ALL Original - B\u0026P","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWatch Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a refined Vulcain 50s Presidents' Classic automatic wristwatch, reference 560156, presented as a complete set with its original double box and papers.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Presidents’ Classic” line draws inspiration from Vulcain’s historic association with U.S. presidents — most notably the Vulcain Cricket, a mechanical alarm watch first gifted to President Harry S. Truman in 1953 by the White House Press Photographers Association.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing this, the Cricket became closely associated with the White House and was worn by several U.S. presidents, including Dwight D. Eisenhower and Lyndon B. Johnson, earning Vulcain its well-known nickname: “The Watch for Presidents.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model carries that legacy forward with a clean, mid-century inspired design and a modern automatic movement, blending classic styling with the heritage Vulcain is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePowered by the Vulcain automatic caliber V-56, featuring 25 jewels, a sweep seconds hand, and a date display at 6 o’clock. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers an approximate power reserve of 42 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegant sunburst gray dial is accented by applied Arabic numerals at 12, 3, and 9, with stick hour markers, a precise minute track, and matching silver-tone hands. The layout is clean, balanced, and highly legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a 42mm stainless steel case with sapphire crystal and an exhibition caseback, allowing a view of the movement. It is paired with its original black Vulcain leather strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFully inspected and authenticated by our in-house watchmaker, this timepiece is running properly and ready to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc;
