Vulcain Oversize Opera Monopusher Chronograph
This Vulcain is an opera frozen in metal (pun intended), so picture this: The dial is a grand stage where blued steel hands waltz in tragic romance, and the chronograph registers sing in counterpoint, telling tales of speed and stillness. The case carries some scars of past performances, a baritone with a weathered voice… Beneath it all, the movement sings in mechanical aria, a chorus of gears harmonizing in hidden splendor. It is not merely worn; it is lived, like an aria echoing long after the curtain falls.
MODEL / REFERENCE: Vulcain Opera monopusher chronograph. It dates from circa 1959.
DIAL+HANDS: The streamlined white dial was designed with legibility in mind and follows a bicompax layout, as there is an elapsed minute counter at 3 o’clock, which allows for timing intervals up to 30 minutes. Other than some tiny dark speckles near the center, the surface is almost immaculately preserved, with a crisp and complete black print. The 12 and 6 o’clock Arabic numerals are luminous, as well as the hour marker dots. The Radium lume is perfectly preserved and has acquired a lovely caramel hue, that also matches the Syringe hands inlays.
CRYSTAL: Plexiglass crystal in good overall condition, with a visible blemish near the center that can be cleaned off.
CASE: The stainless-steel case remains faithful to its original allure and oozes a great presence with a 37mm diameter. It hugs the wrist thanks to a set of beautifully cut and elongated lugs. The seemingly unpolished surface is superbly preserved, showing no major defects and very minimal wear marks throughout.
CASEBACK: The screw-down case back has six notches and displays very prominent and legible engravings, along with various scratches throughout. The inner side is clean, decorated and bears no inscriptions, which is correct for this model.
MOVEMENT: The Manually wound Venus 175 with column wheel is unsigned but original. This reliable chronograph movement has been inspected, thus, all its functions run crisply, and its timekeeping performance is exquisite.
CROWN+PUSHER: The winding crown appears to be correct despite being unsigned. It operates flawlessly, from winding to time setting. The pump chronograph pusher at 2 o’clock operates as intended, starting, stopping, and resetting the chronograph module.
BRACELET: 18mm, brown leather strap with a generic stainless steel pin buckle.
ACCESSORIES: Saffiano Leather watch roll.
