Ulysse Nardin has introduced two new wristwatches, doubling its Marine Tourpilleur in size. Classic black or gunmetal grey, these lean clean modern machines are every bit as sleek and stremlined as the navy destroyer class of torpedo boats from which they take their name.
The Marine Torpilleur presents itself as a less formal, more contemporary version of the iconic Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer and is aimed at a younger clientele. Yet it traces its heritage back to innovations of the early nineteenth century. Sometimes, you can have it all.

Initially launched with white and blue dials, the Marine Tourpilleur fleet is now reinforced with two stunning editions: rose gold with a black and gold dial, and a Boutique-only version in stainless steel with a grey dial.
Inspired by Ulysse Nardin’s marine heritage yet fully modernized for daily urban wear, the Marine Tourpilleur is comfortable to wear and easy on the eye. A true COSC-certified chronometer, it represents contemporary watch design in its finest hour – the culmination of generations of craftsmanship and savoir-faire.

Elegantly elongated Roman numerals mark the hours. The graceful, poire-style hands are in rose gold, as are the „Haut“ (high) and „Bas“ (low) indications of the power reserve. The small seconds counter at 6 o’clock encircles the date window and the „1864“-logo – a nod to the year the house was founded. The dial is is framed by a thin flange and protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

The 42-mm-case has been completely redesigned, with lighter, more elongated lugs and a thinner, fluted bezel. The crown is screw-down and engraved with the Ulysse Nardin logo. The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters.
The Marine Torpilleur is powered by the Marine Chronometer’s in-house UN-118 calibre. This automatic movement provides a power reserve of up to 60 hours and can be seen through the open case back.

Ulysse Nardin fits these watches with color-coordinated alligator straps.
