Vulcain debuts a new edition of its ringing diver

Following the launch of the Skindiver, Manufacture Vulcain is now breaking the waves with the reissue of the Cricket Nautical – the legendary diving instrument first introduced over 60 years ago, in 1961. Like its forebear, the Cricket Nautical with its 42mm diameter makes it easy to use the watch and read the dial indications underwater. Two superimposed dials – one fixed and the other rotating, adjustable with a dedicated crown at 4 o’clock – serve to determine decompression times. Depending on the dive duration and depth set on the dials, the rectangular aperture displays the stop times required at the typical depths of 9, 6 and 3 meters when ascending back to the surface after an extended underwater excursion. The new Cricket Nautical, equipped for the first time with a sapphire crystal, comes in two versions – Black dial, faux-patina indexes, and hands, emerald green minute track; and Black dial, white Super-LumiNova hour markers and hands, lagoon blue minute track – and is powered by the Vulcain Cricket Manufacture V-10 calibre.
