Ulysse Nardin launches new Marine Torpilleur moon phase aventurine watch

Introducing the new Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moon Phase watch with a sophisticated blue aventurine dial.

Exclusively limited to 300 pieces, the new Marine Torpilleur Moon Phase Aventurine watch houses a 42mm stainless steel case with a shimmering blue aventurine dial reminiscent of the night sky. The movement is powered by the UN-119 in-house movement, completely designed and assembled at the Integrated Manufacture in Athens, and features a silicon hairspring as well as a DIAMonSIL escapement wheel and pallet fork. This patented treatment, which combines silicon with synthetic diamonds to make the movement resistant to wear and shock, was first introduced on Freak in 2007. Finally, twin counters display the power reserve at 12 o’clock and small seconds at 12 o’clock. There is also a moon phase disk at 6 o'clock, which adds to the elegance when appearing in the starry night. The watch is water-resistant to 50 meters and comes with a blue alligator leather strap and folding clasp.

aventurine
The legend about aventurine tells that in the eighteenth century, on the island of Murano in Venice, a famous glassmaker, a craftsman accidentally dropped some copper shavings into a pot of molten glass, thus creating aventurine glass, or "aventurina" in Italian, meaning "accidental". Working with this fragile material requires a great deal of expertise from the craftsmen. The fine slabs are first cut from the aventurine blocks. Only those that are perfectly homogeneous, free of bubbles and Parts with evenly dispersed copper glitter can be used to create dials.
