The Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver watch offers an attractive combination of precision, robust construction, and luxurious fine quality. Presented in stainless steel or 18K rose gold, the massive 42.7mm case of the Maxi Marine Diver watch makes a powerful impression, one which is reinforced by handling it, and confirming the fine details with the fingertips.
Like its smaller sibling the Ulysse Nardin Marine Diver watch, the Maxi Marine Diver is water resistant to 300 meters (water resistance is limited to 200 meters for the 18K gold version), courtesy of the large, fully insulated screw-down crown, and the engraved caseback which has been secured by screws. The finely engraved rotating bezel, marked with a luminous dot, rotates counter-clockwise only, and can be used to safely measure decompression stops during a dive, or the length of a long distance telephone call on dry land.
To ensure that the timekeeping ability of this luxurious sports watch is fully commensurate with the horological excellence long synonymous with the House of Ulysse Nardin, it has been equipped with the excellent selfwinding UN-26 Caliber; in the 18K gold version, an exhibition sapphire caseback allows the owner a glimpse of this movement and its beautiful 22K gold winding rotor that has been decorated with a fine guilloche pattern. Meticulously adjusted by the watchmakers of the House, this mechanism has a power reserve of 42 hours, the status of which is indicated on the upper portion of the watch dial; as the watch is wound, or runs down, a small hand indicates the amount of tension stored in the mainspring.
Having proven its precision in the comprehensive tests administered by the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres (COSC), the UN-26 caliber has earned the Maxi Marine Diver watch the right to bear the inscription "Chronometer" upon its dial. The Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver watch can be ordered with a sporty rubber strap or a massive link bracelet in either 18K rose gold or stainless steel, depending upon the model, and to ensure the broadest range of appeal, Ulysse Nardin has presented the Maxi Marine Diver watch with three attractive dials-- black, silver, or brown--each remarkable for their exceptional finish, and fine surface textures.
The finely wrought skeleton hands of the Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver watch are coated with ample amounts of Superluminova, ensuring easy readability, even in total darkness. An elegant interpretation of the classic divers timepiece, the Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver watch is a versatile companion that skillfully bridges the gap between sport and elegance.
