepiece is more than suited for showers, baths, lap swimming, freediving, and recreational scuba diving, it is not designed for extreme deep-sea diving where pressure would overwhelm its water resistance. For professional divers looking to push depth limits, we recommend models rated at 30 atmospheres or more. We also advise against operating the pushers or crown while in the water, to maintain a perfect seal at all times!
