Through the years, Ulysse nardin watch freak Replica has, with the support of Ludwig Oechslin, developed a reputation for creating movements that offer rare or complex complications but with surprisingly few additional elements. While Ludwig Oechslin takes this concept of minimalism and simplification to an extreme with his own brand Ochs Und Junior, his fingerprints are all over the mechanics of this watch as well.The caliber UN-113 automatic movement has only 7 extra parts over its date and time only movement cousin. An ordinary yearly calendar motion usually requires an additional 30+ components. This is quite a mechanical achievement when you think about those numbers. The main motivation behind making complications and moves easier is to make them more accessible to more collectors (fewer parts equals lower costs and lower costs) and to guarantee longevity and reliability because the fewer components present, the less a thing can go wrong.The grade UN-113 supplies 60 hours of power reserve whilst beating at 28,800bph. Each movement is COSC-certified and contains a silicon escapement for enhanced timekeeping. The movement is, of course, visible through a screen back. Another helpful characteristic of the movement is that the date can be adjusted both forward and backwards. Annual calendars and endless calendars that can’t adjust the date backwards with the crown alone could be rather annoying in use if you tend to fly (or sail) around the world a lot.

The elegant beauty of this watch is accentuated by the sleek dial with its two-counter chronograph. This pared-down design was used in several historic chronographs from Ulysse Nardin, and it delivers all the force of the original Marine DNA. The month counter at 9 o’clock is combined with the small seconds. The chronograph 30-minute counter is at 3 o’clock, while a round date at 6 o’clock boast the quick set function, and is easily adjustable both forwards and backwards.  Created by Ulysse nardin replica watches uk Replica enamel specialists Donzé Cadrans, the pale milky color of the enamel results from the process of this challenging art.

Marine characteristics are also evident in the historic cathedral hands, logo and thin Roman numeral indexes which are crafted in blue steel, as well as the heritage logo and the words quantième annuel, or annual calendar, above the date.

Driving this self-winding chronograph and annual calendar is the UN-153 movement with a power reserve of 52 hours. The stringent precision and quality requirements of the Ulysse nardin watch service Replica certificate are met through precision silicium components like the silicium balance-spring and escapement, both manufactured in-house.

A worthy inheritor of the lineage established by earlier Marine Chronometer Manufacture (2012) and Marine Chronograph Manufacture (2013) timekeepers, the Marine Chronograph Annual Calendar bears the same classic detailing. This includes a ribbed bezel, a screw-crown guaranteeing water resistance to 100 m, and a generous  stainless steel 43 mm diameter case. The blue alligator strap is an elegant match to the rubber on the crown.
