New start: Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is the to-days lightest mechanical divers enjoy

Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] 3743-170-2A/0A

Because the flagship for Watches & Wonders Geneva 2025, Ulysse Nardin has just unveiled the actual worlds lightest mechanical divers watch. Made from high-tech remade materials, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is driven by a remarkably skeletonized automatic movement, using bridges machined from ti and, like the rest of the series, water-resistant to 200 metres; however , the entire watch (including the strap) weighs merely 52 grams, less than half the of the brands standard Diver X Skeleton model.

Despite sharing the identical overall silhouette as the brands standard divers models, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] measures 44mm in diameter and 14. 7mm thick, making it one particular millimeter thinner than it is Diver X Skeleton aunt. As youd expect, the most notable of the case features a domed blue crystal surrounded by a unidirectional rotating chronograph bezel, even though the back of the watch features a screw-down exhibition caseback with a unsecured personal winding crown at three that screws into the midsection case to ensure the 200 measures of water resistance this design offers. With this in mind, and in order to substantially reduce the weight of the fresh Diver [Air], Ulysse Nardin had to resort to resources different from those typically employed in its dive watch making. high quality replica watches

The Diver [Air]s event is made from titanium and carbon fibre, but rather than working with classic suppliers, Ulysse Nardin individuals forward-thinking innovators in the field of excellent materials to source these kinds of materials. Titanium is used for that internal container that properties the movement, as well as the watchs bezel, crown, and caseback. The titanium used in the particular Diver [Air] is 90% made from reproced materials and is manufactured by TiFast, a leading titanium producer, and also ThyssenKrupp, a specialist in components and engineering solutions centered on automotive technology and ocean systems. TiFast recycles ti from the Swiss biomedical market, which is then processed by simply ThyssenKrupp using its various systems and heat treatment methods to help enhance the alloy's processing along with deformation properties.

The rest of the case is made from Nylo®-Foil, a carbon composite substance that is lighter than regular carbon fiber. Nylo®-Foil is composed of 60 per cent Nylo® (a polymer created from recycled fishing nets by means of French recycling startup V?rkt?j & Fab) and forty percent carbon fiber, which comes from typically the IMOCA sailboat manufactured by CDK Technologies. The carbon fiber will be recycled and returned to be able to its original fiber express by Extracthive, a company dedicated to the circular economy, and after that Lavoisier Composites processes often the Nylo® and carbon fiber to generate the Nylo®-Foil material. In the meantime, the bezel insert on the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is made of CarbonFoil, which is made from 100% reused carbon fiber from IMOCA sailboats that are chopped and squeezed into a sturdy structure which has a unique marble-like forged carbon dioxide pattern.

Rather than a large rubber strap like most brands dive watches, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] comes with two ultra-light elastic fabric straps. The 2 straps are bright lemon or white, but apart from the color difference, the two secure are identical, both along with a wraparound design and a Velcro-style connection system. Since the band are connected to the case by way of Velcro, the two included connectors can be easily replaced minus the use of any tools, as well as the Velcro-style closure also supplies users with a nearly incalculable range of adjustability. Additionally , considering that the strap is essentially just a part of stretchy fabric with a black plastic pull tab, just adds a few grams regarding weight, and the Diver [Air] weighs 46 grams for the watch brain, and only 52 grams having one of the included straps.

Creating a lightweight scenario and strap certainly aided keep the watchs weight lower, but to create a watch honestly, that is close to breaking the report, the movement inside furthermore needed to be redesigned. The Competence UN-374 automatic movement, obvious through two sapphire uric acid on either side with the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] case, is skeletonized, with bridges in addition to mainplates made from 90 per cent recycled titanium to further minimize weight. The skeletonized ti bridges have been redesigned to make a triangle for highest strength, the skeletonized mainspring barrel has been changed to any flying configuration, and by getting rid of the upper barrel bridge, Ulysse Nardin was able to further may help weight of the movement. replica Jacob and Co. watches

The Cal. UN-374 movements consists of 199 individual elements, is set with 21 jewelry, beats at 21, six-hundred vph (3 Hz), and possesses a power reserve of ninety days hours. Similar to other under one building movements of Ulysse Nardin, the Cal. UN-374 has an oversized balance wheel, whoever hairspring and anchor-shaped avoid wheel are made of silicon. The particular 90% recycled titanium useful for the plates and links is produced by TiFast as well as Thyssenkrupp, and the silicon utilised in the regulating organ arises from recycled silicon wafers given by Sigatec. At the same time, the one of the Cal. UN-374 have been hollowed out to the essential factors, and the use of large aspects of hollowing out and lightweight supplies makes the movement weigh simply 7 grams, but it can easily withstand shocks of more than 5, 000g. swiss replica watches

Dive watches and skeleton wrist watches usually exist at contrary ends of the horological variety, and it is undeniable that the really hollowed-out display is completely other to the legibility that dance watches usually have. That being said, ultra-lightweight skeletonized sports watches are becoming a very popular horological style, and the haute horlogerie creations are generally not intended to be purely utilitarian goods, but rather to be technical includes that demonstrate the developing prowess of their respective manufacturers. The Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] goals not to be the worlds strongest dive watch, but to function as the worlds lightest dive watch, and its appearance is designed to mirror this extreme, with roughly 80% of the space in the case being completely entertained by air.

The Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] shoves the boundaries of one metric without compromising the others, and also although the new Diver [Air] weighs not even half of the brands standard Diver X Skeleton model, that still offers a proper programmed movement with the same 200-meter depth rating, and also delivers users with 25% more time power reserve. replica luxury watches
