Ulysse Nardin Vintage Chronometer.
From our dear Nomadgiles collection.
A funky and nice looking time capsule.
Best,
Nicolas
UN made 1000 of these high beat movements in 1974, and encased in a number of different cases and dial configurations
thank you, I see you have a passion for high accuracy movements :-) that is very cool
The Designs and Mood is very appealing to me from that Era
Which period of watch designs do you like?
Same for me, the 80s is still a mystery although I like the 80s IWC Ocean/Porsche Design language
Funky indeed
That case and lug integration is funky indeed...interesting design choice. I wonder what inspired it...I'm for.some reason getting aviation and space vibes seeing that shape
It seems sometimes there are “variations on a theme”
There’s an Omega cosmic seamaster which has a very similar case shape. I can’t remember at the moment other companies who made a similar case shape, but know I’ve seen others. I like this particular UN a lot. Well done. Currently, Omega makes a case very similar to the GS elegance case of theMatsumoto Castle. They also make a cut off hour hand like GS’s Evolution 9’s cut off hour hand. Something “in the air” so to speak. Hope this is coherent. Haven’t finished my first coffee.
Interesting
I guess the word Cosmic indicates some sort of Space theme and inspration. Definitely unique looking.
Yes, you have a good point
Think of the space programs of the U.S. and
the USSR of the late 50's through 1969 when
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren set foot on the
moon. As a comical aside, the NY Mets baseball
team were so bad in their beginning years it was
said a man would set foot on the moon before the
Mets would win a World Series. We landed on the
moon July 1969 and the Mets won the World Series
in October 1969!
Yes - the 'C' case shape I like a lot!
Still have the GP's - the Omega and the UN now on new wrists
Great pictures!
Thanks for sharing the other watches mentioned with a similar case design. Very cool!
Yes, the same case was used by several brands, which is a common phenomenon. Example? The case of the JLC Deep Sea Alarm is the same than the Omega Seamaster / Railmaster / Speedmaster ( Huguenin Frères ).
