Ulysse Nardin Marine 1846 1183-900/E0 Review

Ulysse Nardin Marine 1846, based on the Marine Chronometer 1846.Based on the precision gimballed timekeepers made for ships – Ulysse Nardin was one of Switzerland’s leading makers of such precision clocks – the Marine 1846 is essentially a scaled down version of a marine chronometer, with a distinctly functional, yet classical look https://www.aomwatches.is/.

The dial has all the key elements of a marine chronometer, including oversized Roman numerals, an extra-large sub-seconds, as well as a power reserve display at 12 o’clock. Even the wide, sloping flange around the dial is also found on a real marine chronometer, as is the notched bezel.

Ulysse Nardin Marine 1846 has a vitreous enamel dial. It’s glossy and hard, with the surface unevenness that’s characteristic of fired enamel.Marine 1846 has a solid back engraved with all of the 18 gold medals Ulysse Nardin won at world’s fairs, starting in the late 19th century. Under the back is the UN-118, an automatic in-house movement.
