Carbonium ®, a light and resistant technical composite , tops the barrel cover and the unidirectional rotating bezel for measuring immersion times . Its UN-372 Manufacture calibre stands out for its reliability and accuracy and is fitted with an extra-large oscillator and a silicon escapement wheel , anchor and balance-spring , all produced in-house , which is rare in watchmaking . Silicon , which was used for the first time in watchmaking by Ulysse Nardin in the Freak in 2001 , has a number of exceptional properties , such as anti-magnetism and resistance to oxidation and deforming , which improve the accuracy and reliability of its timekeeping . With the blue extending onto the crown protector and rubber strap , there can be no doubt that the new Diver X Skeleton Azure fearlessly dares to explore as yet uncharted waters .
