Gorgeous, super comfortable, and strong enough to have earned the nickname “shark-proof”, the Milanese mesh bracelet, when properly built, is the most versatile option in the classic watch strap repertoire. For this first-ever usage, Ulysse Nardin has opted for a very thick mesh, stamped from sheet steel, painstakingly stitched together by hand, and finished with a retro-styled butterfly buckle. The result is a dressy alternative to other metal bracelets, as easy chic, easy cool stylish as it is sturdy, go-anywhere rugged.

The hero of the new rollout, in stainless steel with PVD blue bezel and blue dial and strap pepped-up with bright orange touches, this limited-edition of 300 pieces knockout is blue-shark stamped on the case back, a nice echo to its big brother, the Diver Great White 44mm.

Ulysse Nardin is the Pioneering Manufacture inspired by the sea and delivering innovative timepieces to free spirits.

Founded by Mr. Ulysse Nardin in 1846 and a proud member of the global luxury group Kering since November 2014, Ulysse Nardin has written some of the finest chapters in the history of Haute Horlogerie. The company’s earliest renown came from its links to the nautical world: its marine chronometers are among the most reliable ever made, still sought by collectors around the world. A pioneer of cutting-edge technologies and the innovative use of materials like silicon, the brand is one of the few with the in-house expertise to produce its own high-precision components and movements. This exceptional level of watchmaking excellence has earned Ulysse Nardin membership in the most exclusive circle of Swiss watchmaking, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie. Today, from its sites in Le Locle and La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, the brand’s continuing quest for horological perfection centers around five collections: The Marine, the Diver, the Classic, the Executive and the Freak. www.ulysse-nardin.com
