A pusher at 2 o’clock triggers the alarm, while a screw-lock crown at 4 o’clock serves to adjust the 24-hour worldtimer function. It is fitted with a triple case-back acting as a resonance chamber and diffusing the sound of the alarm for a full 20 seconds. The satin-brushed 42 mm-diameter steel case features a cambered glare-proofed sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to 100 metres. This manually-wound twin-barrel movement, equipped with the Exactomatic system ensuring regular amplitude and thus optimal precision, is endowed with a 42-hour power reserve. The latter enables the user to read off on the rotating inner bezel ring the specific time in the cities representing all 24 time zones. This movement exclusive to the brand combines the famous alarm that has punctuated Vulcain’s finest hours since 1947 with a worldtimer function.

Its name is the Aviator GMT Pilot, and because high standards and performance go hand in hand for these professionals, the Vulcain Cricket V-10 was a natural choice as the movement powering this wristworn flight instrument. This line featuring a blend of style and performance now welcomes a new model capable of appearing in both vintage and contemporary versions.

Since then, Vulcain has dedicated a full-fledged Aviator collection to cater need of the pilots. The already legendary alarm calibre circled the globe in all directions as the loyal companions of aircraft captains, reminding them with its inimitable audible signal that it was time to perform certain gestures at critical moments, as well as showing them the local time in their destinations anywhere in the world thanks to the worldtimer function. The story begins in the 1950s, when two flagships of Swiss industry crossed paths as the Swissair Airline Company decided to equip all its pilots with a Cricket watch by Vulcain.

Boosting its famous Cricket alarm movement with a 24-hour worldtime display Swiss watch manufacture Vulcain launches the Aviator GMT Pilot model –an exceptional wrist-worn mechanical instrument dedicated to flyers.
