Inspired by its marine heritage and the most beautiful contemporary yachts, Ulysse Nardin's Marine Mega Yacht watch with a rich blue, grand-feu enamel dial is both visually arresting and highly complicated. The watch features a one-minute tourbillon with propeller blades on it, as well as an eight-day, anchor-shaped power-reserve indicator (80 hours) that is created using a unique windlass (or winch) chain and pulley system. The anchor moves up and down to indicate the level of power reserve while the watch is being wound. At the same time, with the winding of the watch, the moving chain wraps around a windlass that is visible via an aperture at 12 o'clock. That window is designed to resemble a ship's Chadburn control throttle. The new patent-pending UN-631 caliber consists of 504 hand-assembled and beautifully finished components. It also offers moonphase indication via a blue-silver orb, tide indications and coefficients.

Inspired by the sea, Ulysee Nardin not only expands nautical capabilities but channels the free spirit of untamed waves into timepieces that celebrate liberation. In a world filled with questions but no answers, the brand strived to create dependable and grounding watches.From its first marine chronometer to addressing endangered shark species through creating a balance wheel inspired by the animal's respite, Ulysee Nardin persistently produces timepieces that embody our world and make exploration possible. Whether in the Diver, Freak or Blast collection, the brand's models boast the multitude of personalities and release desires through technical innovation and manufacture.Its novel watches embody Ulysee Nardin's long-lived spirit through exceptional skeletal structures, visible sun trajectories and displaying of lunar cycles. Unveiled in 2022, the Freak S in particular is extraordinary in its ditching of a crown for bezel turn-time setting, vertically built features and double-oscillating system.
