Introducing the all-new Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moonphase, featuring an exquisite blue aventurine dial. Details, live pictures and pricing below.
The new Marine Torpilleur Moonphase Aventurine, an exclusive limited edition of 300 pieces, reveals a sparkling blue aventurine dial reminiscent of a night sky, set in a 42 mm stainless steel case. Powered by the UN-119 Manufacture calibre, fully designed and assembled by the integrated Ulysse Nardin Manufacture, this movement is equipped with a silicon balance spring as well as a DIAMonSIL escapement wheel and anchor. This patented treatment, which combines silicon with synthetic diamonds to make the movement abrasion and shock-resistant, was introduced for the first time on the Freak in 2007. Finally, the double counter displays the power reserve at 12 o’clock and small seconds at 6 o’clock, as well as a moon phase disc, which adds elegance when it appears in the starry night. Water-resistant to 50 metres, this timepiece is presented on a blue alligator strap with folding clasp.
AVENTURINE
Legend surrounding the aventurine recounts that in the eighteenth century, on the island of Murano in Venice, home to the famous glass-makers, a craftsman inadvertently let some copper filings fall into a pot of molten glass, so creating aventurine glass, or “avventurina” in Italian, meaning “by accident”. Working with this fragile material requires considerable expertise from the artisans. Fine plates are first cut from blocks of aventurine. Only pieces that are completely uniform, free from bubbles and evenly speckled with copper glitter are used for creating the dial.
The Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moonphase Aventurine is priced at €13,580 (incl. 19% VAT).
