Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Manufacture Review

I’m not sure how much the general population of watch buyers cares about the movement ticking away under the dial and inside the case of their watches, but I would think that the typical PuristSPro reader gives the movement more consideration than is typi...

Seriously, this Marine Chronometer is a very good Watch. The only thing I don't like is the double writing, in French and in English around the power reserve indicator. I just don't get it. For the rest, nothing to say, this is a cool Watch. Best, and tha... 

The bilingual inscription for the power reserve is correct ...

and it fits very well within his collection (a focus on watches with power reserve indication: IWC Portofino 8 day, PAM 384, VC Overseas Dual Time). Bill

The black numerals really seduce me on this watch. I think these revised dials are far nicer than the ones that were shown with the initial launch, and aside from the enamel dialed LE edition in gold, this is my favorite version of the watch.

The rose gold LE with enamel dial is gorgeous....

and I like the ruthenium finish on that movement as well......but it has a very different feel and a price point. (I'm kinda hoping docsnov will take a few photos for us). Bill

Not bad...

The bracelet is very similar to the previous version ...

... and also lacking a quick fine adjustment in the clasp, which is a clear disadvantage and not state of the art. Regards, Marcus

Thanks

It would be nice for UN to update the bracelet too, but alas... A

Docsnov forwarded these to me to share on the forum. Enjoy! I especially like the finish on the gold rotor highlighted against the darker ruthenium finish of the movement in the LE model. Bill ...
