Last year, Ulysse Nardin presented the Marine Grand Deck Tourbillon Watch which drew great attention at the Baselworld 2016 watch fair. Now it is a time for a rose gold version of this exceptional model.
Ulysse Nardin Marine Grand Deck Tourbillon in Rose Gold also took inspiration from the era of classic yachts. The watch is produced in the limited series of only 18 pieces. It is housed in 5N rose gold case measuring 44mm in diameter and featuring a fluted bezel and a screw-down crown with black rubber molding. The watch offers decent water resistance up to 100 meters (about 330 feet).
The rose gold Marine Grand Deck Tourbillon features a warm color scheme. Underneath the front sapphire glass lies a beautiful wooden marquetry dial, designed to look like the ship’s deck. The slightly darker wood of rose gold edition is in the color of chocolate. Just like its predecessor, the new Grand Deck Tourbillon has miniaturized elements on its dial, such as a wood deck, winches, lines and a mainsail boom.
The jumping hour is available in a double window set below the maritime symbols at the 12 o’clock position, while the minutes are shown in gold on a spinel arc across the center of the dial, with the golden boom drawn across to show exact time. Quick time correction is enabled with the push-piece placed at the 2 o’clock position.
Ulysse Nardin Marine Grand Deck Tourbillon is powered by the caliber UN-630 hand-wound movement that has a 60-minute flying tourbillon which is set in a gold ring at the 6 o’clock position. The movement operates at the semi-rapid frequency of 21,600 alternations per hour (3 Hz) and it is capable to store enough power to keep the watch working for no less than 2 days (48 hours) when fully wound. Here you can read how this ingenious mechanism works.
Ulysse Nardin Grand Deck Marine Tourbillon in Rose gold (ref. 6302-300/GD) comes with an elegant, black alligator leather strap which is secured to the wearer’s wrist with a matching 5N rose gold folding buckle.
