Vulcain Chronograph 1970’s Green

Green is the new black. Balance, nature, spring, rebirth – green symbolizes prosperity, renewal, and progress. There’s a hint of rebelliousness, too.

The new dial of the Chronograph 1970s  isn't just any green—it's a canvas of intrigue. Radiant yet profound, with a hint of burnt undertones, it wraps itself in layers of mystery. To some, it evokes the iconic British Racing Green; to others, it whispers tales of more mystical and cultural depths. 

This green doesn't just catch the eye—it challenges the mind. Dive into its enigma and uncover what secrets it holds for you!

The Chronograph 1970s races beyond convention with its unique "Step-Case" design, spanning 38 mm in diameter and 12.40 mm in thickness, igniting a passion for the vibrant green. Under the hood: a manual SW510 M BH movement, boasting a 63-hour power reserve, fueling the excitement of collectors with its swift precision and captivating lines.

1947... Did we just hear a cricket?

It was in 1947 that Vulcain made a pivotal turn in its history by introducing the first alarm wristwatch. The sound of the alarm became Vulcain's hallmark. This was the now-famous Cricket caliber, a mechanical alarm wristwatch powerful enough to awaken its wearer with the determined chirping of a cricket. A global first. The Vulcain Cricket swiftly became a sought-after item, famously worn by Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, and Johnson, earning it the nickname "The Presidents' Watch.”

Echoing the innovative spirit of the Cricket, the 1970s Chronograph with its green dial sets a new standard, embodying Vulcain's enduring legacy of breaking new ground.
