TO THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEANS

No matter how deep you dive, with this new watch by Ulysse Nardin you are sure to enjoy your underwater outings in the best conditions.

Ulysse Nardin has joined the very exclusive club of watchmaking brands including in their catalogue a diving watch that is water-resistant down to 1,000m. With the Diver Deep Dive, the brand brings us a real instrument to resist the pressure of the sea depths. This series, limited to 300 pieces, features all the elements needed for a totally safe dive. Its impressive, 46mm-wide titanium case has a helium valve at 9 o’clock and a crown at 2 o’clock protected by a secured moveable mechanism that is machined in the same material as the case. The unidirectional bezel with 12 markers is partly coated in rubber for improved handling. On the blue dial, large hour and minute hands point to indices coated with luminescent material to provide excellent visibility on land and underwater. Reinforcing the marine aesthetic, the steel caseback is stamped with a hammerhead shark, a motif that can also be found on the dial and the side of the crown protector.

This sports watch is driven by an automatic movement with a silicon spiral and escapement. The calibre UN-320 made by Ulysse Nardin provides the watch with 48 hours of power reserve.

The Diver Deep Dive is worn with a rubber strap featuring an extensible element used to adapt to the variations in the wrist size as a result of the compression of a neoprene diving suit.
