The first watch brand to release a timepiece with a case made entirely from recycled fishing nets (in 2020), Ulysse Nardin now takes its two-year-old concept watch to reality with a serial-production Diver Net watch. For this new watch, the strap is made using polyamide fishing nets that are recovered from the ocean by French brand Fil&Fab and then transformed into pellets for manufacturing. The black parts of the case are made from 60% recycled fishing net Nylo®, and 40% upcycled carbon fiber/ Carbonium® comprises the side parts and caseback. The bezel insert is made from carbonium that is taken from the excess waste in the manufacture of jet plane parts. The metal used for the inner case and bezel is made from 80% recycled steel. Just 200 pieces will be made.

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.
