 To coincide with World Oceans Day on June 8th, Ulysse Nardin has launched the shark-themed Diver Lemon Shark to celebrate its partner community, which includes world-renowned shark experts, divers, universities and non-profit organizations.

 As part of its efforts to support the SDGs, Ulysse Nardin is working to reduce marine pollution by incorporating materials sourced from the ocean whenever possible into its new products. This includes recycling discarded fishing nets into watch straps. Ulysse Nardin also focuses on sharks, a top predator that serves as its avatar.

 The lemon shark, the subject of this film, is a carnivorous shark that lives mainly in Florida and feeds on fish and crustaceans. Its name comes from the yellow color of its skin, which matches the sandy seabed. It is notable for giving birth to live young rather than eggs, being able to form social bonds, and being said to have the ability to learn from each other. Although not aggressive towards humans, it is a species that is feared and misunderstood by many, as large individuals can grow to over 3 meters. In recent years, its population has declined and it is on the verge of extinction, and conservation efforts, including tagging for tracking, are underway.

 Ulysse Nardin has partnered with Osearch, a non-profit organisation that helps people access the data collected through tagging, and this work aims to promote their work by dispelling misconceptions about yellow sharks and raising awareness.

 The case is black with DLC, and the dial is also black with a matte sandblasted finish. The lemon yellow second hand and bezel accents are a distinctive feature of this model. It also comes with a Velcro strap made from 100% recycled fishing nets.

Marine Tropure Blue Enamel

Marine Tropure Blue Enamel

Ulysse Nardin "Marine Tropure Blue Enamel"
Automatic (Cal. UN-118). 50 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve approximately 60 hours. Stainless steel (diameter 44mm, thickness 11.73mm). Water resistant to 50m. Limited to 175 pieces worldwide. Price: 1,199,000 yen (tax included).

 Ulysse Nardin is one of the brands that uses traditional enameling techniques for its dials, a technique that has been honed by Donze Cadrans, an enameling workshop in Le Locle that Ulysse Nardin acquired in 2011. The brand excels in enameling techniques such as Grand Feu and Cloisonné.

 Now, Ulysse Nardin is producing a limited edition of the Marine Tropure Blue Enamel, featuring a blue enamel dial. The watch's design and functionality are in keeping with the traditional marine chronometer design codes, and the dial is crafted from blue enamel produced in-house using Grand Feu enamel. The Roman indexes and various markings are white, creating a contrast with the blue.

 The automatic movement is the Cal. UN-118, and it features a small second and date display at 6 o'clock. It has a power reserve of approximately 60 hours and a power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock to prevent the watch from stopping due to insufficient winding, something that must be avoided in a marine chronometer. The strap is available in brown alligator or blue alligator, and the watch will be limited to a total of 175 pieces.
