Introducing Ulysse Nardin Writes A Love Letter To The Moon With These Four New Designs

The new Marine Torpilleur Moonphase comes in two variations: One with a white dial, and one with a blue dial. The dial color selection stems from the long history of Ulysse Nardin's ties to horological traditions involving the moon and the sea. The blue dial is created with a sun-brushed PVD coating, and the white dial is varnished. The stainless steel case measures 42 millimeters, and inside is the manufacturer caliber UN-119, with a balance wheel in Silicium and escapement wheel in Diamonsil that contribute to a 60-hour power reserve. The whole package is water-resistant to 50 meters, enough to comfortably practice celestial navigation at sea using the watch and a sextant, like the Ulysse Nardin wearers of yore.

There are four total references, two with a blue dial, 1193-310LE-3A-175/1A(with a blue strap) and 1193-310LE-3A-175/1B(with a brown strap), and then two with a white dial, 1193-310LE-0A-175/1A (with a blue strap) and 1193-310LE-0A-175/1b (with a brown strap). There will be 150 examples of each made, and they're priced at $9,900. The caliber UN-119 features the functions of hours, minutes, small seconds, and of course, moonphase. It beats at 28,800 vph, and it employs 45 jewels. The stainless steel case is 42mm, and features polished and satin finishes. The watches will be available at Ulysse Nardin authorized dealers. For more, click here.
