New Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moonphase 42mm
For the first time, the nautical “small” high quality replica watches in the iconic Ulysse Nardin Marine collection is equipped with a moonphase indication.
Ulysse Nardin has a long history in the field of nautical navigation and marine timekeeping. For decades, even centuries, nautical navigation relied on the position of celestial bodies. The introduction of precision instruments such as the marine chronometer revolutionized maritime navigation. Ulysse Nardin was founded in 1846, which means that this year the brand celebrates 175 years of watchmaking history, and Ulysse Nardin quickly rose to fame for producing accurate marine deck astronomical clocks. In this celebratory year, Ulysse Nardin pays tribute to the past with seven new Marine Torpilleur models, one of which is the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moonphase 42mm that we will take a closer look at today. high quality watches replica
The Marine Torpilleur collection is a sub-collection of Ulysse Nardin’s iconic Marine collection, launched in 2017. While the inspiration is still clearly drawn from the early days of marine chronometers, the updated style of the Marine Torpilleur makes it simpler, lighter and centered around a classic nautical theme. As Rebecca already explained in her introductory article on the entire 2021 collection earlier this week, the name comes from the small motorized torpedo boats that were launched in the 19th century.
The new Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moonphase is the first in the collection, as moon phase watches have been launched before, but not in this collection. It’s a very fitting complication, considering that the moon played an important role in early celestial navigation and is responsible for ocean tides. replica Breitling CHRONOMAT B01 NFL
The design concept of the Marine Torpilleur Moonphase remains very much in line with what you would expect from Ulysse Nardin. The large dial features elongated Roman numerals, a double scale layout (at 12 and 6 o’clock) and classic spade and whip hands. Two versions are available: one with a blue PVD dial with a sunray brushed finish and the other with a white lacquered dial, like the model in our photos. The markings are either white or black, depending on the dial color, and the hands are either rhodium-plated or blued steel. As mentioned earlier, a new feature on the Marine Torpilleur is the moon phase indication. It is integrated into the slightly recessed small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock, which features a dark blue PVD disc with stars and a textured moon. And, not only does this complication feel right, it also looks great in this iconic Marine design. replica Audemars Piguet watches
The stainless steel case of both models is 42mm wide and 11.13mm thick, with a classic fluted bezel. The movement inside is the UN-119 in-house movement, with a silicon balance spring and a Diamonsil escapement and anchor. Running at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations/hour (or 4Hz), it offers a power reserve of 60 hours when fully wound. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the winding rotor, embellished with two UN anchors, as well as elegant decoration with circular Geneva stripes and beveled edges. Of course, the movement is a COSC-certified chronometer. replica Greubel Forsey GMT watches
The Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moonphase is available in four versions, with blue and white dials available with a choice of blue or brown alligator leather straps. A steel folding clasp secures the watch to your wrist.
