With its Diver collection, Ulysse Nardin celebrates the boundless spirit of adventure. The independent and integrated Manufacture fuses avant-garde designs, technical ingenuity, and time-honored craftsmanship in its exceptional timepieces. The new Ulysse Nardin Diver Atoll is a 100-piece limited edition that charts a brand new course to sun-drenched, undiscovered climes, enriching the Diver 39 mm with an astonishing stone-cut dial of chrysocolla.
Chrysocolla is a striking blue-green mineral often found in association with copper deposits around the world. Its vibrant colors and unique patterns make it a popular choice for jewelry, carvings, and decorative objects. Chrysocolla is known for its calming energy, believed to help soothe and balance emotions. In addition to its metaphysical properties, chrysocolla is also valued for its aesthetic appeal and is often used by artisans to create exquisite pieces of art. Whether you admire chrysocolla for its beauty or believe in its healing properties, it is undoubtedly a fascinating stone with a rich history and timeless allure.
This mesmerizing gemstone, a kaleidoscope of striking blues and turquoise accented with swirls of earthy browns and blacks, conjures visions of tranquil lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, and limitless ocean horizons. Thanks to the stone’s unique patterning, each hand-cut dial is unique, ensuring that every watch tells its own, entirely distinctive story. The uniqueness of the stone makes every watch in this series a unique timepiece as no two dials are the same.
Following previous gem-set models with mother-of-pearl and aventurine dials respectively, the new Diver Atoll is a prime example of the brand’s expertise and ability to overcome technical challenges to create exceptional timepieces.
The Diver Atoll features a 39 mm stainless steel case with polished and satin-brushed finishes, in which 80% of the steel is recycled —a reflection of Ulysse Nardin’s continuing commitment to sustainable practices that are manifested around the Diver collection. For additional elegance, the uni-directional rotating bezel is set with 40 brilliant cut diamonds —totaling approx. 0.80 carats—, while an additional 11 diamonds —approx. 0.12 carats— adorn the hour indexes, for a total of 0.92 carats in the watch. The watch is presented with a sport chic white rubber strap ref. 8163-182B1LE-9A-ATOLL/3A or a white alligator strap ref. 8163-182B1LE-9A-ATOLL/1A. The watch is water resistant to 300 meters.
