ulysse nardin FREAK S NOMAD 2024

When we heard that Ulysse Nardin replica was going to release something new, we knew what to expect, and it wasn’t going to be a delicate 36mm steel tool watch. Every year, we see the Freak evolve, getting more and more bizarre, and this year, Ulysse Nardin is taking us into outer space.

For Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024, Ulysse Nardin unsurprisingly unveiled a new chapter in the Freak story in the form of the ultra-complex Freak S Nomad. Limited to 99 pieces, the watch is designed to mimic a sci-fi spaceship. It follows in the footsteps of previous Freak designs, completely breaking with convention and challenging the very nature of watchmaking, with no hands or dials as we know it.

The overall mechanical look is derived from the exposed Calibre UN-251 movement, which features a flying disc that rotates on an axis. It features two “launch pad” oscillators, a silicon balance wheel tilted at 20 degrees, and an escapement treated with high-tech DIAMonSIL for increased precision and durability. Winding is done by Ulysse Nardin’s innovative Grinder® (!) winding system, which they claim is twice as efficient as conventional automatic systems. luxury fake Watches

The movement’s bridges are dark grey PVD coated, and like the other Freaks, it has an incredible 373 parts and 33 jewels.

The 45mm case encases it, combining a variety of futuristic materials, such as titanium for the body, a dark grey PVD-coated titanium bezel, and carbon fiber sides that serve as the watch’s lugs. The strap is either dark grey “ballistic” rubber or matte dark grey alligator leather.

This watch has no real dial or hands. That sounds strange, but for a Freak, it’s normal. The Freak S Nomad indicates the minutes via a hand set on a flying one-hour orbital disc, and the hours via a hand set on a rotating hour disc beneath the movement.

The rotating hour disc behind the Freak S Nomad’s flying wheel is handcrafted in a diamond guilloché pattern and covered in a sand-colored CVD coating.

Ulysse Nardin has done its best work with the 2024 FREAK S NOMAD. It represents a marvel of unfettered design and technology. Interestingly, it also seems to be the exact opposite of the watch we saw at the British Watchmakers Day in London earlier this year. There’s a completely eccentric feel to this spaceship-inspired watch that bears little resemblance to any traditional manufacturing techniques.

Ulysse Nardin FREAK ONE watch

Both “entering the circle” and “breaking out of the circle”, choose one of these Qixiang ONE

In 2023, Ulysse Nardin fake released a FREAK ONE watch, which is called a masterpiece. It continues the classic “Three Nothings” design of Phantasy, and also integrates the aesthetic features and advanced watchmaking technology of the previous models of the Fantasy series. Won the “Best Iconic Watch” at the Geneva Watch Awards. During the Dubai Watch Week in November, Ulysse Nardin once again wrote a new chapter in fantasy, using khaki green and black as a blend and a new interpretation of pioneering materials to launch the FREAK ONE OPS fantasy watch. Watch House also I recently photographed this new work, and let’s enjoy it with my friends through real-life pictures. (Watch model: 2403-500-8A/3A)

Although this new FREAK ONE OPS fantasy watch still adheres to the design of no dial, no hands, and no crown, in appearance, it actually has the same theme as FREAK X OPS, and is designed with innovative materials and green. This creates a completely different tough style and heroic spirit from conventional fantasy works. The new watch chooses black DLC-coated titanium as the case material. The diameter of the watch is 44 mm, and the decoration is mainly brushed. Looking at the casing alone, there is no difference between the OPS and the black gold model.

The difference lies in the bezel of the new watch, which was specially made by Ulysse Nardin using Carbonium® carbon ion material. I often introduce Ulysse Nardin’s carbon fiber material to watch friends, which is known as aviation-grade equipment for the wrist. This is indeed true. This carbon fiber material is widely used in the manufacturing of modern aircraft fuselages and wings. The raw materials of Athens will also directly use scraps of aviation parts, which will be re-cast under high temperature and high pressure after post-processing.

There are many benefits to this approach. For example, the performance requirements for aviation-grade materials are extremely stringent, and reprocessing also takes into account sustainable development. Judging from the actual bezel, compared to the mottled texture appearance of conventional carbon fiber watch cases, the Ulysse Nardin’s carbon fiber texture will be like ocean waves, with its own flowing effect. The crownless design also allows the bezel of the flagship model of the Fantasy series to have the function of operating and adjusting the time. By unlocking the 6 o’clock dial under the bezel, you can rotate the bezel to complete the adjustment. fake watches for sale

Inheriting the iconic dial-less design of the Ulysse Nardin Fantasy series, the dial of the watch is actually the center-mounted spring box cover design of the Freak ONE. This time Ulysse Nardin uses a special touch of khaki green, paired with unique sunray patterns and striped decorations, making the color just like the design of the Fantasy series itself, making the watch more individual. Previously, I also saw Jean-Christophe Sabatier, Chief Product Officer of Ulysse Nardin, talking about why he chose this green color in an interview. In his opinion, green is a popular dial color in the field of watches, but Ulysse Nardin does not want to make ordinary green. After all, there are too many people doing it, so Ulysse Nardin chose the rare khaki green as the green theme. Easily reminiscent of outdoor and tactical styles, it represents the color of adventure and exploration. Introducing this visual concept into watch design also coincides with the DNA and creative thinking of Fantasy watches.

The pointerless design of the Ulysse Nardin Fantasy watch is turned into a minute hand through the Carrousel strip movement, and the triangular hour markers are linked at the bottom to indicate the time. FREAK ONE also references the nautical elements of the Fantasy Cruiser in the movement shape. Judging from the real photos, FREAK ONE’s Carrousel movement, from the balance wheel to the escapement to the hairspring, is all made of silicon. Silicon material is also the watchmaking technology that Ulysse Nardin is most proud of. Ulysse Nardin pioneered the silicon era of watches two thousand years ago, making this watch non-lubricating, light, efficient, anti-magnetic, and low in temperature sensitivity. High-tech materials have been popularized in the field of watches. At the same time, silicon parts are not only good in performance. Taking the running and beating effect of the large-size silicon balance wheel as an example, its ornamental value is also excellent. zenith pilot replica watches

The UN-240 self-winding movement is also equipped with a Grinder® automatic winding system with extremely excellent winding efficiency. This component is also made of silicon and uses four symmetrical pawls to reduce the slightest movement on the wrist. Movement is sensitively captured by the silicon grinder system, converting momentum into energy storage in the watch movement. The movement can provide 90 hours of power reserve when fully wound.

Ulysse Nardin also provides two strap options for the watch, namely a “ballistic” textured rubber strap and a two-tone one-piece rubber strap. The straps also use a color combination of black and khaki green to match the watch design theme.

Summary: This subversive work of contemporary high-end watchmaking, FREAK ONE OPS fantasy watch, has been introduced to watch friends. Although the new work only changes the design theme, Ulysse Nardin has given it a truly refreshing effect. In the previous generation of fantasy flagship products, innovative materials such as color and carbon fiber were rarely used. Originally, they were more blue or black, paired with titanium and traditional precious metals. In fact, after adding a carbon fiber bezel, the new watch is matched with a khaki green dial. Like FREAK X OPS, it presents a more sporty, youthful, trendy and fashionable design, making a breakthrough in the usual design style. , when people see new products, they will think of tough design styles such as tactics, outdoor, and adventure. It also proves the success of this series of masterpieces for FREAK ONE watch, which is enough to accommodate more possibilities. audemars piguet royal oak skeleton
