With a nautical history as profound as the oceans, the timekeep-ing instruments of the Swiss watchmaker have been guiding sailors with exact precision for many a decade. It seems a natural extension of that history for the manufacture to become official sponsor of the Monaco Yacht Show, an honor it has held for the last eight years.

Ulysse Nardin pays tribute to this high point in the yachting calendar with a Limited Edition Diver Chronograph Monaco. Clothed in the smart red and blue shared by other Monaco Limited Edition timepieces, the Diver Chronograph commemorates the event with a minute counter showing the heraldic pattern of the Principality of Monaco, also present on the sapphire crystal case back. Monaco Yacht Show 2016 is written on the blue dial, while the indexes and hands show the colors of the Monaco flag.

The deep connection Ulysse Nardin has with the sea is present in every aspect of this highly collectible timepiece, of which only 100 stainless steel pieces have been made. A fully functional diver, as well as a precision chrono-graph, it is ready for anything the ocean can throw at it, making it an ideal timepiece sailors and all those who love the sea.

The Diver Chronograph Monaco holds a self-winding movement: the in-house designed Caliber UN-150 with its silicium escapement. Seconds hand in the center, small seconds at 9 o'clock, 30 minutes at 3 o'clock, 12 hour counter and a round date window at 6 o'clock offer complete chronograph timekeeping.

The diving DNA is revealed as much by the watch's oversized 44mm case as its unidirectional diving bezel - a security measure to prevent accidental changes to the dive time. The outside of the rotating bezel is fluted, as if to echo the wave motif etched in rubber on the stainless steel.

Rubber coats of the screw-down security crown too, ensuring grip and an exceptional water resistance to 300 meters - along with its other traits, the mark of a true div-ing watch. For legibility as much as to delight the eye, the Diver Chronograph Monaco is a perfect fusion between form and function for which Ulysse Nardin is known.

LONGINES – HERITAGE Military Automatic














LONGINESHERITAGE Military Automatic NEW

The Longines Heritage Military – Military styling and distinctive character

Swiss watchmaker Longines blends history and imagination in the design of this watch, influenced by army aesthetics. Giving a fresh cast to the lines of a dial used regularly in the brand’s early 20th century timepieces, the Longines Heritage Military displays elegant restraint that is resolutely modern. The 12 large Arabic numerals adorning the matt black dial make it easy to tell the time at a glance.

Longines is expanding its Heritage collection with this impressively distinctive watch. The charismatic man who wears the Longines Heritage Military draws many admiring glances to his wrist, secure in the knowledge that its great aesthetics do not come at the cost of reliability. Both qualities are cornerstones of the winged hourglass brand, which draws on a rich legacy with this design, derived from a 1918 watch from the Longines Museum’s historical collection at the company’s Saint-Imier headquarters.

While the Longines Heritage Military echoes the disciplined, robust design of military watches, it also showcases the brand’s watchmaking expertise brilliantly. Its satin-brushed case, complemented with a fluted crown, guarantees a timeless appeal.

The matt black dial is adorned with 12 large painted Arabic numerals coated with Super-LumiNova®. Combined with elegant “Breguet”-type hands and a train track chapter ring, they ensure the dial can be easily read even in conditions of poor visibility.
