Ulysse Nardin Launches Limited Edition Timepiece for Monaco Yacht Show
Ulysse Nardin, a brand steeped in nautical history, is participating for the fourth year as an official sponsor of the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show. To commemorate the occasion, the brand has introduced a new, limited-edition timepiece to its Marine Diver collection.The watch contains a self-winding movement, Caliber UN-26, equipped with a 42-hour power reserve (indicated on the dial at 12 o’clock) and an oversize date display (indicated in a round window at 6 o’clock, along with the small-seconds subdial). As on the previously released Black Sea and Blue Sea editions, the dial and the blue rubber strap are both embossed with a nautical-inspired wave pattern motif.The stainless-steel case, which is a generous 45.8 mm in diameter, has been treated with a sophisticated vulcanization process that gives it a blue rubber coating that the company says increases its comfort on the wrist. Its sapphire exhibition caseback is stamped with the emblem of the principality of Monaco.The

Mercedes Gleitz DID NOT swim the English Channel wearing a Rolex. She wore the watch on her SECOND attempt, which failed.

I did not want to wait
Long story short, I have been looking at the 5167 for years. However, I was never really serious about it based on the cost. But as I wind my way down the watch path, I find myself always gravitating towards a few specific things. And this is not to say that I don't like other things about watches. Yet, if I am to find what I believe my perfect watch (which I am still on the hunt for, even if it is not possible), these are the things I like.Smaller size. Still 40mm, but on the small size. Everything today seems so big. I am not a big guy. 5'10 and 175 lbs with a 7 wrist. And while I love some of my bigger watches. If I am picking what I really prefer, it is a Daytona sized watch. Lume. I cant get over it. I just love it. A date. I am ok and appreciate no date watches. In fact, in many ways, I prefer them. But if I am going for my perfect watch, I do prefer a date. Water depth rating enough so that I can go anywhere and do anything. (I will never dive, so that is not a
