New From Vulcain: Cricket Anniversary Heart Calendar and Nautical Heritage LE
Vulcain is introducing two new watches: an 18k rose gold Cricket Anniversary Heart Automatic Calendar, and a Nautical Heritage Limited Edition that celebrates the 50th anniversary of a historical dive watch with mechanical alarm. Find details and prices inside. For 2011 Vulcain presents the Anniversary Heart Automatic Calendar in a 42mm 18k rose gold case. The anthracite metallic sapphire dial provides a view of the 257-part Cricket Calibre V-22 from the manufacture in Le Locle. A cut-out reveals the date at 6 o’clock. This latest version of the Cricket alarm movement is equipped with two barrels: one to powers the timekeeping functions, and the other the alarm, which rings for a full 15-20 seconds. The escapement ticks at a classic 18,000 vibrations per hour. The unidirectional oscillating weight is fitted with a ceramic ball bearing mechanism, and the movement is visible through a sapphire caseback.Additional information appears at the end of this article.The Anniversary Heart

Help identifying this vintage Omega Seamaster
It is a family watch that has completely broken now; the hands are not moving and has not for 15 years. According to the family member who owned it, once he saw the crystal fog up from the inside, which leads me to believe there was water damage. The bracelet is not original I believe. I'd appreciate any information regarding this price, such as possible calibre, model number, and history. Thanks all.

Thinking of picking up a blue rubber strap for my seamaster, thought it might be a nice change of pace, a little more sporty, etc...Does anyone have a recommendation on where to pick one up? Thanks guys!
