Vulcain - Cricket Nautical

The Vulcain Cricket Nautical holds an important place in the evolution of diving watches, blending innovation and utility.

Introduced in 1961, during an era when diving technology was progressing rapidly, the Cricket Nautical was crafted to cater to professional divers who needed a reliable and functional watch for their underwater ventures. This model incorporated the unique alarm complication characteristic of Vulcain's Cricket line, providing a useful feature for everyday use and an added safety measure for divers. The alarm could signal divers when it was time to ascend, adding an extra layer of security during dives.

We are offering a fine example of the Vulcain Cricket Nautical. This particular watch retains its sharp case edges, its original luminous markers, and bears some subtle signs of wear, indicative of its role as a working tool watch. The presence of these marks doesn't diminish its appeal—instead, they add character and confirm its authenticity as a watch designed for real-world use. The Vulcain Cricket Nautical has become a favorite among collectors due to its unique design, diving-specific functionality, and its status as one of the earlier wristwatches to feature an alarm for underwater use.

Given its limited production numbers, well-preserved pieces like this one are in high demand in the vintage watch market. This example, with its clear lines, working alarm, and overall excellent condition, represents an opportunity for collectors seeking a piece of diving watch history.
