For over 166 years Ulysse
Nardin has been creating some of the most reliable marine chronometers in
existence. With this latest addition to the Marine Diver collection, the
Manufacture in Le Locle firmly establishes its reputation as a cutting-edge
watchmaker.
Resolutely anchored in aquatic sports, the brand new Blue Sea is
designed to tackle extreme conditions. It perfectly combines its dual function
as a diving instrument and beautiful watchmaking piece. Blue Sea has a
self-winding movement featuring a 42-hour power reserve indicator, oversized
small seconds and large date display.
A symbol of the vigour of youth, this powerful timepiece showcases
Ulysse Nardin’s constant advances in watchmaking technology. Its
stainless-steel case, 45.8 millimetres in diameter, has been specially treated
with a sophisticated vulcanisation process giving it a blue rubber coating with
a remarkable appearance and a truly comfortable feel. Its exhibition case-back
reveals the self-winding movement also blued. The non-moving metal parts of the
movement have been treated with a stainless blue titanium based alloy (ion
sputtering process). Where necessary, the metal parts have been reworked to
accommodate the blue coating, the thickness of which is 1 micron with a
hardness of 1500 HV.
To enhance its look, a wave pattern adorns the structured strap and
dial. The hour markers and hour and minute hands are covered with blue
luminescent material for improved readability. Its power-reserve indicator is
situated at 12 o’clock while the small seconds and large date are displayed at
6 o’clock. Small hands are painted blue. The sapphire crystal has been treated
with an anti-reflective coating. Fitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel
and screwed crown, its individually-numbered case is water-resistant to 200
metres. This edition is limited to 999 pieces, each individually numbered on
the side of the case. The reliability of the Blue Sea is further strengthened
by an exclusive black ceramic folding clasp and a blue rubber strap with
ceramic components.
