The most important yachting competition, the America’s Cup, celebrates its 35th birthday this year. The Swiss luxury watchmaker Ulysse Nardin as the official partner of Sweden’s Artemis Racing team which competes in this challenging race joins the festivities by launching an exceptional limited edition of its famous Marine Diver timepiece.
Ulysse Nardin Marine Diver Artemis Racing Watch
Ulysse Nardin Marine Diver Artemis Racing is dressed in Artemis Racing signature colors – striking yellow and blue. This exclusive timepiece is crafted from durable stainless steel and rubber, and boasts an exceptional level of water resistance up to 300 meters (1,000 feet), which is made possible thanks to the screw-down security crown and case-back.
The stainless steel case measures 44mm in diameter and features a unidirectional rotating bezel with the famous wave pattern. Underneath the anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass lies a deep-ocean blue dial mixed with tasteful bursts of Artemis Racing yellow. Its beautiful dial features a sailing boat tapisserie motif whilst the hour markers and hands are filled with white luminescent material with a dash of yellow. The striking yellow is also used for the Artemis logo which is located at the 12 o’clock position, as well as for the small seconds hand. There is also the inscription “Artemis Racing, Challenger 35th America’s Cup” in the small seconds sub-dial which reminds everyone that this is a commemorative piece.
