ULYSSE NARDIN
MARINE TORPILLEUR MILITARY
New to the Marine line, the Marine Torpilleur Military features the same in-house movement as the Marine Chronometer, the UN-118, which uses the proprietary silicon anchor escapement and boasts both COSC certification and Ulysse Nardin’ s own designation. A small seconds function at 6 o’ clock is complemented by a red serial number, which reveals the timepiece’ s place as one of only 300 in this limited edition.
The dial comes in eggshell white with outlined Arabic numerals or black with orange Arabic numerals, and the former comes on a tan leather strap while the latter is on a black leather strap with orange stitching. The 44mm stainless steel case has a fluted bezel and screw-down security crown and it is water resistant to 50 meters. Price:($ 7,900).
MARINE TOURBILLON BLUE GRAND FEU
Also new to the Marine line, the Marine Tourbillon Blue Grand Feu combines technical expertise with artisanal flair, and as its name suggests, it features a stunning blue dial crafted in grand feu enamel at Ulysse Nardin’ s own Donzé Cadrans atelier. The 43mm stainless steel watch is driven by the UN-128 self-winding movement, with a 60-seconds flying tourbillon evident at 6 o’ clock and a power reserve of about 60 hours indicated at 12 o’ clock. Water resistant to 100 meters, the Marine Tourbillon Grand Feu is fitted on an alligator strap. Price: $ 28,000
CLASSICO MANUFACTURE GRAND FEU
In another feat of watchmaking artistry, the Classico Manufacture Grand Feu features a deep black or snowy white grand feu enamel dial with white or black Roman numerals, respectively, and small seconds at 6 o’ clock; both are crafted at Donzé Cadrans. This 40mm stainless steel watch is driven by the self-winding UN-320 manufacture movement, which allows for rapid date correction forward and backward and has a power reserve of about 48 hours. The watch is fitted on a leather strap. Price: $ 8,800
