Monaco, September 27th, 2018 - The tide has come rushing in at the Monaco Yacht Show, bringing with it four brash new models in Ulysse Nardin’s Diver Chronometer collection. Already a favorite among free spirits, the Diver has a new, contemporary and eye-catching appearance both outside and in.

In addition to the deep blue and all-black versions, this fresh line includes the Diver Great White and a Monaco Limited Edition. These robust, elegant timepieces will be presented by our own armada of modern-day Ulysses at the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show, marking the beginning of the countdown to an exhilarating new adventure in diving watches.

A supernova among mere stars, the new Diver Chronometer redefines functional elegance with its audacious design. A diving watch crafted to withstand up to three hundred meters of potentially deadly water pressure, its inverted, concave bezel with domed sapphire glass is a breakthrough in exquisite watchmaking.

The face heralds the mechanical marvel of the UN-118 movement with its silicium technology - a specialty of the Manufacture - within its 44 mm case, visible through the open back.

Superluminova on the indexes and hands makes the hours and minutes visible not only in the dark of night but also at great depths. The face is adorned with a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock and a date and small seconds at 6 o’clock, all nestled within the unidirectional rotating bezel.

The numbers on the face have been redrawn to read 0-15-30-45. Even the rubber and titanium strap of the Diver has been cleverly reworked with the clasp replaced by a pin buckle and streamlined with just one easily identifiable Ulysse Nardin signature “element”.  Sturdy, blue rubber guards protect the crown.

Free diver and Ulysse Nardin ambassador Fred Buyle explains why Ulysse Nardin is a key partner on his expeditions. “The main advantage of freediving is that we don’t have a lot of gear. I basically only travel with a wetsuit, dive watch, a pair of fins, a mask, and of course my photo equipment. A dive watch is the most crucial accessory for a free diver.

When you’re freediving, you have a special relationship to time — sometimes it passes fast and other times it seems to slow down or even stop. Your watch almost becomes a friend, so I am always wearing my Ulysse Nardin Diver timepieces. I rely on my watch to monitor my perception of time. An automatic watch is key as it gives you the peace of mind that you won’t run out of battery in the middle of a remote expedition.”

Ulysse Nardin’s links to the sea run deep. A recognized pioneer of watchmaking innovation since 1846, the Manufacture’s early renown was built on the peerless precision and reliability of its marine chronometers – essential navigational instruments that helped seafarers determine longitude by means of celestial navigation. In continuing the development of its line of dive watches, Ulysse Nardin reaffirms its position of watchmaker of the oceans.

King of the oceans, the shark represents stealth, strength and strategy and the Diver Great White embodies these qualities in contemporary adventurers of the land and sea. The Diver Great is a limited edition of 300 pieces.

Diver Chronometer Monaco Limited Edition

The instantly recognizable Monaco Limited Edition in this newly created design has an image of the Monegasque flag at 12 o’clock. The unique calendar disk has a specificity that corresponds directly to the Monaco Yacht Show; the numbers 26, 27, 28 and 29 in red mirror the dates of the 2018 event, held in the Principality’s Port Hercules on the French Riviera.

“2018 is a special year since marking the 10 year anniversary of our collaboration with the Polo Gold Cup Gstaad. A decade of memories reminds us of all that we have created together. By sharing common values and philosophy, we have celebrated many firsts!”

Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO Hublot

10 years on, Hublot Loves Gstaad: its authenticity, its magic, its ‘Swissitude’! The figure 10, symbolically considered as the most perfect, tells of all the firsts that the Polo Gold Cup Gstaad and Hublot have celebrated together with over a decade of innovation.

For its 23rd edition, the Hublot Polo Gold Cup gathered more than 2,000 spectators on the grass field of the Bernese Alps. In a setting that will never tire they came to admire the presence and technique of the Bank Eric Sturdza team which won the final!

It’s already been 10 years for Hublot and the Polo Gold Cup Gstaad! Ten is a highly symbolic number that contains the figure 1, a metaphor for unity, and the figure 0, which represents matter and chaos. Two meanings that echo the Hublot philosophy.

Unity, via its desire to unite materials, universes and personalities through fusion. Matter and chaos define the most emblematic of Hublot’s watches — the Big Bang, which, like the universe, was a lso born of matter and chaos.

Gstaad. a magical and authentic place in the heart of rolling and lush landscapes, dotted with timber chalets, where Hublot have returned year after year to spend the end of its summer. A typically Swiss picture postcard setting, so beloved of Hublot.

Review of a prolific partnership. Through the Hublot Polo Gold Cup Gstaad, the watchmaker has celebrated many firsts. Looking back at some of the innovation over the decade of innovation:

• 2011 Launch of the Big Bang Chukker Bang. The first Hublot watch inspired by and dedicated to polo, with its removable titanium grill protecting the sapphire glass during the game.

• 2015 An important year that marked two anniversaries at once — 10 years of the Big Bang and 20 years of the Hublot Polo Gold Cup Gstaad.

• 2016 A year that marked the launch of the Classic Fusion “Chukker”. A bi-compax chronograph in “Earth” sh ades whose counter at 9 o’clock measures the 7.5 minute duration of each chukker.

This year also marked the first Chinese team participation in the tournament with the Tang Polo Club of Beijing, led by its captain and owner Shilai Liu. Under the colours of the Hublot team they went on to win the 2016 competition. It was also the year in which Ferrari Switzerland became an official partner. The old adage, the friends of my friends are my friends, rang true.

• 2018    Together, Hublot and the Polo Gold Cup Gstaad celebrate the tenth anniversary of their partnership.

As a partner of the most prestigious polo clubs and the circuit’s emblematic tournaments, Hublot is establishing itself in the most kingly of sports. 2,000 years old, the now universal sport of polo merges power, speed and precision in a spirit of elegance and social interaction. It’s no wonder why Hublot has loved polo for 10 years.
