NOVEL PERSPECTIVES
Ulysse Nardin proposes an upgrade to its watch for elegant travelers. On the agenda, easier-to-read time data and a case whose diameter shrinks by a millimeter.
Wherever you’re heading, the Dual Time watch from the Executive collection will be your trusty friend as you journey across the globe. With this reference from Ulysse Nardin’s world, you’ll see the time of the country you visit via the central hour and minute hands. You’ll also be able to find out what time it is back home or in any other place listed via the indicator set at 9 o’clock. Two discreet “+” and “-” pushers, located opposite the crown, invite you to set the hour hand easily. The time data is enhanced with a double date aperture off-centered at 2 o’clock and small seconds at 6 o’clock. The spacious scenography reproduces Skeleton X design with its Roman numerals positioned like cardinal points, yet less emphasized than in previous versions. Moreover, it offers excellent readability even in darkness as its components are adorned with luminescent material.
Two 42 mm-diameter case variations are available for this 2020 vintage. The one crafted in steel features a black or blue dial. It is worn on a matching rubber strap. The rather more refined second one blends rose gold with an azure shade and an alligator strap. An ardillon buckle ensures the watch is securely clasped.
This range of Dual Time watches embraces the UN-24 caliber which can be admired through the sapphire-crystal back of the case which is waterproof to depths of 50 meters. This selfwinding movement delivers a power reserve of at least 42 hours. Perfect for traveling with total peace of mind!
