Founded in 1846 in Le Locle, Switzerland, Ulysse Nardin is known in both the watchmaking and the nautical worlds for its highly accurate, highly complicated marine chronometers used by over fifty of the world’s navies throughout the 1900s. Today, the company produces similarly complicated luxurious timepieces targeted at those who place individuality and character above all else.
The ref. 243-92 Quadroto Dual Time represents a union of functionality and elegant sophistication – a rare combination even for timepieces of this caliber. The frosting on the cake – it’s made by one of the most respected brands in the world of Horology.
Aesthetically, the Quadroto very much subscribes to modernist design, opting for a large, satin-brushed case with stepped lugs topped by a polished bezel, whose rounded design contrasts the angular geometry surrounding it. The dial follows an equally modernist layout, incorporating a small seconds subdial at 6, a Home Time indicator at 9, and a date aperture at 2. As it might have crossed your mind, the dial’s use of black and blue are meant to evoke the oceanic depths, signifying the brand’s respect for its nautical heritage.
The Ulysee Nardin Quadroto Dual Time is powered by the impressive caliber UN-24 – a 23-jewel automatic movement based on the ETA2892-A2 that operates at 28,800 vph and boasts a power reserve of 42 hours.
Our offering is in excellent condition – just polished and serviced by our watchmaker, comes as watch only, and is outfitted with a handmade crocodile leather strap.
The watch is covered by 1 year of limited warranty from ChronoTimepieces.
