Today we're exploring the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer, a neo-vintage 18k Rose Gold piece. Ulysse Nardin has adapted the universally regarded design of its desk clocks and navigation instruments to a luxury wristwatch. The brand went from a manufacturer of navigation tools in the mid 1980's and revived its image to a heritage inspired watchmaker. 

The general form of the watch was introduced in the early 2000's as the Maxi, and combines the dial and case shape of a vintage chronometer with newer styles. The watch, with diameter of 43mm and thickness of 12mm, is not overwhelming on a wrist. The lug to lug span is 49mm, making it suitable and proportionate for smaller wrists. The watch contains a large amount of gold, making it a good value for the price. 

The lugs retain the straps by screws. making the watch secure despite the heft of the piece. The strap is nicely integrated  and blends seamlessly to the blogs. The watch is substantially bolstered, giving the wearer a not only quite a bit of gold, but also quite a bit of leather. The watch is truly designed for long wear and durability. The strap is fashioned with a double deployment, twin trigger buckle in high polished Rose Gold. 

The high ratio to dial to bezel is deliberate and makes the watch look bigger than it is. The high gloss white dial is beautifully balanced with power reserve at the top and jump date at the bottom. The dial is accented by a vintage inspired railroad track for minutes with roman numerals marking the hours. In addition, the watch becomes a beautifully rendered sports watch if put on a textile or rubber strap. 

The exhibition caseback covers a Uylsse Nardin caliber 26. The base caliber is an ETA289282 in chronometer specification, the highest grade delivered.
