1970's Ulysse Nardin Vintage Mens Large 36,000 BPH Watch, Stainless Steel - Officially Certified Chronometer

Ulysse Nardin

Item No. 9051

Today's offering showcases this striking large mens high-beat Ulysse Nardin. An uncommon model, it has a very distinctive and strong retro styled case and royal blue dial.

Measuring 40mm in diameter without the crown, it is the diameter of a Rolex Submariner or GMT. And like a Rolex, it is powered by an automatic movement that has been officially certified as chronometer, the highest distinction given to a watch movement.

Besides being a certified chronometer, it also features a high frequency 36,000 beats per hour balance system, twice the speed of many traditional watches and the fastest beat rate of the era, insuring exceptional accuracy.

Only a few specialist models of watches from a handful of brands beat at 36,000 per hour. As both a high frequency watch and a officially certified chronometer, this watch would have been among the very best when it came to accuracy in a widely-produced watch at the time.

It presents in gorgeous restored condition. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents as about a 9.7 out of 10. Its striking case, whose entire wide bezel is finished in a soleil brushing, presents as mint. Its dial has been meticulously refinished - the printing could pass as UN factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration a watchmaker freshly overhauled it. It is running very strongly. For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

An over four decade old classic Ulysse Nardin chronometer that presents like new on the wrist!

Ulysse Nardin:
Ulysse Nardin is best known by many collectors for creating chronometers, extremely accurate time keeping instruments. Their marine chronometer used by ship's captains to plot and follow the correct course while at sea. By employing sextants and chronometers, a captain could track the changes in his course over time and determine the exact location of his ship, and Nardin's marine chronometers were among the most reliable and sought after.
