Ulysse Nardin Just Introduced 7 New Limited Edition Marine Torpilleur Watches

All new items celebrate the brand's 175th anniversary and will be sold as limited editions.

Grand Feu enamel dials, chronographs and high-level complications are on the menu for Ulysse Nardin's Geneva Watch Days, this week's miniature watch fair in Switzerland. Like Bulgari, Ulysse Nardin is a founding partner of the show, and while it focuses on just one collection, it showcased five new models for its Marine Torpilleur collection. All watches feature a silicon escapement (the company pioneered the use of the material on its Freak models in 2001) and are marked with the iconic "Chronometry since 1846" in celebration of Ulysse Nardin's 175th anniversary.

The latest generation of the Marine Torpilleur Chronometer debuted in 2017 as a lighter, thinner iteration of the brand's Marine Chronometer. Today’s additions offer collectors in the market a range of options, including dress watches of all sizes, complications and elegant dial technologies and designs.

While the highlight of this watch is the patented constant escapement tourbillon at 6 o'clock, which won the Tourbillon Grand Prix at the 2015 GPHG (or Oscars in watchmaking), the dial cannot be ignored . Over 90% handcrafted by the glazing workshop Donzé Cadrans, made of the finest black Grand Feu enamel acquired by Ulysse Nardin in 2011. It also features oversized white Roman numerals and a power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock. Properly housed in a polished and satin-finished 5N rose gold case with a fluted bezel.

Marine Torpileur Chronograph of the Year

Two annual chronograph versions ($12,100) with white lacquered or matte blue dials, steel case and fluted bezel, improved independent watchmaker Ludwig Oechslin's 1996 annual calendar system with improved settings , the time and date can now be adjusted by turning the crown forwards or backwards to make setting the time and date easier. The chronograph counter is displayed at 3 o'clock, while the annual calendar and small seconds are displayed in the subdial at 9 o'clock. Measuring 44mm x 13.66mm, this watch is the largest watch in the new collection – requiring a lot of space to fit the components needed to make a chronograph of the year.
