Ulysse Nardin Classic Perpetual Ludwig 333-900 Review

Ulysse Nardin Perpetual Ludwig got its name from its inventor, Ludwig Oeschlin.Now best known for his own brand, Ochs und Junior, Oeschlin devised the perpetual mechanism to be legible, robust and simple. So all the calendar displays are in windows, and the mechanism can be set forwards and backwards via the crown. In fact, when the hands are moved backwards, the date follows suit. More watches.

The dial is a bright silver with a fine grained finish, as well as facetted baton markers and blued steel leaf hands. 41mm in diameter, the original was just 38.5mm, But because the case is now significantly larger, but the movement remains the same, the calendar displays are proportionately smaller. They remain usefully legible, but the proportions of the original have been diluted.

The Ulysse Nardin Classic Perpetual Ludwig retains the same calibre UN-33 as in 1996. It’s automatic and based on a movement developed by Lemania for both Ulysse Nardin and Ebel in the early 1990s.
