    Sei varianti di quadrante, cassa in accaio satinata per la gamma Sport (4 modelli), lucida per quella Classic (2). Dimensioni anabolizzate (44.60mm) ma in qualche modo giustificabili per un orologio "aviatore". Particolari i secondi continui ad ore 9 ispirati all'Alarm Flag del cockpit del pilota.
    Qui il modello Sport con quadrante cioccolato che mi ricorda lontanamente il Breguet Type XX. Ok... molto lontonamente :)
    L'altro è in versione Classic con quadrante bianco. Movimento automatico con rotore scheletrato.
    E ora buona partita!



    The new Aviator Instrument Chronograph collection from Vulcain comprises six references in two ranges, sport and classic, all featuring a virile 44.60 mm 316L steel case.

    The "sport" range includes four models with cases which alternate brushed bezel and lugs to some polished details. Dials can be chocolate, blue, charcoal grey or silver.

    The "classic" range, which includes two models, is equipped with polished cases except for a few brushed surfaces. Dials can be off-white or black.

    The various dials are characterised by large Arabic numerals treated with Super-LumiNova and a continuous seconds counter at 9 o'clock inspired to the “Alarm Flag” appearing on radio altimeter cockpit instruments. The chronograph 30-minute and 12-hour counters at 3 and 6 o’clock respectively.

    In some models the push piece at 2 o'clock matches the colour of the dial.

    The automatic Calibre V-59, visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 48 hours. The skeleton rotor provides a glimpse of the movement.
