Ulysse Nardin – Classico Manufacture


Ulysse NardinClassico Manufacture Gold NEW

Introduces First In-house Movement for Classico Collection.

For the first time, Ulysse Nardin introduces a Classico Collection timepiece with an in-house movement conceived and developed exclusively by the manufacture.

Set within a classically designed timekeeper conveying purity in form and effortless elegance, the UN-320 caliber boasts a silicium hairspring and anchor escapement for supreme accuracy. On the watch’s dial, the hour, minutes, small seconds and date are at 6 o’clock – a stronghold of the Classico Collection’s basic design executions.

With the implementation of the movement in the new Classico Manufacture timepiece, wearers can now easily set the date backwards and forwards, a function offered largely by Ulysse Nardin; use the stop seconds feature with a mere pulling of the crown; and rely with confidence on the 48-hour power reserve.

Available in a striking sunray blue finish and a timeless eggshell version, both held in a 40 mm gold case, this latest addition to the Classico Collection shows that tailored style always makes a statement.
