Vulcain 50s Presidents' Chronograph Heritage

Dec 12, 2014,00:46 AM
 

One watch I was very impressed with when I saw the Vulcain collection earlier this year was the 50s Presidents' Chronograph Heritage.

Good size 42 mm (if I remember correctly), beautiful dial, love the gilt leaf hands....

 

Nice, strong case.

 

 

The dial is magic, changes colors depending on light and sorrunding!

beautiful hands and been a monopusher makes it even more "special". With its "black/grey/blue/brown"? dial, 42mm still makes it very wearable for a "smallish" wrist like mine. What is the mouvement used in this watch? Thank you for the nice pictures. Chee... 

The automatic movement Cal V-57

A nice looking movement. And when considering the price.... :) Best Blomman ...  

Agreed, Blomman, a very smart offer from Vulcain, and a tempting offer.

What's beating Inside? Best, Nicolas.

Love the dial side

Inside is OK, but not as nice as the dial! Best Blomman

Manual winding would have been better, and more consistent.

But at this level of price, this is a super product. Best, and thanks for he information, my dear Zhege. Nicolas

Yes, that's the one, thank you Zhege [nt]

Well, yes and no...

My friend, if I was in the market for a modern chrono in this price range, yes definitely. I am not for the moment... So, no. But I find that Vulcain has started a very interesting rebuilding of the brand. Something to keep an eye on for the future! Best,... 

First time laying eyes on this mode.

I like it quite a bit. Nice vintage dial and the movement looks somewhat interesting as well. Will have to take a closer look at this one. Thanks for posting this. Darren

Darre, I think this one....

Lucky you, Fx! :)

.....not sure why, but it has something of the Big Indian about it

Here is my wristshot!

Fx ...  

Pretty convincing Chrono. Too bad it is auto.

 
 By: amanico : December 16th, 2014-14:16
But at least, it is not too pricey... Best, Nicolas

Nice shot, Fx! :)

Thanx for sharing.

I think Vulcain really upped their game last couple of years!
