Features/Selling points

This time I would like to introduce you to Vulcan's hand-wound watch. A machine equipped with an old movement with a chronometer display. This is a vintage model that uses a cushion case with a 3P structure that combines plating and SS.

The dial is two-tone. A combination of all black numbers and blued spade hands. It has a good-looking design with attention to detail and a small seconds dial at the 6 o'clock position. The case has a three-structure cushion form: SS bezel and SS snapback. The band is equipped with an externally made leather strap. This antique watch is recommended for those who want to enjoy a different kind of fashion.

VULCAIN

Vulcain is a long-established watch brand founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland by the Ditisheim brothers in 1858. The world's first alarm watch, the Cricket, was developed in 1947 after five years of trial and error, and the name Vulcan became known around the world. It was nicknamed the "President's Watch" because successive U.S. presidents wore this watch, and it became popular all over the world. Vulcan went dormant for a while in 1986, but was revived in 2002. It is a prestigious brand that has been praised for its technical ability and artistry, and we can expect future developments.

Condition/Scratches/Breath pieces/Accessories

Dial (dial): There are signs of aging such as burns, stains, and dirt. There is no fading of characters or memory. The hands and indexes have changed over time.

Case/back cover: Scratches and scratches are visible. The engraving on the back cover is clear. There are no large dents.

Windshield: Scratches and scratches are visible. Daily visibility is maintained sufficiently when worn.

Belt: It is made outside the company. There is a feeling of use, but it can be installed immediately.

Method of operation: The knob on the right side of the case is the crown. You can manually wind it in the same position.

This is a hand-wound watch, so please use the crown to wind the mainspring every day. If you wind the watch past the end of the winding force, the mainspring may break, so please wind it up as slowly and gently as possible. Wind the crown by turning it to the right (clockwise) and pushing it forward with the pads of your fingertips.

Pull the crown and turn it to move the hands and adjust the time. There is no hack (second hand stop) function.

Accessories: Only the main body.

Daily difference/size: The daily difference is within 30 seconds when measured over a 24-hour period. (I think there will be some differences in posture during implementation). Lug width 18mm. The case diameter is approximately 30mm (excluding the crown), the length (lug to lug) is approximately 35mm, and the thickness is approximately 9mm (including the windshield).
