PRE-SIHH 2018: Ulysse Nardin The New Marine Torpilleur Military "The Mark of a Captain"

The new Marine Torpilleur Military: a modern Marine chronometer for those who captain their own destiny.

Riding on the wave of success of its Marine Torpilleur, UlysseNardin is releasing the Marine Torpilleur Military edition, a chronometer for a whole new generation of adventurer.  Bold and dashing, this is a direct descendant of the pocket chronometers prized by the sea captains of 19thor beginning of the 20thcentury, radically redesigned for a resolutely mo-dern era. Featuring the same Ulysse Nardin UN-118 in-house movement as the celebrated Marine Chronometer, the UlysseNardin Marine Torpilleur Military takes on a more imposing air, as if daring the wearer to rise to a new level of challenge.

Dynamic design is in every line; military bearing in every aspect of this contemporary dynamo. Its two interpretations take inspiration from the eternal elegance of vintage military timepieces. One with an eggshell white dial, whose outlined Arabic numerals enable quick reading of the time, matched by an elegant tan leather strap. The other in chic black, with orange Arabic numerals and superluminova-coated hands – ideal for legibility in the dark – and attached to the wrist with a black strap with orange stitching. Both editions command respect with an oversized crown, and a formidable 44 mm case with a steel sand-blasted finish, water-resistant to 50 meters, and stamped on the back with the distinctive Torpilleur.

Remarkable for a more accessible chronometer, it is powered by the Ulysse Nardin UN-118 manufacture movement. Featuring the proprietary Silicium anchor escapement crafted in-house at the Swiss manufacture, it boasts both COSC certification and the Ulysse Nardin certificate, a double guarantee of the highest performance standards. A small seconds function at 6 o’clock is complemented by a red serial number, showing the timepiece’s status as one of only 300 in a limited edition. The initials C.W. proudly proclaim it is a Chronometer Watch, referencing the military models of the past, whose design followed the strict codes of the armed forces.

This contemporary chronometer has the advantage of 170 years of timekeeping excellence, the generations of precision and performance that have ensuredUlysse Nardin chronometers a treasured place among naval captains and explorers over the years. Stand to attention now for this vintage-inspiredUlysseNardin Marine Torpilleur Military edition: refined, resolute, and like its namesake, the torpilleur, able to outmaneuver its rivals at every turn. The mark of a captain, indeed.
