![]() Ulysse Nardin Monaco YS Maxi Marine Diver from 2009 This begins with the black dial boasting a wave pattern simulating the movement of the seas (perhaps even the waves of the Mediterranean itself?), offset by red gold elements around the subsidiary seconds and on the partially luminescent hands. The excitement and glamour of the exhibition situated in the extended harbor of the rocky port on the Côte d’Azur is wonderfully captured in the almost all-black look of the timepiece. The second was a watch made especially for the brand’s debut as an exhibitor at the world’s highest profile boat exhibition: the limited edition Monaco YS Maxi Marine Diver. To mark this event, the brand made two important introductions: the first was the highly anticipated Moonstruck, a watch containing an astronomical complication that allows it to display not only the motion of the sun and the moon around the earth, but also the tides and their trends at any given geographic location (see Moonstruck Again: How Ulysse Nardin Never Ceases To Amaze). Ulysse Nardin exhibited for the first time at the Monaco Boat Show in 2009. The colorful timepiece was also available in 18-karat pink gold in an edition of 999 pieces. The Blue Seal was limited to 1,846 pieces in stainless steel to commemorate the company’s founding year. This spectacular movement is visible through the sapphire crystal display back. Where necessary, these metal parts have also been reworked to accommodate the blue coating, which is one micron thick and lends the components tremendous hardness they would otherwise not have. The stationery components of the Blue Seal’s automatic movement have also been treated with a stainless blue titanium-based alloy to continue the theme all the way to the mechanics of the timepiece. Ulysse Nardin Blue Seal Maxi Marine Chronograph from 2008 Up to this point, Ulysse Nardin had offered the Maxi Marine Chronometer 41 mm, and a diver’s version in a 42.7 mm case. The Maxi Marine Chronometer arrived in 2007, a powerful watch whose case came in at 43 mm. This featured three C.O.S.C.-certified special edition pink gold watches from the Marine line: Marine Chronometer 1846 (symbolizing Christopher Columbus’s ship, the Nina), Marine Diver Chronometer 1846 (the Pinta), and the above-mentioned Annual Calendar Chronograph (the Santa Maria). ![]() The Annual Calendar Chronograph could be purchased individually on a rubber strap with a pink gold deployant clasp or as part of the exclusive Discovery Set limited to 25 pieces, created to honor the discovery of America. Ulysse Nardin 2003 Discovery Set limited to 25 pieces featuring 3 C.O.S.C.-certified special edition pink gold watches from the Marine line: Marine Chronometer 1846 (the ‘Nina’), Marine Diver Chronometer 1846 (the ‘Pinta’), and the Annual Calendar Chronograph (the ‘Santa Maria’)
