Reinforcing the precision theme of this Ulysse nardin gold watches Replica Marine Torpilleur Military, this opinion has attained both a Chronometer Certificate from Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), as well as the brand’s own Ulysse Nardin Certificate. First released in 2012, the Ulysse Nardin Certificate is a seven-day procedure and assesses the watch according to these criteria:Cosmetic Inspection.Water Resistance, Vacuum, and Stress tests.Accuracy evaluation in 6 places and 3 temperatures, where it must attain a deviation of no longer than -2/+6 seconds per day.The Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military additionally distinguishes itself in the previous non-limited edition using a stamped caseback, including a Torpilleur boat, which is the French term for a destroyer. These were nimble, rapid warships used in both World Wars, even though the connection between a tiny long tail warship and a 44mm watch with 50m water-resistance is ambiguous at best. The previous version could at least claim to be somewhat smaller than most of Ulysse Nardin’s other marine chronometers in 42mm. The newest is touting the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military as a bolder interpretation of the past Torpilleur model, designed in a manner evocative of pocket chronometers favored by sea captains from the 19th and early 20th centuries. An oversized screwed-down crown together with the Ulysse Nardin emblem should make for simple performance, and the fluted bezel provides a point of interest on the otherwise no-nonsense case. Two versions of the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military are available, an eggshell dial with brown leather strap and white contrast stitching, and a black dial with orange numerals, black leather strap, and orange contrast stitching.

Ulysse Nardin, watchmaker of the oceans, announces its partnership with Belgian free diver and photographer Buyle. Underwater explorer, Buyle has spent most of the last three decades beneath the surface of the seas capturing images in the watery depths with just a camera, available light and one breath of air.

Sunlight, water, air. Fred Buyle is using his underwater photography to change the way we see the seas. Thanks to his bold exploration, we can marvel at the icebergs of Antarctica from an orca’s point of view, swim with sharks, and look up from 60m below the surface at the sun shining through the water.

Without disrupting the fragile marine environment, Buyle uses his artistic background to capture little-seen animals of the deep on film, tagging them for biologists in the process. Able to reach 60m on one lungful of air with his camera, his images are taken with natural light and one breath of air. Buyle is specialized in capturing images of sharks in their natural habitats, without a protective cage, diving freely with iconic species such as hammerheads, tigers and even great white sharks.

To accompany Buyle into the ocean depths, Ulysse Nardin has created the Diver Deep Dive, a robust, functional sports watch, water resistant to 1000 meters. “At a time when our mobility is changing so much, it’s great to be able to carry an object with you all the time that says so much about who you are”, says Patrick Pruniaux, CEO of Ulysse Nardin. Powered by the in-house UN-320 caliber it has everything a serious diver needs: a helium escape valve, removable titanium guard, an expandable, adjustable rubber strap and a large bezel with 12-nothed teeth for easy manipulation, even with diving gloves. Fifteen sharks adorn the dial and one more is stamped on the back – a reminder that man is only a visitor in the ocean’s depths; the seas belong first to the animals.

“Three things have fascinated me since I was small kid: bicycles, sailboats and mechanical watches. The three share one technical aspect, natural energy and a little bit of magic”, said Buyle. Bold, respectful and talented, he has not finished surprising us.
