Ulysse Nardin Limited Edition Ocean Race Dive Chronograph

Ulysse Nardin Limited Edition Ocean Race Dive Chronograph

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Ocean Race, Ulysse Nardin fake has launched a special limited edition chronograph called Ocean Race Diver Chronograph. Unveiled ahead of the Newport Incoming Race, this timepiece not only serves as the official timekeeper of the event, but also pays homage to the spirit of adventure, shared love of the sea and commitment to protecting the Athenian watch and the ocean race.

This chronograph has a 44mm sandblasted black DLC titanium case with a unidirectional rotating bezel and Carbonium® finish. The bezel features upcycled fibers from aircraft fuselage trim, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to environmental sustainability. luxury fake watches

This watch exudes a cool and sporty vibe with its electric blue, white and black color scheme. The black sandblasted dial has rhodium-plated hour markers and hands, all coated with Super-LumiNova. It also includes sub-counters at 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock. The self-winding UN-150 chronograph movement can be seen through the open case back and is water-resistant to 300 meters. The sapphire caseback and the ceramic parts of the rubber strap are embossed with the “50” signature.

Patrick Pruniaux, CEO of Ulysse Nardin, expressed his enthusiasm for the launch, saying: “The new Diver watch celebrates this legendary regatta, its commitment to protecting the marine environment, and the research and development that Ulysse Nardin fake watches for sale is proud to support. Ocean Conservation Project.”

What kind of experience is it to wear the great white shark in the deep sea?

We all know that Ulysse Nardin copy watches started from sailing. In the early days of the brand, they were famous for creating high-quality marine astronomical clocks. Today, the deep relationship between Ulysse Nardin and the ocean can be continued in Ulysse Nardin’s traditional and classic nautical MARINE series and diving watch DIVER series. As a symbol of the ocean, sharks have naturally become an important design element of Ulysse Nardin watches. In the past, diving watches with sharks as the theme were launched almost every year. Last year’s new product was the DIVER diving series chronograph watch “Great White Shark”. Limited edition, today let us once again take a look at this watch through real photos. (Watch model: 1503-170LE-1A-GW/3B)

The size of this Great White Shark watch is 44 mm. Although it is relatively large, because the watch is made of titanium, it has its own lightness and the excellent ergonomic design of Ulysse Nardin. Not only is it not very demanding on the wrist , but also a very comfortable wearing experience.

The screw-in crown on the other side is tightly protected by the shoulder guard design to prevent accidental collisions underwater and cause water to open. The upper and lower timing buttons are also designed with a lock handle. To perform timing, you need to open the lock handle before operating. As for the titanium shell, Ulysse Nardin has done a brushed finish for it.

This diver’s watch draws inspiration directly from the white-gray back and belly of the great white shark. When we look at the theme color of the watch, we restore the main color of white to match the gray dial and the silver-gray luster of the titanium case. And like the diving bezel, it also uses a white rubber rotating bezel with a record pattern, which is common in Athens diving watches.

The gray dial is not only embellished with blue and white elements, but also adds a sense of refreshment to the watch. At the same time, Ulysse Nardin has made a very fine grain texture effect for the gray dial, which is reminiscent of the great white shark with teeth. Scaly skin. As a diving watch with a chronograph function, it adopts a three-eye layout, and the sub-dial at 6 o’clock has a built-in round date window.

As a professional diving tool, we can see that this great white shark performs very well in terms of the necessary clarity and readability. You can see that the hands, time scales, and the starting position of the bezel at 0 o’clock are all coated with light blue Color Super-LumiNova™ luminous coating.

The bottom cover of the watch is engraved with the pattern of the great white shark. Compared with the previous special editions such as the blue shark, hammerhead shark, and lemon shark, the great white shark is definitely the most ferocious bottom cover design in the shark series. Under the bottom cover, Ulysse Nardin is equipped with a UN-150 self-winding movement, equipped with a silicon escapement device, which is accurate and reliable. The full chain can provide a 48-hour power reserve. Its performance is excellent, but some watch friends may I don’t know much about the UN-150 movement. In fact, this movement has a great background and has an interesting history. In fact, it was purchased from Ebel. If we go back to the source, the original version of the movement is the Lemania 1340 automatic timing In theory, it has the same origin as the Breguet 582 movement. Regarding the content of this movement, if there is a chance in the future, I will give you a detailed introduction again. fashion replica watches

The watch is equipped with a white rubber strap, which distinguishes two buckle styles, namely pin buckle and folding buckle. The tape of Athens is very comfortable, whether in terms of covering or softness. I often tell everyone that I like it very much. The rubber strap of the Ulysse Nardin diving watch is connected to the lugs. The extra link piece design is equivalent to an extra extension surface to touch your wrist, so that you can actually experience it with your hands, so that it can be well compatible with different sizes of wrist circumference.

Ulysse Nardin, the great white shark, has been introduced to watch friends. I once talked about this watch with you, saying that it actually shows the mature use and matching of colors in Athens, which makes the great white shark both sporty and elegant. It has a stylish style, making it not only suitable for professional underwater adventures within 300 meters of water resistance, but also suitable for daily wear. review cheap watch

Twenty-two years of fantasy, the new FREAK series of Ulysse Nardin Watch comes out

In 2001, with the birth of FREAK fantasy, Ulysse Nardin Watch created the silicon era in the field of watches and clocks. At the same time, Ulysse Nardin also used silicon parts and carrousel devices to run through the aesthetic and mechanical core of the entire FREAK fantasy series. Here comes a highly recognizable design.

At the just-concluded 2023 “Watches and Miracles” Geneva Watch Fair, in order to pay tribute to the first generation of fantasy 22 years ago, Ulysse Nardin decided to use it as a prototype to create a new FREAK ONE fantasy watch.

The new work continues the three iconic features of the fantasy buy replica watches: no dial, no hands, no crown design, but its appearance and performance hardware assembly, in fact, it has also achieved the highlights of new products in recent years.

Let’s look at the exterior design first. The case is made of black DLC-coated titanium and is equipped with a rose gold pitted bezel. This set is taken from the Freak S flagship watch released last year. On the dial, it inherits the nautical element design of the 2013 FREAK CRUISER. The entire carrousel strip-shaped anchor movement will be transformed into a minute hand, with a triangular hour arrow on the lower layer, and a newly added four-point Arabic numerals. Indicates the time.

In terms of performance, Ulysse Nardin has adopted a full set of silicon escapement for FREAK ONE, from the balance wheel to the escapement to the hairspring, all of which are made of silicon, and adopts DIAMonSIL diamond silicon crystal technology to make the silicon parts of the watch movement more wear-resistant and Anti-seismic, this is a demonstration of the technical strength of Ulysse Nardin. At the same time, the beating effect of the large-size silicon balance wheel will be particularly brisk and highly recognizable.

However, I think the most noteworthy point for watch friends is that FREAK ONE integrates a “grinder” automatic winding mechanism. It is also integrally formed of silicon parts, which can sensitively capture the subtle movements of the wearer and convert them into energy, which is twice the efficiency of the traditional winding structure.

FREAK ONE, can be said to be the most outstanding “integrator” of comprehensive technology in the current FREAK series. It also makes the grinding upper chain that was once only available on flagship models, and realizes the popularization of technology. The public price of the watch is 495,700 yuan, and it is sold in unlimited quantities. The 500,000 yuan level has also completely filled the vacancy of the flagship model FREAK S to the entry-level model FREAK X, the vacancy of the backbone products.

Ulysse Nardin El Toro GMT Permanent

As I mentioned in my previous article, Ulysse Nardin is one of my favorite brands. I’ve had several models in the past and I carry my Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Black Ocean with me on almost every occasion.

What we have here today is the Ulysse Nardin El Toro GMT Pepetual.

The 43mm diameter case is made of 18K solid gold. A Ulysse Nardin classic, the serial number plaque is attached to the right side of the case. The experimental design details that dominate the style of timepieces in general are also evident in the details of the case.

The lugs are designed to fit custom to the end of the strap. The slightly curved case form and high lug design perfectly balance the weight of the watch and provide great wearing comfort.

It appears that Ulysse Nardin has put a lot of effort into incorporating the GMT and perpetual calendar functions into a sporty case with a distinctive look. The most notable result of this work is the robust shell construction, which is rated WR100M, unlike common dress complications.

The fixed 24-hour bezel is engraved with gold-filled numerals at 12 o’clock and features a moon-shaped graphic. The bezel and pushers are made of blue ceramic.

The double-sided sapphire crystal provides an unobstructed view of the exquisite movement.

The independent dual time zone hands can be advanced or reversed by pressing a blue ceramic pusher located on the case. Each of these buttons has a plus or minus sign for easy access to independent dual time zone hands. The minus button is located directly below the winding crown at 4 o’clock, and the plus button is located directly under the serial number plate at 8 o’clock.

The dial form is a bit complicated. The lower part of the dial is designed with a T-shaped window, which mainly accommodates the GMT and perpetual calendar functions. While very unique, the design is certainly not for everyone. Interestingly, the Côtes de Genève decoration we are familiar with from the movement is used on the dial. The silver dial is perfectly matched with the blue tone, which is radiant with the help of Côtes de Genève. Large date-style date window at 1 o’clock with a blue-backed date disc. Large skeleton hands filled with SuperLuminova display are one of the unique design details.

The beating heart in the Ulysse Nardin El Toro GMT Perpetual is the patented perpetual calendar automatic movement UN-032, with quick settings for all perpetual calendar functions, local time/dual time mechanism, 34 jewels, and 45 hours of operation when fully wound Power reserve. The beautifully decorated movement is fully visible through the case back. The waterproof rating of the watch is 100M.

El Toro comes on an elegant blue alligator leather strap with an 18K solid gold deployant clasp. The leather strap feels a little stiff, but I’m sure it will break after a while of use.

I believe a rubber strap would suit the sporty look of this watch better than alligator leather.

When we saw the El Toro, we had a lot of positive details about the watch, like a super sporty perpetual calendar and 100M water resistance that lets you swim with it, and more. The brand itself is almost enough to buy a watch. However, I have one reason it’s not for everyone: design.

Such an experimental and boldly designed fashion watch cannot be suitable for the majority of watch lovers.

If you’re after a complicated watch that can be worn comfortably on a daily basis, and you’re good at bold designs and plenty of wrist presence, then the El Toro is for you. We recommend trying the rubber band version too when you stop for a coffee at the beautiful Quadran boutique.

ULYSSE NARDIN: Introducing the Marine Torpedo

Introducing the Marine Torpilleur, a lightweight, modern nautical timepiece for those who control their own destiny.

In the 19th century, when explorers roamed the oceans, the pocket timepiece was the captain’s watch, a sign of his status on shore and at sea. Ulysse Nardin’s pocket-sized chronometers are among the most coveted – prized by naval officers and merchant captains around the world. A vibrant nautical history has resulted in an iconic nautical chronometer, the ultimate expression of technical performance and beautiful design.

Now, there is a new generation of chronometers designed for the modern age: the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur.

Named after the small, fast boats of that early era, whose agility ensured they could easily outrun larger vessels, this is a timepiece for the contemporary explorer. The Marine Torpileur is a lighter, thinner version of the iconic Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer, designed for a younger, less formal age. Sure, it has a dynamic appeal, but it’s also backed by generations of craftsmanship and performance that loyal customers know they can expect from the Swiss watchmaker. Like the marine chronometer from which it was inspired, the Torpilleur is powered by an in-house self-winding UN-118 movement with the same 60-hour power reserve and proprietary silicon anchor escapement. Marine Torpileur is also COSC certified and meets the same exacting standards, allowing it to proudly receive the Ulysse Nardin Certificate of Performance.

The outstanding design is also evident on the dial, where the iconic features of the Marine collection are evident: Roman numeral hour markers and the iconic “1846” emblem with flashing red. While the elegant hands have the recognizable shape of a marine timepiece, they are also redesigned for the marine Torpilleur.

The small seconds at 6 o’clock surrounds the date window, and the 60-hour power reserve indicator is at 12 o’clock. fashion cheap watch

Sophisticated and modern logo. This is the new Marine Torpileur. Initially available in three different models and two different dials, in stainless steel and 18 karat rose gold. Three successful visions of our times that embody the modern spirit:

– 42mm Marine Torpilleur in 18 karat rose gold with white dial and leather strap with folding clasp.
Screw-down safety crown, sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 50 m.

– 42mm stainless steel Marine Torpilleur with white dial and leather strap with folding clasp.
Screw-down safety crown, sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 50 m.

– 42mm stainless steel case with blue dial and stainless steel bracelet. Screw-down safety crown, sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 50 m.

Absolutely modern, bold and brilliant, the Marine Torpilleur joins the outstanding Marine Collection Observatory collection.

It may have been designed for the city, but its heart — like every true adventurer — belongs to the sea.

Ulysse Nardin – Marine Chronograph Year Calendar

While integrating the annual calendar complication into a nautical chronograph, Ulysse Nardin’s main goal was to combine elegance with an easy-to-use solution.

The new Ulysse Nardin Nautical Chronograph Annual Calendar is actually very simple to use.

Between a perpetual calendar that requires no corrections before 2100 and a simple calendar that requires five manual adjustments a year, the annual calendar recognizes months of 30 and 31 days, with the exception of February. So it only needs to be corrected manually once a year.

Simplicity begins with the UN-153 movement. Ulysse Nardin’s watchmakers succeeded in reducing the annual calendar mechanism to a dozen add-ons, which on average required at least thirty elements. This movement requires only three additional wheels. The movement allows the time and date hands to move in either direction.

Made entirely in-house, including a silicon hairspring, this self-winding movement beats at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations/hour) and has a power reserve of approximately 52 hours. Shopping replica watches

In addition to the central hands indicating the hours, minutes and seconds, the dial – available in white or blue – features a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock and a continuous seconds counter at 6 o’clock 9:00. The latter also features a month display, thanks to a red hand that indicates the current month. Finally, the date is displayed in a circular aperture at 6 o’clock.

The design of the 43mm stainless steel case features elements typical of the Marine collection, including a ribbed bezel and a rubber-covered screw crown to ensure water resistance to 100 meters/330 feet.

The Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronograph Year Calendar is available with a folding clasp strap (rubber or alligator leather) or a steel bracelet.

Luxury with character This is a “fantasy cruiser”!

In the watchmaking industry, there is a very special watchmaking brand. It has 176 years of watchmaking history and is the “blue blood aristocrat” in the wholesale replica watch industry. But if you talk about the most daring and avant-garde brands in recent years, there must be It, this brand is Ulysse Nardin. How avant-garde is the Ulysse Nardin watch? Let’s talk about its Freak fantasy series.

The Ulysse Nardin Freak series features “no crown, no dial, no hands”, which subverts our traditional understanding of watches. Moreover, the first fantasy watch in 2001 also uses silicon material, creating a watchmaking world’s first. What we see today is the Freak Cruiser watch from the Freak collection. (Watch model: 2056-131)

The Freak Cruiser watch follows the important features of the Freak fantasy series and incorporates a nautical theme, equipped with a concave and convex wave bezel and a floating anchor-type moving bridge, which is quite cool.

The case is made of rose gold and finished with a polishing process to reveal a lustrous metallic luster. The case diameter is 45 mm.

The watch does not have a traditional crown, how to adjust the time? The Freak can set the time by setting a locking device at 6 o’clock, releasing the locking device and rotating the bezel.

The Freak fantasy series removes the dial and directly exposes the movement device on the movement splint. At the same time, using the operation principle of the Carrousel, the Carrousel device is used to replace the original pointer. The carrousel mechanism rotates once an hour, and the upper bridge in the shape of a hollow anchor can indicate the minutes, and the lower bridge indicates the hours.

We can clearly see the escapement part. The Ulysse Nardin fake uses a two-way escapement, which transmits power to the balance wheel through two silicon escapement wheels. Due to the lightness, antimagnetic and low friction characteristics of the silicon material itself, It reduces friction and eliminates the need to oil the movement.

The movement uses the UN-205 manual winding movement, which has a power reserve of up to 7 days. The back of the watch is engraved with a wave pattern, and there is also a window where we can see the tension of the mainspring and wind the watch in time.

The watch is paired with a brown leather strap and rose gold clasp.

Freak Cruiser fantasy cruiser watch, in the name of the ocean, is imaginative. The Ulysse Nardin Freak series is of great significance to the watchmaking industry. It is not only the first brand to step into the world of silicon materials, but also dares to subvert the tradition and establish the rules of a new world. This spirit can promote traditional watchmaking in the high-tech world. Moving forward in the world, we not only pursue historical heritage and classic traditions, but also pursue innovation and individuality. replica watch wholesale

Aftertaste of the classics Tasting the Ulysse Nardin Nautical Series Grand Feu Enamel Tourbillon Watch

Watchers are all too familiar with the Ulysse Nardin luxury watch‘s connection with navigation. In the 19th century, a marine astronomical chronometer was created for the explorers who braved the ocean. Following this origin, the brand also gave birth to the nautical series wristwatch. surface. Some time ago, the Watch House also photographed a representative work of the nautical series, which incorporates the Grand Feu enamel craftsmanship and the style of the tourbillon with large complex functions. Today, I will take real pictures to bring watch friends to reminisce about this classic. wrist watch.

This Nautical Grand Feu enamel tourbillon watch was launched at the 2017 Geneva Watch Fair. It has been 5 years since then. At that time, this watch featured three self-produced technical highlights, namely artistic craftsmanship, complex movement, avant-garde Technology, so this nautical watch, it can also be said that Athens has integrated the core watchmaking concepts.

The watch is made of stainless steel, and the stainless steel bezel also has a coin pattern design on the side. The size is 43 mm and the thickness is 12 mm, which is slightly larger, but the thickness is properly controlled. The shell is mainly decorated with polishing process, and the left side also retains the design of the Athens classic nameplate, and the independent number of the watch will be engraved on the top. cheap replica watches

The screw-in crown on the left side is engraved with the brand anchor logo on the top, and the whole body is covered with rubber to increase friction, which is convenient for the wearer to grasp and adjust the winding. There are also crown shoulder guards on both sides. .

The white Grand Feu enamel plate of this watch comes from the Donzé Cadrans workshop. Ulysse Nardin has been working closely with this independent enamel workshop in Le Locle, Switzerland, and acquired the enamel directly in 2011. The workshop has continued to innovate and optimize this extremely complex process.

As one of the representative arts of Athens, enamel technology is relatively basic. Although it is not as sophisticated as cloisonné enamel and micro-painted enamel, it is still very difficult to ensure its pure effect. From the real pictures, the effect of this watch is indeed pure white and flawless, combined with a bit of gem-like gloss, showing a simple and elegant beauty. The dial layout of the fake watch inherits the design of the brand's early marine astronomical clock, which is very recognizable. The combination of the track scale, Roman numeral hour markers and hands is also very retro. 12 o'clock is the power reserve display. The power reserve is very important for the navigation clock, and the clock cannot be stopped. Therefore, when the power reserve is insufficient during sailing, it is necessary to find and replenish it in time to ensure accurate travel time.

At 6 o’clock, the tourbillon produced by Athens itself makes one revolution in 60 seconds. Compared with the traditional tourbillon, the flying tourbillon does not block the front and cancels the upper bracket. The visual effect of the operation is more beautiful and the viewing experience is higher. On this picture, it can also be clearly seen that the silicon parts used by Athens for it, silicon is the last of the three self-produced highlights mentioned at the beginning.

As a watch series representing the origin of the connection between Athens and the sea, nautical elements are naturally everywhere. Through the back transparent design, you can clearly appreciate the double anchor hollow oscillating weight of this UN-128 movement, and the movement is also fully integrated. Embellished with circular Côtes de Genève, brushed, with fish scales on the invisible base. The movement is equipped with a silicon escapement and hairspring made in Athens, and a full chain can provide 60 hours of power reserve.

The watch is equipped with a black leather strap with a stainless steel folding clasp, and Athens also provides a tape option for the watch.

This nautical tourbillon is actually compared with the new design of the 175th anniversary. Although the design is the same style, you will find that the 175th anniversary represents a purely traditional watchmaking style. Type lugs, crown shoulder pads, transparent back and 100-meter waterproof performance, even the screw-in crown is covered with rubber, and rubber strap styles are also available. These diverse elements will be more like luxury sports. The fake luxury watches can take into account sports, leisure and formal wear at the same time, which is very versatile. Enamel and flying tuo is a combination that you can never get tired of seeing. Although the size is 43 mm, the thickness is properly controlled. My wrist circumference of 16.5 is actually very good.

Ocean Race Diver

Ulysse Nardin fake is accelerating the use of innovative alternative materials and announces the first DIVER model composed primarily of recycled fishing nets

Ulysse Nardin and The Ocean Race have witnessed their shared commitment, fulfilled with THE OCEAN RACE DIVER, which will become the official timekeeper for the high seas sailing race scheduled to begin on 15 January 2023 from Alicante, Spain. Eco-friendly watchmaking creations, two partners pledge to protect the oceans and begin the countdown to positive results by 2030.

Ocean Race Diver: From the ocean, for the ocean
The beginning of a new era for Ulysse Nardin. Since 1846, the Swiss watchmaker has been making marine chronometers of unrivaled reliability for explorers. Today’s navigators inevitably face plastic pollution, with 5 trillion pieces floating at sea. Fishing nets (mainly made of polyamide) are one of the main sources of this marine plastic pollution: as much as 640,000 metric tons are lost or discarded each year (UN), adding to the 9 million metric tons of plastic released into the sea (Science).

“How can we turn some of these plastics into luxury goods? With the help of start-ups such as FIL&FAB, we have successfully manufactured and sold watches made from recycled fishing nets,” said Ulysse Nardin CEO Patrick Pruniaux.

Peter Thomson, UN special envoy for the oceans, praised the effort during a session at the IUCN World Congress in Marseille in September 2021: “Drift nets are a huge part of the plastic pollution problem. They are harmful to marine life such as corals and sea turtles. Extremely destructive. The fact that you are upgrading them is a positive because there are so many of them in the ocean.”

“The way we make people aware of the problem is by upcycling. Finding suppliers is a key factor in this process,” Patrick Pruniaux confirms. review replica watches

In September 2020, Ulysse Nardin marks its first milestone in its commitment to a circular economy that supports the oceans, with the launch of the R-STRAP wristband, made entirely from recycled fishing nets that can be used with MARINE, DIVER and FREAK X watch. Then in November 2020, the brand launched the DIVER NET, an experimental concept watch in which every element has been designed with durability in mind and is as environmentally friendly as possible. A completely innovative and upgraded watch. Two significant positive developments for the brand and the watchmaking industry.

From design projects to commercialized objects

Always keep your promises…
The brand had promised to move quickly from concept to marketing. In June 2022, a diver’s watch made from recycled fishing nets will be the first sustainable luxury watch to hit the market in a limited edition of 200 pieces. It confirms the global upcycling trend that the luxury industry has already adopted by the high fashion industry. The goal is to raise awareness through “trade-ins” and recycled materials, especially plastics. With this web regeneration movement, Ulysse Nardin is finally making the transition to a circular economy. Thanks to the work of the French start-up FIL&FAB, the brand has thus focused on “less noble” materials enhanced by the method of the “100% Manufacture” watchmaker,

Features of the watch
The designers of Ulysse Nardin have meticulously decorated this watch, which is water-resistant to 300 meters and embellished with bright green, a reflection of nature. These are everywhere: from the stitching on the strap to the hour markers and bezel, including the “Double X” logo on the dial, the power reserve indicator at noon, the small seconds at 6 o’clock, the etched Ulysse Nardin logo on the crown, Crown protector and separate bridge. The combination of white, grey and black completes the watch’s palette, echoing the rhythm of the Manufacture’s signature movement, UN-118, which uses silicon technology.

95% of the components of this movement are sourced within a 30km radius of the watchmaking factory, half of which come from recycled sources (especially recycled steel and brass: 100% of Ulysse Nardin’s movements use recycled brass). The OCEAN RACE DIVER embodies innovation and tradition as its movement retains its historic know-how. The movement of a watch of this quality is inherently a sustainable product because it relies on the power of the wrist to work.

The dial is softer than the DIVER NET concept, even if it still has obvious parenthood: the white U and N initials in the oversized capitals have disappeared to make way for a neutral textured anthracite (ruthenium) finish. The iconic double X remains In its place, it is printed on the dial in a semi-matte, semi-satin finish. The sapphire crystal on the caseback features the white logo of brand partner The Ocean Race.

Border trim in Carbonium® design
The unidirectional bezel is completely decorated with Carbonium® (Lavoisier composite). Carbonium® is made from the same fibers used in the fuselage and wings of the latest generation of aircraft. Carbonium® is manufactured with a 40% lower environmental impact than other carbon composite materials because it utilizes offcuts from aircraft parts. Made using a complex process at high temperature and pressure, Carbonium® is a high-performance material that reveals the inherent beauty of organic patterns formed from carbon fibers as small as 7 µm in diameter. The use of this recycled material once again clearly underlines the brand’s bold and innovative spirit. In fact, Ulysse Nardin 2019 is the first watchmaking brand to use this new material in a fake watches for sale.

The case is designed with two main materials: Nylo® + Carbonium® (60% + 40%) and at least 80-85% recycled steel
The side case and case back of the 44mm THE OCEAN RACE DIVER are the result of an interesting combination of materials: 40% Carbonium® (Lavoisier composite) and 60% polyamide, Nylo® (FIL&FAB), recycled from fishing nets. Ulysse Nardin trusts the young Breton designers who created the first fishing net recycling business in France. FIL&FAB, a start-up in the field of industrial design and transformation, recycles discarded fishing nets in French fishing ports and recycles them in the form of polyamide pellets called Nylo®.

Building on this virtuous cycle of 360° circular escalation, Ulysse Nardin’s engineering office team took their eco-responsible approach a step further and opted for a recycled steel for some of the case components, at least for the case back. 80% is recycled. The brand’s supplier, Voestalpine Boehler’s renowned Austrian steel mill, has embarked on a process of comprehensive sustainable transformation and is actively committed to supplying watchmaking customers with very high-quality steel, guaranteed recycling, and soon guaranteed upcycling. As a result, 80% to 85% of the steel that is partially trimmed in THE OCEAN RACE DIVER is recycled from steel recycling channels in the automotive industry.

Ulysse Nardin Skeleton X Magma

It’s rare for a new watch to get an immediate nickname when it comes out. I will continue to call it “Darth Maul®”. The Skeleton X Magma‘s flowing lines of red and black are reminiscent of the iconic villain’s skin and face tattoos, and is the company’s step into a new world of watch design. When it comes to the soul of a watch, Athens is usually at the forefront of materials (check out all the news of them integrating silicon into their movements over the past decade), but has been fairly stagnant when it comes to external materials. It’s not necessarily a bad thing (or a good thing), just “yes”.

Ulysse Nardin released something very unexpected but very cool today. Darth Maul® is a new interpretation of the Ulysse Nardin executive style watch. The general layout of the executive gets a much-needed facelift in the new Skeleton X Magma. In addition to the usual colors, Ulysse Nardin’s forays into more “experimental” materials now appear on the outside of what Ulysses calls a carbon magma case. The red and black finishes create a watch whose overall aesthetic will be the choice of many who normally look to Hublot for something more “edgy”. Review replica watch

Additionally, those on a smaller budget who like the look of some of the red Roger Dubuis Excalibur models will immediately love the look of the new Darth Maul®. Ulysse Nardin’s UN-371 movement also provides buyers with a 96-hour power reserve, which in no way detracts from the watch’s appeal.

The 43mm watch is big enough to stand out on the wrist, but not too big to be obnoxious. Wearing a watch with a red and black case isn’t a subtle accessory choice, so the typical wearer wouldn’t necessarily expect it to be subdued, but this watch does a good job of being both loud and fairly docile. Also, for those who liked the Ulysse Nardin Executive Skeleton Tourbillon “Stars and Stripes” edition a few years ago, this watch will be a more affordable option with a similarly unique color scheme.

If I were running Ulysse Nardin fake, I would want to price my more “edgy” watches a bit lower than Hublot’s in order to gain more market share and then start increasing the cost of “entering” the brand. Ulysse Nardin could do well with this more “exclusive” approach, but that’s a pretty high price to enter, especially considering it’s an increasingly saturated segment. Here’s their current competition: most of Hublot’s watches, some new Defy creations from Zenith, a colorful Royal Oak Offshore, Omega’s steady stream of Speedmaster and Ocean Planet ceramic color combos released, and more.
