The dial is offered in two variations, a blue and a white. The general aesthetic of the dial is quite much like classic marine chronometers, together with Roman numerals painted quite legibly and elegantly, a 2nd sub-dial at 6 o’clock, and electricity reserve at 12 o’clock. The date window at 6 o’clock is a contemporary addition, of course, but well integrated into a fairly busy dial. The “1846” painted in red is a reference to this brand’s year of foundation and well aids visual equilibrium on the dial. The spade-shaped palms are in keeping with the classic theme and therefore are heat-blued for the white dial and polished to the blue.For that a vintage-inspired timepiece, the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur is refined, well-designed, and yet, modern enough to make for a daily wear piece. The highlight of the watch, in my view, is the movement which offers quite a lot of value in terms of horological pedigree. The Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur is available at retailers and boutiques for 6,900 CHF in steel with an alligator strap, 7,600 CHF in steel with an steel bracelet, and 17,900 CHF in 18k rose gold with the alligator strap, using exactly the exact prices in euros.While perhaps historically best known for their marine chronometers, Ulysse Nardin is in modern times, an integrated manufacturer of complete watches and watches including some very high-end and complex calibers. The Ulysse Nardin Executive Skeleton Tourbillon is Precisely the latter. With an in-house flying tourbillon movement, extremely minimalist skeletonization, and an ultra modern look, the Ulysse Nardin Executive Skeleton Tourbillon Blue represents a side of Ulysse Nardin that perhaps deserves another look.
The delightful daring of the burlesque dancer is brought alluringly to life by the craft of Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin. In a limited edition of 28 rose gold and platinum timepieces, each edition features miniature painting on the dial and Jaquemarts to highlight the hourstriker function.
