Explore the limited-edition Vulcain Skindiver Nautique Salmon Dial. Discover its 38mm case, ETA 2824 movement, and vintage diver aesthetics. A collector's review.

Nicolas (amanico) introduces the limited-edition Vulcain Skindiver Nautique with a striking salmon dial, a release that expands on the black and blue versions. His detailed examination highlights the watch's compelling case design, robust specifications, and accessible price point, inviting collectors to consider its place in the competitive diver watch segment.

Do you remember a couple of months ago, we saw the new Vulcain Skindiver Nautique unveiled, with a black or a blue dial.

Here comes the Salmon dialed version, limited to 50 pieces.

What I really like with the Skindiver is its case, with its beveled lugs, its brushed steel finish, and its dimensions: 38 mm big, 12, 2 mm high, water resistant to 200 meters. The unidirectional bezel insert in in ceramic, the sapphire is bombed and cherry on the cake, we have the good old ETA 2824 automatic movement beating inside!

The beveled lugs:

A nice profile, due to a case with good dimensions. You can also appreciate the domed sapphire glass:

The strap is less my taste, with its carbon decoration on leather. The pin buckle is very retro, which is another lovely detail. And signed.

But for the rest, what's not to love? Even the price is reasonable: 1514 Euros.

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The Vulcain Skindiver Nautique's aesthetic shares a similar vintage-inspired diver watch appeal with models like the Oris Divers Sixty-Five, suggesting a common design language within the segment.
While the post states the salmon dial is limited to 50 pieces, a check of the Vulcain website indicates that other limited editions are explicitly numbered, but this specific model's limitation is not always clearly stated on their official product pages.
The watch represents a strong value proposition, offering a well-executed design and reliable ETA 2824 movement at a reasonable price point, making it an attractive option for daily wear.

I like the case

But the dial looks more guava than salmon to me!

Very nice 👌👍

Though it does give me similar vibes to an Oris 65, though I guess they're swimming in the same pool! Cheers JML
