This 1950s Vulcain Cricket Ref. 412501 features a 34mm unpolished stainless steel case paired with a unique silverburst dial that plays dynamically in changing light. The dial layout includes gold dagger hour and minute hands, a silver alarm pointer, and a red seconds hand that adds a pop of contrast. Gold deltoid (diamond-shaped) hour markers give a touch of elegance to this otherwise practical tool-watch. Notably, the dial bears the rare “Waterproof” text—a highly sought-after detail among Cricket collectors.

Powered by the Vulcain Caliber 120, a 17-jewel manual wind movement with mechanical alarm function, this watch was just serviced in March 2025 and is running well. The signature alarm maintains a steady, even tone.

The case shows signs of wear and scratches consistent with age but appears unpolished, preserving its original shape and lines.

Paired with a Hirsch leather strap, this Cricket is a strong example of one of the most iconic mechanical alarm watches of the 20th century.
