Ulysse Nardin Marine: An Homage to Maritime Life
The sporty and elegant watches in the Ulysse Nardin Marine line are particularly well known and coveted by lovers of sailing ships and motor yachts. With these watches, the Swiss manufacture pay homage to its own maritime history as chronometers for shipping were once the core business of this brand that was founded in 1846. Today, the Marine is available in many different models and quite a few of them feature amazing technical innovations.
Characteristics of the Ulysse Nardin Marine
The centerpiece of this line is the particularly accurate Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer, which is available with cases that measure 40, 42 and 43 millimeters. This model was first released in 1996 to mark the 150th anniversary of the company. Along with the typical stainless steel cases, there are also two variants in rose gold, with dials that come in either blue or white. The hands on this Ulysse Nardin Marine model are pear-shaped and often blue, the numerals are Roman. A slightly slimmer version of this model is the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur, which has a case that measures 40 or 42 millimeters that can also come in rose gold. The line is further complemented by the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronograph and Tourbillon.
Outstanding Inventions
The Ulysse Nardin Marine Regatta chronograph is technically outstanding as it is the only yachtsman's watch to offer a countdown function for a period of ten minutes. The second hand runs backwards and even changes direction again after the countdown has finished. With this outstanding feature, Ulysse Nardin once again demonstrates its flair for creative innovations.
