Ulysse Nardin DIVER X Skeleton Watch - Glacier White

Posted by lifata on April 6th, 2023

Diving watches can be said to be the favorite sports style of many watch lovers. Since the beginning of the new year in 2023, many brands have also come up with their own new diving works. It is often said that the Ulysse Nardin diving series DIVER X skeleton watch is a watch that perfectly combines advanced watchmaking skills and sports watch style, and it is also a new star series of Ulysse Nardin in recent years. Just in January, Ulysse Nardin replica launched a new dazzling white model for it. Today, I will give you a detailed introduction to see how it performs from appearance to performance.

The DIVER X skeleton watch can be said to be a clever combination, Ulysse Nardin's representative DIVER X diving watch, and the design essence of the skeleton X watch. The first blue model was launched in 2021, and it was very popular once it was released, and then a new black model was launched again in June last year. But it is a pity that the first two generations are limited, and the actual market performance is quite popular. And the biggest good news this new product brings to watch friends is that this dazzling white model is no longer limited to sale, so that watch friends who like Ulysse Nardin’s unique hollow + diving design can get a better start.

The design theme of the new work follows Ulysse Nardin's consistent glacier white, which is a titanium silver-gray shell, and the matching of the white theme is clean and elegant.

The size of the titanium case is 44mm and the thickness is 16mm. The overall size is too large, but because of the lightness of titanium and the ergonomic design of Ulysse Nardin, it is still very comfortable to use. On the shell decoration, the front is brushed, and the surface side is fully polished. From the polishing, we can also know that Ulysse Nardin uses high-grade grade 5 titanium, and only grade 5 titanium with six aluminum four vanadium can be polished. There is also an iconic nameplate design on the side of the watch to engrave the watch number.

Although grade 5 titanium is more difficult to process, it is still widely used in high-precision fields such as aerospace, medicine, and racing. Ulysse Nardin also takes a fancy to its low density, light weight, high hardness, and good corrosion resistance. There is a screw-in crown on the other side of the watch, which is tightly protected by white rubber shoulder guards on both sides to prevent the crown from being opened due to scratches and collisions during diving. The water resistance is 200 meters, so regular diving is no problem.

It is worth mentioning that the diving bezel of the watch has been replaced by the carbon positive ion material Carbonium® and the special carbon fiber bezel of the previous two works, to the more common Ulysse Nardin perfect replica watches diving watch, with a built-in rubber rotating bezel. And decorated with classic vinyl records.

The hollowed-out dial of the watch, from the front, the core element X of the brand is integrated into the hollowed-out design as the bridge plate of the movement. The three-dimensional geometry X structure also has delicate vertical brushing and polishing treatment respectively, which has an obvious contrast effect, and the readability of the disk surface will not be affected by the hollowing out. However, I have talked with watch friends before. The current hollow design of the brand is undoubtedly Diver X Skeleton, which is more transparent. Like the blast hollow tourbillon, it is another kind of mechanical stacking beauty.

The hands, hour markers, and the starting position of the bezel at 0 o'clock are all coated with light blue Super-LumiNova luminous coating.

The X-element structure, in fact, clearly organizes the watch movement into four areas, with the setting needle system on the right, the barrel on the top, and the transmission wheel train on the left, plus a lot of blank space. The most important bright spot of the entire disk is set at the bottom. This whole set of silicon escapement is a demonstration of Ulysse Nardin’s strength in the application of silicon materials. The entire large silicon balance wheel is very eye-catching. The running effect is also significantly lighter than the conventional balance wheel, and due to the lighter nature of silicon, the silicon escapement silicon balance wheel and other hardware devices. In terms of performance, there are also many advantages, such as less power consumption of the balance wheel, and good performance in anti-magnetic and anti-shock.

Turn over the High fake watch, and let us continue to appreciate the UN 372 movement, which is transformed from the UN 371 manual movement, with an upgraded automatic winding, and an X-shaped automatic rotor, which can also have a front and back echo with the front X structure. The fully wound movement can provide 96 hours of dynamic storage.
