This isn't just a watch; it’s a piece of 1970s "Mod" history. Purchased new by the original owner at a duty-free shop in Montego Bay in 1972, this Vulcain features a stunning "Open Heart" design that was decades ahead of its time. Vulcain is famously known as the "Brand of Presidents," but this cushion-case skeleton is a rare departure from their standard line.
The Details:
• Movement: 22-Jewel Swiss Automatic. A high-jewel count for this era, visible through the dial.
• Condition: The case, crystal, and dial are in museum-quality cosmetic condition. Sharp edges on the cushion case and a crystal that looks brand new.
• Bracelet: Currently fitted with a sturdy stainless steel Seiko bracelet (original blue suede didn't survive the decades).
• Service Note: Being transparent—it runs fast. It has been in a jewelry box for years and likely just needs a simple regulation or "clean and oil" service to be a daily wearer again.
Why buy this?
You won't find another one in this cosmetic condition. It’s a perfect entry-point for a collector looking for a high-end Swiss name (Vulcain) with a unique 70s aesthetic.
Location: Red Bluff, CA. Local pickup. Cash.
