In 2024, Ulysse Nardin introduces a striking new model to its Diver 39mm collection: the Diver Atoll, limited to just 100 pieces worldwide. The dial of this watch is meticulously crafted from a natural treasure: chrysocolla. Chrysocolla, a unique aggregate of hydrated copper silicates, is primarily found in the oxidation zones of copper deposits, often associated with malachite and azurite. Subtly varying copper content results in a rich palette of hues, from light green to apple green to bluish-green, reminiscent of nature's delicate underwater landscape.
You'll notice its texture, reminiscent of coral reefs, each unique pattern a mark of time. The vibrant interweaving of vibrant blue and turquoise, interspersed with tawny and black swirling patterns, evokes tranquil lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, and the vast, azure sea, perfectly capturing the mystery and beauty of the underwater world. The bezel is set with 40 diamonds. While diamonds are now exclusive to women's watches, many brands are incorporating diamond elements into men's models to enhance the luxury and elegance of their timepieces. The dial's hour markers are also diamond-set, weighing a total of 0.92 grams.
The 39mm diameter is quite compact for a dive watch, and the 11mm thickness is remarkably thin, especially for a dive watch with a water resistance of 300 meters. Many watchmakers consider 39mm a rather awkward size, but this is not the case. It's neither too small nor too sophisticated, and women can easily master it with a little experimentation, creating a unique sense of refinement. The 11mm thickness ensures water resistance while significantly enhancing wearing comfort.
The case is crafted from polished and satin-finished stainless steel, 80% of which is recycled steel, highlighting Ulysse Nardin's commitment to sustainability throughout the Driver diving collection. The caseback features an individual serial number (obscured) and the number "100," signifying that only 100 pieces will be produced.
The watch weighs a mere 67.9g, a significant breakthrough for a diving watch. Conventional diving watches weigh an average of around 110g, and even the ceramic Blancpain Fifty Fathoms tips the scales at around 100g. In contrast, the Ulysse Nardin Diver Atoll's slim and lightweight design is readily apparent. It eschews the bulk of traditional dive watches, making the watch virtually unnoticeable during diving or daily activities.
The Ulysse Nardin Diver 8163-182B1LE-9A-ATOLL/1A watch is powered by the Ulysse Nardin UN-816 automatic mechanical movement, which oscillates at 28,800 bph, features 19 jewels, 205 components, and a 42-hour power reserve. This movement, a foundational movement for the watch, also incorporates the brand's silicon technology and an escapement, making it perfectly adequate for daily use. The caseback features a rose compass motif, a nod to the watch's maritime roots. The watch strap is available in either rubber or crocodile leather. Rubber offers a more sporty feel, while crocodile leather offers a more refined and elegant aesthetic, highlighting the watch's positioning. Each strap offers its own unique style, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your needs.
