Ulysse Nardin - Marine Torpilleur

Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur.

Ulysse Nardin is launching the new Marine Torpilleur in three different models.

Named for the small, fast ships of the 19th century, whose agility ensured they easily outmanoeuvred bigger ships, the new Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur (the French for torpedo-boat) is a lighter, thinner version of the renowned Marine Chronometer model.

Like its inspiration, the Torpilleur is powered by the self-winding in-house UN-118 movement and features the same 60-hour power reserve and proprietary Silicium anchor escapement. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement is also C.O.S.C-certified.

Ulysse Nardin is launching the new Marine Torpilleur in three different versions, and two different dials: in stainless steel with blue dial, in stainless steel with white dial, and in rose gold with white dial.

The 42 mm case is equipped with a screw-down security crown and offers water-resistance to 50 metres / 165 feet. It frames a dial which maintains several features typical of the Marine collection, including the Roman numeral indexes, the emblematic logo with its flash of red in “1846” and the distinctively-shaped hands.

The small seconds at 6 o’clock encircles the date window, while the 60-hour power reserve indicator is at 12 o’clock.

In alternative to the high-quality alligator leather strap, the stainless steel version can be equipped with a robust steel bracelet.

Prices: Euro 6,900 / Swiss Francs 6,900 in steel with leather strap, Euro 7,600 / Swiss Francs 7,600 in steel with steel bracelet and Euro 17,900 / Swiss Francs 17,900 in rose gold with leather strap. ulysse-nardin.com
