Since its creation in 1846, the independent Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin has been anchored to the high seas. Dozens of the world’s navies once relied on its marine chronometers to provide essential navigational assistance and the Maison’s reputation for supreme mechanical accuracy stretched across continents. Almost 180 years later, Ulysse Nardin remains a pioneer of precision mechanical watches.

Now, Ulysse Nardin returns to the water with the Diver Hammerhead Shark, a muscular, high-performing watch that captures both the Manufacture’s disruptive approach to high horology and its continuing commitment to ocean conservation.

The watch was created by Ulysse Nardin to tell the story of shark conservation and to raise funds for non-profit organisations dedicated to the protection of these species. Previous editions have celebrated the Great White Shark, the Lemon Shark and the Blue Shark. This new edition is named after the majestic Hammerhead Shark.

 ccording to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List, the global populations of all recorded Hammerhead Shark species are in decline. The Scalloped and Great Hammerhead are both listed by the IUCN as ‘critically endangered’ due to overfishing, pollution and climate change.

The release of the Diver Hammerhead Shark is supported by Ulysse Nardin Brand Ambassador Mike Coots. Mike lost a leg to a tiger shark as a teenager and has since become a passionate advocate for greater understanding and protection of the world’s shark populations. Ulysse Nardin is proud to call Mike a friend and to benefit from his passion and knowledge.

MIKE COOTS:
AN ADVOCATE FOR SHARKS

After a life-changing shark attack left him with one leg, Mike Coots determined to devote his life to shark advocacy. This is his story.

Mike Coots was just 18 years old when his life changed forever. Bodyboarding off the coast of Hawaii’s Kauai Island, he felt a sudden and painful tug on his right leg. It had been bitten off by a Tiger Shark. A tussle ensued, Mike only escaping with his life after punching the shark on the nose.

While many shark attack survivors would develop a life-long fear of the water, Mike’s terrifying ordeal only made him love it more. Friends bought him a camera so he could photograph surfers from the shore while he recovered from amputation, but only a month after the surgery he was back in the ocean.

Fitted with a prosthetic leg, he learned to ride the waves once again. While life would never be the same, he adapted quickly, seizing new opportunities that came his way. He became a professional photographer and artist, and learned to dive, shadowing marine biologists and documenting their work studying sharks.

“It’s funny how a 10-second moment can change your life forever,” says Mike. “Over the years I fell in love more and more with sharks. Not only are they beautiful, they are also imperative for a healthy planet Earth.”

Rather than resenting the creatures that claimed his leg and nearly his life, he developed a deep empathy for them and determined to understand them better, not as ‘killers’ but as apex predators and keystone species in a complex ecosystem. In doing so, he learned quickly of the profound threats to sharks posed by overfishing, pollution and climate change.

Today, Mike’s work as a photographer, artist and advocate for marine conservation have made him one of the world’s most respected voices on sharks and their habitats. His efforts were vital to the successful campaign to pass legislation that in 2010 made it illegal to possess shark fins in Hawaii.

“Sharks have been on this planet for over 450 million years,” he says. “That alone says how important they must be to it.”

In 2022, Mike Coots became a Brand Ambassador for Ulysse Nardin and has since collaborated with the Swiss watchmaking Maison to raise awareness about the need to protect threatened shark species.

“The ocean nearly took my life, but it’s given me so much more,” he says. “We have a word in Hawaiian, ‘kuleana’. It means responsibility. My way of giving back is to be an advocate for sharks.”

DEEP DIVING WITH THE
DIVER[HAMMERHEAD SHARK]

The Ulysse Nardin Diver Hammerhead Shark is a high-performance dive watch created to help raise funds and awareness for the plight of one of the world’s most threatened species.

The Diver Hammerhead Shark is based on the Ulysse Nardin Diver, a high-horology dive watch that builds on the independent Swiss Maison’s unique maritime heritage, which began almost 180 years ago. It comes with 300 metres of water resistance, a uni-directional rotating bezel for timing dives, lumed detailing, and a clearly visible running seconds hand that indicates the watch is operational.

The watch is powered by the flagship UN-118 Manufacture Movement, a reliable self-winding calibre with an escapement made of DiamonSil and balance spring in silicon, Ulysse Nardin’s revolutionary antimagnetic, lubrication-free silicon technology. It has a 60-hour power reserve, indicated by a gauge at 12 o’clock, and a date-corrector that allows for forward and backward date setting.

THE CASE

The Diver [HAMMERHEAD SHARK] has a 44mm titanium case finished with a deep ocean blue PVD treatment. The grippy uni-directional rotating bezel has a rubberised blue insert and features a 60-minute scale for timing dives.

THE DIAL

 

The blue sandblasted dial is enhanced with a red and blue X, echoing a motif that repeats through the
Ulysse Nardin collection and that communicates the explosive nature of the Maison’s approach to
watchmaking design and technology.

At 6 o’clock, the dial features a small seconds with a lumed running seconds hand, an essential component in a dive watch that must be able to indicate that the watch is running and keeping good time in low-light conditions. Tucked neatly into this is a round date window.

THE POWER

 

The Diver [HAMMERHEAD SHARK] offers a 60-hour power reserve, which is indicated by a lumed hand.

THE CROWN

 

The watch’s notched, screw-down crown is flanked by two red crown protectors designed to deflect
accidental impacts.

THE STRAPS

 

The watch comes with a choice of two straps. First in blue rubber with a red Hammerhead Shark motif, a
blue PVD titanium tang buckle and a single blue PVD titanium link decorated with the Ulysse Nardin logo. The second strap is in a blue fabric with red edging and a Velcro scratch fastening system.

CASE BACK

 

The watch’s blue-PVD-coated titanium case back is engraved with a Hammerhead Shark motif and red detailing indicating the model number, limited edition and 300-metre water resistance.

The back of the single titanium link that features in the rubber strap option is engraved with the 1% for the Planet logo.

ULYSSE NARDIN
NO BOUNDARIES. SINCE 1846.

Ulysse Nardin is an independent Swiss Maison disrupting Haute Horlogerie to advance watchmaking through pioneering technology and unmatched craftsmanship. Founded in 1846 in Le Locle, Switzerland, the Manufacture quickly became renowned for its precision timing instruments, critical to ocean exploration. Over five generations, the Nardin family produced the most reliable marine chronometers, trusted by leading navies and used by scientists in fields like geodesy, astronomy, and earth sciences.

Ulysse Nardin has led innovation in chronometry, in-house movements, and material R&D, accumulating over 4,300 technical and design awards. The Manufacture introduced groundbreaking pieces like the first chiming watch with Jacquemarts automatons, the Astrolabium Galileo Galilei, and the first perpetual calendar that could be set both forwards and backwards via the crown. Pioneering the use of silicon in horology, Ulysse Nardin also developed DiamonSil®, a revolutionary surface treatment.

The Freak, launched in 2001, epitomized Ulysse Nardin’s unique approach, combining high technology and craftsmanship. More than 20 years later, the Freak [ONE] was awarded the “Most Iconic Watch” prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

As part of the first collective of independent watchmaking manufactures, with its sister company Girard-Perregaux, Ulysse Nardin continues to push the boundaries of horology, redefining expectations for a storied heritage brand, with boutiques worldwide including flagships in Geneva, Silicon Valley, Dubai, and Shanghai.
