Newsflash: Vulcain Skindiver Nautique Blue and Black.
Here no Alarm, for once, for Vulcain, but a cool re edition of a watch from 1968.
316L Steel case, 38 mm big, 12, 2 mm case ( 13, 75 mm including the case back and the domed sapphire, water resistant to 200 meters.
Unidirectional bezel, made in ceramic, if I got it correctly.
Two dials, one brushed blue, the other in matte black, Khaki Brown Luminova.
Strap: Black leather, carbon style.
And as for the movement, a good surprise with the return of the good old ETA 2824, Automatic, 28, 800 vph.
Some official photos:
The other good surprise? The price: 1490 CHF!
A fair and good looking offer, I think.
Best,
Nicolas

38 mm is an interesting size.
Generally a very nice looking, solid watch for a fair price. A formidable present/gift watch!
Other than possibly wishing it was a silly mm or two larger I love it! Great movement choice compared to the usual fare these days at this price point.
Strong competition for the Oris Diver 65. Trying to tighten purse strings so glad no one sells those around here!
Hey, this is REALLY cool
Nico, do you know when this is coming out? And is it some sort of limited edition / production? Hugely tempting as a holiday watch for the tropics. Make mine the blue dial please. Maybe on an actual ‘tropical’ strap (unless the leather strap can do ok in ...
I was thinking the same thing regarding a Tropic strap . . .
According to their IG page from 10 weeks ago, there should be an option for a Tropic strap at launch:🤞 ...
Yep!
On a tropical island, fluffy clouds in azure sky, palm trees, linen shirt, swim trunks, breeze in my hair, coconut / local beer in hand, gorgeous girl in bikini on either side of me, not a care in the world, this on my wrist. Now all I need is the tropica...
Very nice Nicolas -- thanks for letting us know!
We all need another watch, right? ;-)
For the record, I love any quartz watch with a date window ...
... as long as it has diamonds and gold trim (or fake diamonds and gold plate) ;-)
Refreshing size,
I agree! Those hands are my favorite part! Overall, excellent effort here from Vulcain
For historical reasons or because you prefer the look of the Black

38 mm is such a nice size for most. Only think that the hour hand is a bit too long?
And i really don't mind if they charge a few couple more and put applied markers though
And the Oris simlar to this one...
I think you can say the same for a lot of diving watches. Look at the first Blancpain and Rolex diving watches... Look at the first Seamaster 300 and the Deep Sea Alarm... ...
Ah, hello, JLC HQ…
…would you mind making a reedition of this please? Thanks. Also, don’t price it crazy. Much appreciated. Best E.
30mm? Ehhh…in height???
I’m blown away. And intrigued. Who knows? Would have to see it in the metal, on my wrist. Perhaps, for the man who has nothing to prove, it is perfect. (Am I that man? Or am I the man who wants to prove that I am the man with nothing to prove? Hmmm…) Best...
Lots to like with this one, great size, no date & hands are spot on.
Particularly struck by the blue dial. Cheers JML
