Vulcain and Massena LAB announced their partnership at the launch of the Vulcain Nautical Legacy Massena LAB, a 1950s-inspired diver’s watch with a rich, brown dial; redesigned, vintage-inspired hands; and a brand new, Massena-LAB-designed black rubber bracelet. The new timepiece retains all of the rugged, technical know-how of the original Vulcain Cricket Nautical, one of the very-first diver’s watches with an alarm that could be heard underwater. A limited edition of only 25, the watch is powered by the manual-wound Cricket Alarm Calibre V10, with a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.5 Hz) and a power reserve of 52 hours. The in-house calibre has two barrels: one for timekeeping, while the other powers the alarm function. Both barrels are charged by turning the crown at three o’clock: clockwise for timekeeping and counterclockwise for the alarm system.
