Today it stands as a statement from the Swiss maison that the best way to predict the future is to create it. The Ulysse Nardin Diver X Skeleton ties the past with the present but, more importantly, sets the trajectory for the next 175 years of artisan watchmaking. Vibrant touches of orange emphasise the model’s sports origins and can be further enhanced with an optional supercharged orange rubber strap. Other intricate details include hour markers that are carefully attached to the case so that they appear to be floating, an effect which adds to the watch’s sensation of depth, character and complexity. This movement affords hours, minutes and seconds functions indicated by Superluminova-coated hands to ensure high legibility even in the darkest corners of the sea. There is now an oscillating weight in the shape of Ulysse Nardin’s iconic X as well as a barrel cover at the midday mark, finished in the same blue Carbonium material as the bezel. The new UN-372 calibre driving the time for this unique timepiece is a completely re-engineered movement carried over from the Executive Skeleton model and faithfully reimagined for the Diver X Skeleton. The concave inverted unidirectional rotating bezel also acts to protect the domed sapphire glass against untimely impacts during diving expeditions.

This application is further reinforced with a water resistance rating of 200 metres to withstand potentially fatal depths of water pressure.

The PVD application itself serves a functional purpose in depositing a thin layer of high-density protective material around the watch. All of this takes place within a 44-millimetre case coated in blue PVD and finished with a lightweight blue Carbonium bezel for a truly striking appearance whether on land or at the depths of the ocean. Timeless minimalism perfectedĪs a stripped-down version of the Diver X model, the latest timepiece boasts a skeletonised face in place of a conventional dial to showcase the watch’s complex inner workings. To celebrate 175 years of timekeeping excellence until this very day, Ulysse Nardin has unveiled the Diver X Skeleton. The Ulysse Nardin brand would eventually become a leader in the manufacturing of marine chronometers and high-precision seafaring instruments – life-saving navigation tools that would earn its place in the highest order of civil, military and scientific industries. It was here that a young man named Ulysse Nardin would craft his very first timing instruments designed to help explore the world’s uncharted oceans.
