Marine Corps

The Marine collection by Ulysse Nardin was easily recognizable. It enjoyed a fine career with its large bezel featuring an undulating rubber inlay, its power reserve systematically appearing at 12 o’clock, its dials often bearing maritime patterns (waves or sharks) and its rubber strap featuring a metal link just below the lugs at 6 o’clock. It is now reborn without ever having vanished, in a simplified and updated guise entirely in step with the many changes the brand is experiencing. The inspiration stems from the Diver Deep Dive presented at the SIHH 2018, a sea ‘monster’ of which the Diver 44mm is a less intense version, while nonetheless modernizing the previous generations in a fairly radical way. The dial swaps its previous patterns for an all-over grained surface with a deliberately marked texture lending a resolutely sporty touch. The bezel has kept its inlay which now features a series of parallel grooves, while the long dagger-shaped hands enhanced with Super-LumiNova® are entirely different. The graduations marking the small seconds, the power reserve and the dive times on the bezel are all simpler, straighter and clearer. Made from titanium with a dial, bezel and strap available in black or blue versions, the watch is more relevant, legible and powerful than ever.
