Ulysse Nardin Diver Atoll

With its Diver collection, Ulysse Nardin celebrates the boundless spirit of adventure. The independent and integrated Manufacture fuses avant-garde designs, technical ingenuity and time-honoured craftsmanship in its exceptional timepieces.

Through the 100-piece limited-edition of Diver Atoll, Ulysse Nardin charts a brand-new course to sun-drenched, undiscovered climes, enriching the Diver 39mm with an astonishing stone-cut dial of chrysocolla. This mesmerising gemstone, a kaleidoscope of striking blues and turquoises accented with swirls of earthy browns and blacks, conjures visions of tranquil lagoons, vibrant coral reefs and limitless ocean horizons. Thanks to the stone’s inimitable patterning, each hand-cut dial is unique, ensuring that every watch tells its own, entirely distinctive story.

Following previous gem-set models with mother-of-pearl and aventurine dials respectively, the new Diver Atoll is a prime example of the brand’s expertise and ability to overcome technical challenges to create exceptional timepieces.

Style and serenity

Chrysocolla has been used for jewellery and decorative objects since antiquity. Traditionally associated with themes around communication, understanding, and harmony, its ethereal, calming beauty has also made it a popular stone today for meditation and relaxation.

The Diver Atoll features a stainless-steel case with polished and satin-brushed finishes, in which 80% of the steel is recycled – a reflection of Ulysse Nardin’s continuing commitment to sustainable practices that’s manifested around the Diver collection. For additional elegance, the uni-directional rotating bezel is set with 40 diamonds, while a further 11 diamonds adorn the hour indexes, for a total of 0.92 carats. The watch is presented with a sport chic white rubber strap or a white alligator strap.

Water resistant down to 300 meters, it is powered by the automatic movement UN-816, featuring Ulysse Nardin’s revolutionary silicon escapement technology, a cutting-edge material first introduced by the brand in 2001 when the iconic Freak timepiece was launched.

The Diver Atoll, a testament to the artistry and horological excellence of Ulysse Nardin, is the ideal summer companion, inviting you to explore exotic, uncharted waters in the height of elegance.
