Ulysse Nardin raises its devotion to shark conservation around the world to the next level with the release of the new Diver Chrono Great White. Ulysse Nardin has always had sharks on its radar and proudly announces its increasing support of a new fleet of shark conservation initiatives and partners by donating 1% of annual sales of all “shark watches” to support non-profit organizations focused on sharks.
Partnering with SharkTrust, the leading European shark conservation charity actively working to reform unsustainable and unmanaged fisheries and the supply chain that drives the global consumption of shark products, through legislation and effective conservation actions. Ulysse Nardin is also adding a new friend of the brand to the family, Mike Coots. He is a Hawaii native who became an amputee when he lost his right leg in a tiger shark attack at 18 years old while bodyboarding. Mike soon realized the importance of preservation and has since become an advocate for saving sharks in an effort to maintain balance in the ecosystem. Celebrating its new community of “shark” friends and partners including world-renown shark experts, divers, universities, and non-profits, Ulysse Nardin unveils a stunning, shark-themed limited edition of the 44 mm Diver Chrono.

In 2010, Ulysse Nardin presented its very first Diver Hammerhead shark watch and years later, the brand introduced the Diver Great White in 2018, the Diver Blue Shark in 2019, and the Diver Lemon Shark in 2021.
The new Diver Chrono Great White is cased in a 44 mm sandblasted and satin-finished titanium case and displays a white, unidirectional, rotating, rubberized bezel. A contemporary and functional model designed specifically for the deep, is powered by the automatic calibre UN-150 with a 48-hour power reserve and silicium technology that includes an escapement wheel, anchor, and balance spring in Sicilicum
The watch features a 30-minute counter, a 12- hour counter, and a small second counter with a date. Touches of blue and white decorate the grey dial. The lettering “GREAT WHITE” appears below the Ulysse Nardin logo. And the silhouette of the animal —with superluminova insert— is the key signature of the white rubber strap, while the grey of the dial is reminiscent of shark skin. The concave bezel with domed sapphire glass and bright superluminova on the 12 o’clock marker —with a 0— creates a sleek look designed for those who consider exploring the depths of the ocean a personal challenge.
Engineered to withstand 300-meter depth, the new diver watch is designed to inhabit the undersea environment right alongside its namesake. The Diver Chronograph 44 mm Limited Edition Great White is available in a limited series of just 300 pieces.
