ULYSSE NARDIN ASSISTS DISABLED VETERANS
U
LYSSE NARDIN HAS PARTNERED WITH the non-profit One More Wave to
introduce a limited edition Diver Deep Dive honoring the organization, which helps
wounded or disabled veterans with surf therapy by providing customized surfing
equipment and assistance.
In addition to a financial contribution, Ulysse Nardin launches the Diver Deep Dive One More
Wave, a 46 black DLC titanium-cased timepiece ($13,500) with yellow accents, decompression
valve at 9 o’clock, crown at 2 o’clock, extension bracelet and 1,000 meters of water resistance. The
case-back is engraved with the “One More Wave” logo to signify the partnership.
“We really needed the watch that could stand up to the conditions and pressures in the surf
and sand,” says Kyle Buckett (above, right), managing director of One More Wave. “The watch is
tough, very easy to read and the titanium case keeps it lightweight.”
One More Wave was founded among the U.S. Navy SEALS community in 2015, and the
non-profit operates a custom surfboard workshop to make boards that meet each veteran’s
specific needs, including choice of design as well as being fit for specific disabilities. Buckett notes
that the organization’s needs are greater than ever, with fifty-seven applications just last month.
François-Xavier Hotier, president of Ulysse Nardin Americas, explains that he was so impressed
by his experiences while visiting One More Wave and the U.S Navy SEAL Training Camp in
Coronado, California, that he was convinced right away that Ulysse Nardin needed to partner with
the organization.
“Their dedication, courage, and camaraderie is inspiring and we hope to bring more awareness
to this important work,” he adds. For more information, or to make a donation, please visit
