The Vulcain Monopusher Heritage Green and Turquoise takes inspiration from Vulcain’s mid-20th-century chronographs. Specifically, its 1950s models that held a prominent place in the world of horology and sports.

Known for its connection to Real Madrid in the 1930s, Vulcain leveraged its expertise to become the team’s official timekeeper. They were timing training drills and match moments. This new Monopusher Heritage model preserves the classic aesthetic of its predecessors while introducing modern and colorful refinements.

The Real Madrid connection

The grandson of one of the Vulcain founders is André Didisheim, who also works for the brand. According to the story, he moved to Spain in 1907 to learn Spanish to prepare the brand to expand to South America. When in Spain he also started playing football and was apparently good enough to join Real Madrid at the time. Read our story about the Vulcain Cricket André “Didixein” Ditisheim for more information. As that model is dedicated to Ditisheim.

This new Monopusher Heritage, now available in green and turquoise, honors Vulcain’s sports heritage and tradition in timekeeping. It comes in a modest 39-millimeter case, ensuring it feels comfortable on the wrist.

Bright dials

Its dial design draws heavily on the original model’s features, including polished silver numerals and hour markers that evoke the watch’s historic roots. An engraved pulsometer scale—originally used by medical professionals for checking pulses—is a key functional and stylistic feature. Furthermore, a small sub dial for the running seconds at 9 and a 30-minute totalizer at 3.

This chronograph’s case is made of stainless steel, with a green or turquoise dial, enhanced by a sunburst effect. For sure, it stands out with these vibrant colors, adding a modern twist to this heritage-inspired timepiece.

The Vulcain Monopusher Heritage Green and Turquoise has a power reserve of 63 hours

Inside the Vulcain Monopusher Heritage Green and Turquoise beats the Sellita caliber SW510 M MP b. This manually wound movement has gained respect in horology for its reliability and robust construction, with a power reserve of 63 hours.

Its manual winding mechanism plus the mono-pusher operation pays homage to classic watchmaking. Unfortunately, you cannot see any finish of the movement as the case back is closed. And engraved with a rather dull marketing line saying, “sold the world over since 1858”.

Pricing of the Vulcain Monopusher Heritage

Completing the look, the watches come with many matching strap options. It is difficult to choose online so check the width of the strap compared to straps you already have that look good on your wrist.

The price tag of this Vulcain Monopusher Heritage is around 3 to 3.5k which is fair when looking at competitors. Think Longines’ Record Heritage series or Hamilton’s Intra-Matic chronographs, providing an accessible entry point into mechanical chronographs with historical design.
