The new CRICKET is available in 2 different versions, CLASSIQUE (printed indexes) and TRADITION (applied indexes). Both versions are available in 36mm and 39mm. The Classique are in 4 different dials, salmon, brown and black khaki lume, black white lume. The Tradition are in 4 different dials, salmon, eggshell and black gold indexes, black with silver indexes. All the version are available with solid or sapphire case back.
@Yorkiepoocharlie I just like them, I don't work in the watch industry (I'm a bartender), I don't own one but I'm looking to get one. I'm going to check the new one soon as it gets to the store but I also watching how low will get the previous model (I like the 39mm with Arabic indexes) and also I'm thinking that may I have the same result with a fraction of the money getting one from the 70's with shaped case. I've been study vintage shaped cases Vulcans's references lately to get a better idea of what I should look for.
@Yorkiepoocharlie When a product gets my attention, I like to study it to see if it's a good product, that's why I have a lot information about Vulcain, has been a few years that I want one.
@@mrbluecatone It's unfortunate that you even had to explain yourself to some random who implied that you had a secret affiliation with the company. Hope you enjoy the watch, buddy. 👍
@@theaussiewhinger Thanks for your kind words, I did not felt bad about explain myself and I understand, with all the infos I gave, I sound like someone affiliated to Vulcain.
I would love to own one vintage and one modern Cricket! Legendary watches. Guillaume is killing it with all of his watch companies portfolio! Will be a force and important person in years to come.
Just get a full Hollywood production team and a studio to film in. It drives me nuts that these small UA-cam videos aren’t filmed with the same care as Peter jackson lord of the rings trilogy.
@@Not-a-bot222 Well isn't this meant to be one of the most reputable watch media outlets? I would expect a $50 mic so we can actually hear them properly. It's not rocket science.
The previous CRICKET where about 6-7000, if I remember correctly. They where available in 42mm and 39mm. You can still find NOS for less than the new just came out.
Sorry, you are incorrect about how you wind the watch! All the Cal.120, the V10 and all the other modern Vulcain calibers have a SWIVEL RATCHET, clockwise the swivel ratchet engage with the alarm barrel gear, counter clockwise the swivel ratchet engage with the watch barrel gear. You can get a confirmation of what I'm saying on the official website.
My first luxury watch was a rose gold cricket president’s watch. It was 42mm and I sold it because it was a bit to big and bulky for my wrist, otherwise a beautiful watch. Is it only going to be 36 or will they have any other offerings between 37 and 40mm?
Nice Watch! Is it possible to set the Alarmhand without triggering the Alarm? Let’s say I want to set it to the minute hand and check in a few minutes the elapsed time?
I'm not sure if I understand the question, what I can tell you, from what I know, the alarm hand move only with the crown so it stays where you set it. You can set the alarm but if you don't have the pusher in the alarm is not going off.
I have a Tudor Advisor which is their alarm watch. Easy to set the alarm. Alarm is wound separately from the clock and has its own power reserve indicator so you know when it's at full power.
@@davidc5191I believe the modern Tudor Advisor use a more common A. Schild automatic caliber used by several companies. The vintage one use a single barrell manual movement also used by others.
Because you get a new watch, which means you can choose dial, case size, and case back, you have a new caliber made with new technology and 2 year warranty, no faded lume or dial, no scratched or polished case, all original parts. Saying that I'm considering to buy a ref S2325B or S2321B which are shaped cases from the 70's

A wrist watch shot is the only thing missing (incredibly) to make this one of the best watch reviews of all time.

Great content mate 🥃
Amazing release! And so many options!
Can you guys get a dedicated mic? pretty echoey
Does not sound bad to me
Just get a full Hollywood production team and a studio to film in. It drives me nuts that these small UA-cam videos aren’t filmed with the same care as Peter jackson lord of the rings trilogy.

Ha that alarm sound, the cricket name is really apt.
You should listen to the older cal 120 crickets. Those really sound like a cricket.
That is bad ass
Wow that looks great. A little out of budget for me though. Might snag one of their chronos but they seem a little pricey for what you get.

You can as long as the alarm is not wound up
Perfect 36mm
Also available in 39mm, 4 different dials, a choice of solid or sapphire back case.
the benrus wrist alarm is better
A more subtle monopusher with that case design would have got me parting with my money........
Cool watch but prefer the one WK is wearing
Tudor has an alarm watch also, will you consider a comparison with that one?

TAKE MY MONEY
The originals are £500-£2000 why would you spend £3500 on the new one?
Because it's new
@@Enrico- Yeah but the original............fair enough, it is pretty.

First
Seiko Bell-matic is still the best value alarm watch ever!
Yes and no.
