Pre SIHH 2018: Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military Edition

Riding on the wave of success of its Marine Torpilleur, Ulysse Nardin presents the Marine Torpilleur Military edition. Direct descendant of the pocket chronometers of 19^th or beginning of the 20^th century, the new model has been radically redesigned for a resolutely modern era with a dynamic design.

Its two interpretations take inspiration from the eternal elegance of vintage military timepieces. One with an eggshell white dial and Arabic numerals matched by an elegant tan leather strap. The other in black, with orange Arabic numerals and superluminova-coated hands is completed with a black strap with orange stitching. Both editions present an oversized crown, a 44mm case with a steel sand-blasted finish, water-resistant to 50 meters, and stamped on the back with the distinctive Torpilleur.

Remarkable for a more accessible chronometer, it is powered by the Ulysse Nardin UN-118 manufacture movement. Featuring the proprietary Silicium anchor escapement crafted in-house, it boasts both COSC certification and the Ulysse Nardin certificate, a double guarantee of the highest performance standards. A small seconds function at 6 o’clock is complemented by a red serial number, showing the timepiece’s status as one of only 300 in a limited edition. The initials C.W. proudly proclaim it is a Chronometer Watch, referen-cing the military models of the past, whose design followed the strict codes of the armed forces. (Price CHF 7.900)
