Slim and sleek on the wrist, the very contemporary Diver 42mm models are designed for the deep but just as much at home in the city. Led by the Diver blue shark, they join the new school of shark-inspired diving watches launched by Ulysse Nardin in September. ALL THE ESSENTIAL DIVER CODES ARE HERE
As Ulysse Nardin has streamlined its product line-up over the last few years, the Diver family has become one of the collection’s anchors (if you’ll pardon the pun). Until now though, these mostly three-hand-and-date watches have been on the big side, sitting at 44mm or larger. Today that changes with the introduction of a new collection of Divers that preserve the aesthetics and details of …
With the Diver 42, Ulysse Nardin builds on the success of their Diver Chronometer 44collection that was introduced at the end of 2017 as a 2018 year model. The collection was well-received not only by bloggers and professional reviewers, but also by people who can buy a watch that retails for $8000-$12,000 USD, so they decided to make a more Spartan version of the Chronometer. As you can see on the image below, they preserve…
At 42 millimeters in diameter, the case can be described as “medium-sized” by modern standards and will probably fit an average wrist just fine. This model is approximately two millimeters smaller than the Diver Chronometer that it’s based on. Yet, understanding that some of their customers may want to have both models in their weekly rotation, Ulysse Nardin tried to make the experience of switching between the three-hander and the chronometer as seamless as practically possible. It looks like both versions have t…
In their earlier three-handers (like, for example, the 2013 Maxi Marine Diver (Ref. 266-33-8C/922) and more elegant 2009 Classico COSC model,) Ulysse Nardin used slightly modified versions of the then-omnipresent ETA 2892-A2 automatic movement. Robust and reliable, they were the obvious choice when you needed to build a luxury watch that wouldn’t give your service partners headaches during (and long after) the warranty period. However, after ETA SA significantly reduced the number of their calibers that …
I wanted to give the Diver 42 five stars out of five when it comes to overall legibility and readability, but the lack of Superluminova on the bezel ruined everything. Okay, not everything, of course, but it lost half a star in this part of the rating. The problem could be mitigated by a more prominent (or visually different from the rest of the pack) hour marker at 12 o’clock, but, again, no such luck. Yet, apart from this minor annoyance, the dial of the Diver 42 is almost perfect. It is clean and elegant, there is absolutely no visua…
The Replica Ulysse Nardin Diver 42 will come on sale at the beginning of the year 2019. At €5800 – 6800, it is overpriced if you take into account the plebeian movement that powers it. On the other hand, if money wasn’t an issue, yours truly would be the first one to throw a handful of cash into the monitor demanding the Swiss brand to take his money right now. I mean, the watch is so beautiful, it almost hurts.
