The longstanding ties between the Manufacture in Le Locle and the field of aviation date back to the 1950s in Switzerland, when Vulcain watches equipped pilots of the national airline company and subsequently found their way across the Atlantic. It was in 1960 that Captain Richard F. Cyr of the US Navy described his attachment to its timepiece “My small friend and I have managed to survive most everything together (…) I am reluctant to let the ordinary jeweler touch it”.

Vulcain accordingly decided to dedicate a full-fledged collection to these knights of the sky: the “Aviator” range.

In a nod to aviation, it features a seconds counter reminiscent of the “Alarm Flag” appearing on radio altimeter cockpit instruments. Reinforcing the dynamic design of this model, the oscillating weight has been openworked to provide a glimpse of the movement.
