Green is the new black...
Breaking the mold once more, Vulcain now introduce a new iteration of their popular Chronograph 1970s edition. Available at a limited run of only 200 pieces, the Chronograph 1970s has been bedecked in a striking green to symbolise balance, nature, spring, rebirth, prosperity, renewal, and progress, with perhaps a touch of rebellious spirit too.
The striking new dial of the Chronograph 1970s “races beyond convention” whilst remaining true to the known and loved original. Vintage chronograph fans will be pleased to know the green edition appears in an identical 38mm “step case” to that of its predecessors, with polished 316L stainless steel housing and a manual SW510 M BH movement under its hood.
