Two new diving products in fashionable camouflage colors, designed with environmental protection in mind.

One of the important trends in the modern fake watch industry is the emphasis on environmental protection. Especially when it comes to innovative materials, the production of which reduces CO2 emissions. For Ulysse Nardin, the debut in this direction was the Ulysse Nardin Diver Net watch, released in 2020. The two new products in the Diver series are also designed with environmental considerations in mind and feature a stylish camouflage design.

Ulysse Nardin Diver Net OPS
This model features a range of eco-friendly materials, including recycled fishing nets and carbon-carbon composites. The latter is commonly used in the manufacture of aircraft fuselages and wings. In the new product, the side parts of the case and the back cover are made of it. Case dimensions – 44 x 14.81 mm. Waterproof depth is 300 meters.

Everything else is made from recycled stainless steel. Ulysse Nardin claims that with this approach they are able to reduce their environmental impact by 40%. Visually, the cheap watch features a rotating carbon alloy bezel with a marble pattern. In addition to the khaki strap made from recycled fishing nets, there is also an optional green rubber strap with a black ceramic buckle.

The dial is sandblasted in khaki with an X-shaped cutout in the center. Beige Super-LumiNova luminous paint with a green glow makes your index finger gleam in the dark. There is a seconds counter and integrated date window at 6 o’clock, balanced by a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock.

This model is powered by the Ulysse Nardin UN-118 base movement, equipped with a DiamonSil escapement and silicon hairspring. The mechanism is assembled from 50 jewels, is self-winding, has a balance frequency of 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 60 hours.

Ulysse Nardin Diver X Skeleton OPS
This is essentially a skeleton version of the previous model. Therefore the water resistance is low (200 meters). Also 44mm in diameter, the case is slightly thicker (15.7mm). There are also carbon alloy details here, especially on the bezel and movement. However, in order to reduce weight, the case and case back are made of titanium and have been sandblasted and DLC coated.

This model has an X-shaped element in the center of the dial, which is also backlit with beige Super-LumiNova. The khaki fabric strap is partly made from recycled fishing nets. As an alternative, the watch also comes with a green rubber strap. It is secured to the wrist via a folding clasp made of black ceramic and PVD-coated titanium.

This model is powered by the UN-372 movement. If you turn the copy watch over from the back, you will notice that the large X-shaped rotor has a cutout area so as not to obscure the view of the mechanism. The balance oscillates at 21,600 vph and has a power reserve of 72 hours.

The sporty, aviation-themed Calatrava Pilot enters Patek Philippe’s complication realm with its alarm chime. The addition of a 24-hour alarm is an impressive and useful complication for this travel-friendly timepiece, and now Patek Philippe offers us the same in rose gold. At Watches & Wonders 2024, Patek Philippe unveiled the Alarm Travel Time Reference 5520RG with a two-tone rose gold case and white gold push tube.

Launched in 2019, the original pilot-style alarm travel time watch gets a rose gold makeover with two tune reminders on the case and dial. Aesthetics aside, the new watch retains the mechanics of its predecessor with a 42.2mm rose gold case and four white gold pusher tubes. The dial features a gray sunburst finish that contrasts with the charcoal gray minute tracker and date ring, in keeping with the two-tone aesthetic. Its applied Arabic numerals and sword-shaped hands are coated with a thick luminous coating on an anthracite white gold surface, adding to the utilitarian nature of this watch.

In-house movement for reliable timekeeping

Powering the newly launched Patek Philippe Alarm Travel Time Reference 5520RG at Watches & Wonders 2024 is the AL 30-660 SC FUS automatic movement. Its time telling and two time zone tracking bring innovations with four patent applications. The device combines a unique travel time system with a 24-hour alarm mechanism and is equipped with hammers that strike classic gongs to produce the decibels of sound required for horological craftsmanship. The dial also provides day/night indication of local time and home time through dedicated windows.

A sporty Patek Philippe for travelers

The signature appeal of the Patek Philippe Travel Alarm Reference 5520RG, equipped with a highly sophisticated grand complication, lies in its inherent ease of operation and the undeniable usefulness of its display. While the four-button configuration is a bit too much for Patek Philippe’s reserved aesthetic, it does provide a solid case for a sporty travel fake watch with sensible and sensible mechanical features.
