Vulcain, 50s Presidents’ Chronograph
Friends,
As mentioned, last week I had the chance to see some of the offerings from Vulcain.
Here is a closer look on the 50s Presidents’ Chronograph:
From the looks, Vulcain is using the same case as for the Moonphase I was posting earlier.
The basic elements of the dial looks the same, finish, index and the dauphin hands. But you may notice that the blued second hand is replaced by a hand matching the case metal.
Gone is the full year calendar and instead there is a one button 30 minutes chronograph and a date at 6 o’clock.
I find the watch very classic and well balanced. The strong lugs and hatched crown gives this a sportier look. I like it.
Inside is the Vulcain Caliber V-57, 105 components, 28800 vph and with a 42 hour power reserve.
Available both in steel and pink gold, silver or grey dial.
On the wrist the 42 mm case sits perfect.
Not long ago, Ping asked if celebrities help sell watches…
Well, I don’t know – but let’s find out!
What do you
think, did it work…? 
Best

Without date and with a solid case back, it would be topissimo.
I don't mind the date...
That silver dial is fantastic.
My pleasure, Ingemar!
Weelll.. The tic-tac was very nice to begin with.. The blonde backdrop is a special cherry
Hej HS! :)
VERY handsome Vulcain
Congrats to your new Vulcain, Ano!
Now where did I put my Kodak Instamatic? ;-)
Thank you for your kind words, Ano.
Can anyone shed any light on why there are SIX minute markers between every larger 5 minute marker?
Keen observation, for which I haven't a clue as to the answer. What's even more curious . . .
My guess: It’s easier and less error-prone to set the ALARM hand using visible 10-minute subdivisions, rather than 12-minute subdivisions.
