New release: Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is the planets lightest mechanical diver’s view

 

Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] 3743-170-2A/0A

Since the flagship for Watches & Wonders Geneva 2025, Ulysse Nardin has just unveiled the actual world’s lightest mechanical diver’s watch. Made from high-tech remade materials, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is driven by a extremely skeletonized automatic movement, along with bridges machined from ti and, like the rest of the selection, water-resistant to 200 yards; however , the entire watch (including the strap) weighs simply 52 grams, less than half the of the brand’s standard Diver X Skeleton model.

Despite sharing exactly the same overall silhouette as the brand’s standard diver’s models, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] measures 44mm in diameter and 14. 7mm thick, making it 1 millimeter thinner than the Diver X Skeleton friend. As you’d expect, the very best of the case features a domed sky-blue crystal surrounded by a unidirectional rotating chronograph bezel, as the back of the watch features a screw-down exhibition caseback with a signature bank winding crown at three that screws into the center case to ensure the 200 feets of water resistance this product offers. With this in mind, and in order to considerably reduce the weight of the brand new Diver [Air], Ulysse Nardin had to resort to components different from those typically utilized in its dive watch production. high quality replica watches

The Diver [Air]’s situation is made from titanium and graphite, but rather than working with conventional suppliers, Ulysse Nardin caused forward-thinking innovators in the field of great materials to source these types of materials. Titanium is used for your internal container that homes the movement, as well as the watch’s bezel, crown, and caseback. The titanium used in the particular Diver [Air] is 90% made from reproced materials and is manufactured by TiFast, a leading titanium producer, as well as ThyssenKrupp, a specialist in supplies and engineering solutions dedicated to automotive technology and sea systems. TiFast recycles ti from the Swiss biomedical business, which is then processed through ThyssenKrupp using its various technology and heat treatment methods to increase enhance the alloy's processing and also deformation properties.

The rest of the case is made from Nylo®-Foil, a carbon composite materials that is lighter than standard carbon fiber. Nylo®-Foil is composed of 60 per cent Nylo® (a polymer produced from recycled fishing nets simply by French recycling startup Ruse & Fab) and little less than a half carbon fiber, which comes from typically the IMOCA sailboat manufactured by CDK Technologies. The carbon fiber is actually recycled and returned in order to its original fiber condition by Extracthive, a company devoted to the circular economy, after which Lavoisier Composites processes often the Nylo® and carbon fiber to produce the Nylo®-Foil material. At the same time, the bezel insert from the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is made of CarbonFoil, which is made from 100% reused carbon fiber from IMOCA sailboats that are chopped and compacted into a sturdy structure having a unique marble-like forged co2 pattern.

Rather than a weighty rubber strap like most brands’ dive watches, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] comes with two ultra-light elastic fabric straps. Both straps are bright fruit or white, but besides the color difference, the two band are identical, both using a wraparound design and a Velcro-style connection system. Since the connectors are connected to the case through Velcro, the two included ties can be easily replaced with no use of any tools, and also the Velcro-style closure also offers users with a nearly unlimited range of adjustability. Additionally , because the strap is essentially just a bit of stretchy fabric with a black plastic pull tab, just adds a few grams associated with weight, and the Diver [Air] weighs 46 grams for the watch mind, and only 52 grams together with one of the included straps.

Creating a lightweight circumstance and strap certainly assisted keep the watch’s weight straight down, but to create a watch that is close to breaking the document, the movement inside additionally needed to be redesigned. The Quality and reliability UN-374 automatic movement, noticeable through two sapphire deposits on either side in the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] case, is extremely skeletonized, with bridges along with mainplates made from 90 % recycled titanium to further decrease weight. The skeletonized ti bridges have been redesigned to create a triangle for optimum strength, the skeletonized mainspring barrel has been changed to the flying configuration, and by removing the upper barrel bridge, Ulysse Nardin was able to further slow up the weight of the movement. replica Jacob and Co. watches

The Cal. UN-374 motion consists of 199 individual components, is set with 21 gems, beats at 21, six hundred vph (3 Hz), and it has a power reserve of ninety hours. Similar to other in one facility movements of Ulysse Nardin, the Cal. UN-374 comes with an oversized balance wheel, in whose hairspring and anchor-shaped get away wheel are made of silicon. The actual 90% recycled titanium utilized for the plates and connections is produced by TiFast in addition to Thyssenkrupp, and the silicon found in the regulating organ originates from recycled silicon wafers supplied by Sigatec. At the same time, the one of the Cal. UN-374 continues to be hollowed out to the essential components, and the use of large regions of hollowing out and lightweight elements makes the movement weigh just 7 grams, but it may withstand shocks of more than 5, 000g. swiss replica watches

Dive watches and skeleton timepieces usually exist at opposing ends of the horological range, and it is undeniable that the very hollowed-out display is completely reverse to the legibility that jump watches usually have. That being said, ultra-lightweight skeletonized sports watches have grown to be a very popular horological style, these types of haute horlogerie creations aren't intended to be purely utilitarian items, but rather to be technical displays that demonstrate the producing prowess of their respective brand names. The Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is designed not to be the world’s most effective dive watch, but to become the world’s lightest dive watch, and its appearance is designed to reveal this extreme, with around 80% of the space inside the case being completely busy by air.

The Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] forces the boundaries of one metric without compromising the others, as well as although the new Diver [Air] weighs less than 50 % of the brand’s standard Diver X Skeleton model, this still offers a proper automated movement with the same 200-meter depth rating, and also gives users with 25% lengthier power reserve. replica luxury watches

 

replica Breitling watches TOP TIME is here again?

In March 2020, Breitling launched a TOP TIME limited edition watch. This vintage watch from the 1960s, model: A23310121G1X1, is only available on Breitling e-commerce channels. The dial of the Zorro face, the chronometer movement, the retro style, and the perennial discounts offered by e-commerce channels have not made this "net celebrity" watch hard to find. Unlike many popular limited editions, this TOP TIME watch is still "enough in stock" in Breitling's major e-commerce channels.

Regarding the TOP TIME limited edition watch launched by Breitling last year, why is it so embarrassing? I think there are mainly the following points: First, although it is a chronograph, considering the cost and price, it is not equipped with the B01 movement, which is the essence of the brand, but the 23-type movement, which has the advantage of cost. Low, the disadvantage is that the power reserve is average, the movement is relatively thick, and the rudder is loud. In addition, it is a dense bottom design. Those who want to see the polished movement of this movement can only be disappointed. Second, the thickness of the movement brings the thickness of the entire watch to 14.27 mm. This can be said to be a common problem of the unified machine, that is, the sacrifice in thickness is relatively large. For those who like thin and light watches, the TOP TIME limited edition watch is obviously inappropriate.replica Breitling Bentley Motors T Watches

Third, in order to match the retro style, this watch is matched with a leather strap similar to suede, which is not resistant to water and dirt. Although the leather strap is retro, its practicality is indeed worse. Wouldn't it be better to change to a brown leather strap like the IWC pilot? Fourth, there will be problems with channels and prices. Due to the use of e-commerce channels for sale, this also makes it impossible to try on offline counters. In terms of price, friends who are familiar with Breitling know that Breitling has good discounts in both the primary and secondary markets. E-commerce channels are special and price fluctuations are common occurrences. This has also led to complaints or even complaints from some watch friends who "buy watches at a high price", and to a certain extent they also persuaded some watch friends on the official website to withdraw.

Not long ago, Breitling released a TOP TIME DEUS limited edition Replica discount swiss watches , model: A233101A1A1X1, which is relatively conservative and stable.

Deus Ex Machina is an Australian lifestyle brand. According to the founder of Dell Jennings, this is an "all-encompassing" brand. Unfortunately, the brand does not have much recognition in China and it is difficult to compete with the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people. Resonate.

When seeing this watch for the first time, it is easy for people to think that this is a "TAG Heuer" replica watch? It feels like this because there is a shield-shaped LOGO at six o'clock. If you don't pay attention to the "Letters in the Shield", it is easy to think of "TAG Heuer". However, this "letter in the shield" is the uppercase English TOP TIME above DEUS, which also shows the identity of this replica automatic watches .

In terms of detailed design, the orange hour and minute hands and the red lightning second hand make people feel full of vitality. The two "small plates" are designed in black, and the beige large dial forms the effect of a "panda plate". Between the two o'clock and three o'clock positions of the chronograph inner circle, we also see orange and red color blocks, corresponding to the corresponding speed scales.

The back of the watch is a motorcycle, which is cuter than the TOP TIME limited edition watch launched last year. Before, it was just a steel plate with LOGO, which was quite boring. As for the movement, there is nothing to talk about. There is no improvement on the 23-type movement that has been changed to the standard machine.replica Porsche Design 1919 watches

It is worth mentioning that the Breitling TOP TIME DEUS limited edition watch uses a perforated leather strap, which is very motorized and reminds people of a motorcycle with a pull-out style. It is obviously more than the previous suede leather strap. Be impatient, this is also an improvement of the new TOP TIME series.

Finally, I talked about whether the TOP TIME DEUS limited edition watch is worth buying? In my opinion, this watch still lacks the essence of Breitling brand. Although the "integrated machine" has reached the accuracy of the observatory, it is not a Breitling self-produced movement. Speaking of the design, it does have some characteristics, but the movement is really still not ready for ignition, it is a more durable look.replica Carl F. Bucherer Manero Watches

1 of 2 Urwerk UR-103 prototypes had been found in stainless steel

A wristwatch that really changed the history of modern watches. (cliquez ici pour suivre le lien)">

Imagine seeing this particular watch at the Basel Worldwide Watch Fair in the year 2003. This watch is simply distorted. Urwerk was founded in 1996, but its UR-101 and UR-102 watches are still relatively little round cases, and for those people who are not trained, they can nevertheless serve as " traditional" timepieces. F. P. Journe’s Chronomètreà Résonance and Vianney Halter’s Antiqua are only a few years aged; Richard Mille, De Bethune and Harry Winston Gyvas projects have just started; MB& F is still a few years aside. The watch world is a much more conservative place, and UR-103 clearly shows the introduction of a new generation-they tend to be here to compete.

However , the UR-103 we have here is not one of the numerous production watches made with a number of precious metals and a variety of beautiful cases in the following 7 years. No, this is a lot more special than this. This really is UR-103 prototype #1. This is a watch shown to potential merchants at the Basel International View and Jewellery Fair within 2003, with the purpose of convincing them to shoot flyers with regard to Urwerk's crazy new function. There are a total of 3 prototypes, two of which were showed at Baselworld 2003, and another was produced before the official mass production. The former is made from stainless steel, because the brand does not have any capital to make gold wrist watches before the order is transferred, and the latter is made of precious metal and basically performs high quality control checks before the last watch case is produced. The second watch is in the Urwerk archive, but it is the personal collection of watch dealer as well as collector Steve Hallock, who else shared this news beside me a few weeks ago. You can see his personal ideas on the watch. No, this view is not for sale. Don't actually ask.

How did this enjoy evolve from the AHCI unit in Basel to the assortment of Steve in Los Angeles? Actually it is very simple. The watch has been originally sold to the owner of Westime, one of Urwerk's earliest suppliers, Westime is also in La, which may be an appreciation for his or her early support. A few years later on, Westime sold the watches in order to customers and shipped all of them from there to Steve previously this year. There is nothing ridiculous right here, and Urwerk happily verified to me that this is actually the main watch and has been in good shape all the time. Normally, watches happen to be in the " out of print" group, which is not the case, so it is fine to see the clean paper in this article so that we know what to cope with.

Hallock stated: " The UR-103 is probably the most important modern independent see, both for my personal journey within this industry and the history associated with what I like to call " contemporary timepieces". " " It can only Passing through outsiders to traditional techniques is usually a process of great development in society. Creating it needs extreme persistence, diligence and also creativity to sneak in. The creators did everything they might to create what they believed in. Exactly the same. It is very rare for a brand name to make such a prototype. It is existence is the product regarding Urwerk’s unique story along with historical timing. Usually, this specific ingenuity is abstractly dispersed throughout the brand or product, but in this case, all Concentrate on this replica swiss watches . "

The basic bones and body organs of UR-103 are below and explained. The shape of the watch case should be as it should be, even though it is made of stainless steel and has a rather rough industrial style complete; movement is as it should be; through the rotating satellite dish within the front to the earliest " control panel" display around the back of the watch, All shows are there. But there are some tiny quirks that further get this to prototype unique.

The back of this UR-103 offers two very attractive features. Very first, the minutes and secs hands do not match. You are gilded, the other is not. Your day before Baselworld, Urwerk's provider failed to deliver the last rare metal medal needed for the cp, and co-founder Felix Baumgartner had to improvise. He picked up a hand from the regular ETA movement, reduced this to his size, after which installed it on the observe. There is no time and resources to complement it. But this is not the only real abnormal hand on the back side of the watch. The power reserve indication uses a red second hand. The actual supplier did not have the money to cover making one hand red-colored, so they painted the standard hands red with the nail shine of Baumgartner’s brother’s partner. The hands are not also metal, but plastic. Non-traditional? of course. But this finished the work. (cliquez ici pour suivre le lien)">

Making this view presented many challenges with this ambitious young company. This particular watch is Urwerk's very first watch with a three-dimensional situation structure. UR-101 and 102 cases were originally hand-processed by Baumgartner's brother, however it was impossible to use UR-103. This means they have to confuse CNC machine tools with THREE DIMENSIONAL design tools, which provides its own challenges and advantages. Martin Frei, the co-founder of Baumgartner and accountable for the design of UR-103, was residing in Brooklyn, New York, which intended he needed a computer to be able to plan this new case. Frei ordered a computer from the famous camera and electronics shop B& H and anxiously waited patiently, but it did not appear. It turns out that it was accidentally delivered to a rough workshop somewhere else in the warehouse building, great landlord never paid attention to informing him. Fortunately, he discovered it before others selected it up. Can you imagine whether Urwerk collapsed due to a simple bundle loss?

Right after figuring out the design, the actual real estate and components were made. A possibility seamless, but there are some pleased accidents. Frey said: " On the side, people looking at the actual polished surface of the mentorship profile, the shape of the circular body that you see is just a little protruding. " " The width of the sticking out lug is slightly smaller sized. This detail is due to a mistake, and the structure is not. Accurate. I like mistakes that occur accidentally and decide to use these in my work. In my opinion, the main thing is to have the opportunity to be part of the style. " (cliquez ici pour suivre le lien)">

However , pressing boundaries and dealing with these types of ups and downs has become a key portion of Urwerk's approach. Baumgartner mentioned: " I just like to discover the limitations of watches. " " And, I are still capable of doing it. "

Although this fake watch obviously had a huge impact on the whole watchmaking industry, it was additionally an extremely personal project regarding Baumgartner and Frey. Following completely shutting down the organization, they began to study UR-103 seriously in early 2002. Self-employed watchmaking is a difficult task, and many storms hit them all at the same time. But they decided to try once again, UR-103 was a success or failure intended for Urwerk. It is also worth observing that it has been more than 5 years since the establishment from the company. They are already heavy. Therefore , you will forgive these people for holding their breathing when the doors of Basel International Watch and Jewelry Fair in 2003 opened up. Fortunately, the matter was solved and they received the purchase that afternoon (the few said that 4: 00 evening was the first handshake agreement), and the rest, as they explained, were all history.

I asked Baumgartner in addition to Fry about their memories of the watch, and these two designer watches still hold a special location. Frey said: " We still like it. " Frey is primarily responsible for the style of the watch. " It contains time when we created it, and aspects of it once again explained the story and its meaning. Living was captured in it. " Baumgartner felt the same. This individual said: " As long as you put it on on your wrist, you will instantly have a new sense in the appearance of the watch. " " UR-103 is a landmark in today's high-end watch technique. It is certainly not the only one, nonetheless it is a Very cool model. " (cliquez ici pour suivre le lien)">
