VULCAIN Grand Prix - Small Seconds Blue

Timeless Sophistication in Blue – the Vulcain Grand Prix

The Vulcain Grand Prix 39 mm is a prime example of how to harmoniously combine classic elegance and modern watchmaking. With its finely polished stainless steel case and a balanced diameter of 39 millimeters, it perfectly resonates with those who appreciate understatement and style. The deep blue, domed sunray dial gives the watch a special depth – depending on the light, a fascinating play of shimmer and shadows emerges. This impression is enhanced by polished hour markers that complete the overall look.

Homage to the Past – with Today's Technology

The double-domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating emphasizes the watch's subtle vintage character and also ensures excellent legibility – even in difficult lighting conditions. The 12.7 mm height appears neither too bulky nor too flat and wears comfortably on the wrist. A water resistance of up to 5 ATM makes the Grand Prix wearable even beyond formal occasions – whether during a walk in the rain or in everyday life. The matching leather strap with fine contrast stitching in black or brown complements the overall look with a touch of restraint.

Stylish, Precise, Understated – the Essence of the Grand Prix

Inside the watch, the reliable Swiss automatic movement Landeron L24 operates, offering remarkable accuracy with 28,800 vibrations per hour. The power reserve of approximately 40 hours ensures that the watch does not stop even if it is left to rest for a day. Without complications, the Grand Prix focuses on the essentials: hour, minute, and second display – pure and stylish at the same time.

A Classic for Modern Gentlemen

For those who value a well-groomed appearance, the Grand Prix is the ideal companion. Whether with a double-breasted blazer, leather shoes, and a silk scarf – it completes every outfit with that unobtrusive class that doesn't impose itself but convinces. Its clear design language and versatility make it the perfect watch for all those who prefer timeless beauty to fleeting trends.

The Birth of the Grand Prix Petite Seconde

With the "Grand Prix Petite Seconde" version, Vulcain demonstrates how skillfully historical design can be combined with contemporary technology. Inspired by the model that won the Grand Prix at the 1929 World Exhibition in Barcelona, this variant reinterpreinterprets the classic design of the 1950s and 60s. The elegant small seconds at six o'clock is a loving reminiscence of past decades and, at the same time, an aesthetic detail that adds additional depth to the dial.

Finest Craftsmanship from Le Locle

The careful craftsmanship of every single detail reflects Vulcain's claim to the highest watchmaking artistry. From the polished 39 mm stainless steel case to the deeply domed dial in midnight blue or emerald green, to the double-domed sapphire crystal – every component is crafted with great dedication. Inside, the Swiss automatic movement Landeron 24S6 works, guaranteeing not only precision but also reliability.
