Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver Chronograph ref. 353-92 Black Sea – Full set

Established in 1846 in Le Locle, Switzerland, Ulysse Nardin has left an indelible mark on both the watchmaking and nautical worlds. Renowned for crafting highly accurate and intricate marine chronometers, the brand’s legacy spans over a century, with more than fifty of the world’s navies having relied on its precision instruments during the 1900s. Today, Ulysse Nardin continues this tradition, creating exquisitely complicated timepieces tailored for those who value individuality and character above all else.

Enter the Maxi Marine Black Sea – a piece inspired by that mysterious Mediterranean offshoot that borders Europe and Asia. True to its name, this timepiece’s appeal runs deep. The captivating black-on-black-on-black color scheme, accentuated by subtle contrasts, ensures impeccable legibility amid its dark allure. Unlike conventional PVD coatings prone to wear, the 45.8 mm case and rotating bezel owe their color to the layer of vulcanized rubber that covers them, offering unparalleled resilience against scratches and dings. The wave motif adorning the bezel finds harmony with the fine satin dial texture, which in turn provides an ideal backdrop for the white (and luminous) hands and indices. With a comfortable rubber-and-steel bracelet and thoughtfully designed short lugs, the Black Sea delivers a dreamlike wearing experience for wrists of all sizes, defying its generous proportions.

Visible through the sapphire caseback is the exceptional caliber UN-35 – a masterpiece based on the ETA 2892-A2 and integrating a Dubois Dépraz chronograph module.
