Ulysse Nardin celebrates an evolution in their Diver collection with the Hammerhead Shark chronograph
The introduction of an in-house movement to the diver collection represents a first for Ulysse Nardin Diver collection and is another major step in Ulysse Nardin independence.
This is a dedicated marine instrument – now made even more powerful by the UN-150. The Diver Chronograph Hammerhead Shark is offered in limited numbers in both stainless steel (300 pieces) and 18k rose gold 5N (99 pieces). Both of these versions sport a deep blue dial with a signature hammerhead shark motif.
Due to the shape of their expanded head, hammerhead sharks possess the sharpest sensory accuracy of all the sharks. Thus, they are quite exceptional when it comes to both hunting and ocean navigation and are renowned for their supreme precision. The name “Hammerhead Shark.” seems quite apt for this precision, marine instrument, perhaps a further edition will follow from Ulysse Nardin called the “Great Hammerhead” – the largest member of this species and an opportunity for a timepiece with an even larger case?
The Diver Chronograph Hammerhead Shark has a 44 mm case, 48-hour power reserve, screw-locked crown, pushers, solid lugs, and unidirectional turning bezel make it an ideal watch for ocean travel and excursions.
Ulysse Nardin claims that the Hammerhead Shark is both rugged and reliable, offering supreme readability.
On the dial , the 30 minutes counter is located at 3 o’clock and at 6 o’clock, the date and 12-hour counter is displayed. At 9 o’clock rests the small seconds counter. It is water resistance to 300 metres with wrist stability and ease of time tracking and measurement. The red accents are probably the most notable elements on the timepiece’s face, including the luminous indexes, watch hands and even the lone shark. Its bezel stands out by its characteristic wave pattern, further emphasised by its ornamentation impressed into the rubber band.
An azure rotor with the shark decoration is visible through the open, sapphire crystal case-back. All of the detailed combined create a pleasing visual effect. For many years, Ulysse Nardin has had a connection to the sea. A long-standing manufacturer of superb marine timepieces, it has now gone a step further, sailing towards independence with the execution of its in-house movement in the Diver collection.
The Diver Chronograph Hammerhead Shark is a symbol of this milestone.
