A Historic Dive Watch with a Revolutionary Alarm System The Vulcain Cricket Nautical is not just a watch; it is a professional diving instrument with a deep connection to underwater exploration. First introduced in 1961, it was the first diver’s watch to feature: A mechanical alarm audible underwater An integrated no-decompression dive table on the dial This pioneering design was developed in collaboration with: Hannes Keller, a Swiss physicist, mathematician, and deep-sea diving innovator Max-Yves Brandily, an explorer and filmmaker Arthur Droz, a certified diving instructor and C.I.A.S representative Together with Manufacture Vulcain, they created a timepiece that enhanced diver safety and precision timing. A Legacy of Exploration On November 3, 1966, Hannes Keller wore a Vulcain Cricket Nautical during his record-setting dive to 250 meters in Toulon, France. This achievement was witnessed and validated by Jacques Cousteau, proving the reliability and functionality of the Cricket Nautical as a professional diving tool. Modern Reissue with Exhibition Case Back This reissue of the Cricket Nautical remains faithful to its predecessor while incorporating modern refinements and high-quality materials. Unlike the original triple case-back resonance chamber, this version features an exhibition case back, which still allows the alarm sound to be clearly heard underwater.
