The illustrious history of Ulysse Nardin as a supplier of world-class marine and pocket chronometers is alluded to by this latest Diver Le Locle (RM42,800) novelty. Inspired by a 1964 piece from the house collection, it boasts specifications expected of a pure diving watch.
These include oversized hands and indexes coated in Super Luminova, a uni-directional fluted bezel and a water resistance rating of 100 meters for the 42.2mm piece. On the dial, small seconds sit at the 6 o’clock while the magnified date at the 3 o’clock can be set both backwards and forwards — no light technical feat. The automatic movement carries the manufacture’s famed non-lubricated silicium escapement and hairspring while the power reserve states approximately 48 hours.
