Vulcain Grand Prix - Small Second Purple Limited Edition

Vulcain elevates its Grand Prix model—celebrating the prestigious award won in 1929 at the Barcelona International Exhibition—with a striking new aubergine hue.

This deep, mysterious shade brings a fresh brilliance to the collection through two exquisite versions: a limited edition of just 25 pieces with a refined silver sub-dial, and a fully “purple” version for a bold statement.

A curated selection of straps in diverse colors and textures completes the ensemble, allowing each wearer to express their unique style with sophistication.

Vintage Charm Meets Modern Design

With its brushed/polished steel case, the Grand Prix offers a balanced, sophisticated aesthetic. Its domed dial – in purple with a semi-glossy sunray finish – is enhanced by polished hour markers, adding a touch of timeless refinement that catches the eye.

With a diameter of 39mm and a thickness of 12.70mm, the watch is perfectly balanced. A vintage touch: the Grand Prix is equipped with a double-dome sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, ensuring optimal legibility. It is water-resistant to 5 ATM or 50 meters, underscoring its versatility, not just in formal settings.

The choice of purple or black leather strap with topstitching adds a touch of subtle style. The watch is powered by a Landeron L24 Swiss automatic movement for exceptional precision with a 40-hour power reserve.

Timeless Design, Modern Elegance

The Vulcain Grand Prix 39mm embodies elegance in its purest form. Slim and uncluttered, it tells time in the same manner, with precision both in terms of looks and functionality. Equipped with a Swiss Landeron automatic movement, the time-only watch features a domed crystal over a domed dial in true vintage style – details that place the Grand Prix squarely in the sights of those who appreciate refined watches. Its classic design and versatility make it the perfect complement to carefully curated outfits: double-breasted blazer, loafers, rakish scarf, Vulcain Grand Prix. The detail that makes the outfit perfect, anytime, anywhere.

The Birth of Grand Prix Petite Seconde

The Grand Prix Small Second was born out of Vulcain's dedication to blending heritage and modernity. Paying tribute to the watch that earned the prestigious Grand Prix at the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition, this new model reimagines an iconic piece of horological history. Featuring a refined small second display at 6 o’clock—an homage to Vulcain’s vintage designs from the 1950s and 60s—it masterfully combines timeless aesthetics with contemporary precision.
