Ulysse Nardin, the 152 year old Swiss brand renowned for supplying accurate military timepieces to some of the world’ top navies, has unveiled the Marine Torpilleur Military Watch as part of a trio of unique chronometers launched for SIHH 2018. Representing the twin characteristics of high accuracy and strong legibility, this watch is a true marine chronometer with a high precision, state-of-the-art UN-118 in-house movement ensconced within the sand-blasted 44mm steel case. In a nod to the pocket chronometers of sea captains from the 19th and early 20th centuries, the watch features an oversized screwed-down crown and a fluted bezel. It uses Arabic rather numerals, a small seconds track at 6 o’clock, and a stamped caseback, displaying a Torpilleur or destroyer. The watch comes either in eggshell dial with brown leather strap or black dial matched with black leather strap. Each of the options is limited to 300 units, and each one individually numbered.
