Riding the Surf with the Black Sea.
Created for those passionate about aquatic sports, Black Sea honors Ulysse Nardin’s nautical legacy in haute horology.
Powerful
and avant-gardist, it is a rugged all weather sports diving timekeeper
with a self-winding movement which features a 42 hours power reserve
indicator, oversized small seconds register and a large date display.
As the latest addition to the coveted Marine Diver collection, the
Black Sea showcases Ulysse Nardin’s evolution in watchmaking technology.
Its specially treated stainless-steel case, having undergone a complex
vulcanization process is revealed with a matte-black rubber coating,
presenting a sporty aesthetic and comfortable feel. Its exhibition
case-back reveals the self-winding movement.
Softening its styling is a calming wave pattern decorating the
black, structured strap and dial. The hour markers as well as the hour
and minute hands are covered with red luminescent material for better
visibility. Its power-reserve indicator is situated at 12 o’clock while
the small seconds and round date are displayed at 6 o’clock. Small hands
are painted in red. Provided with an unidirectional rotating bezel and a
screwed crown, its case, individually numbered, is water-resistant to
200 meters. Strengthening its already exceptional reliability is the
Black Sea’s rubber band including ceramic components and an exclusive
black ceramic folding clasp.
Since 1846, Ulysse Nardin has been
expertly steering captains and their crews with faultless precision by
way of its marine chronometers.
