Blue White and Red, not necessarily in this order, are our colors, hence the chromatic theme. :) Let's see how it works with a navy blue dial... Thanks, Russell.
A Watchprosite Ulysse Nardin?
My idea: Let's start from this Torpilleur: Let's take a 40 mm case. No need to go bigger, in my opinion. Steel or titanium, up to you... Steel would be less expensive. Then, let's go for a black enamel dial. Smooth step bezel. Let's change the see through...
I'd be interested
Maybe get rid of PR in front, put on back or have logo at 12 instead. TI
Yes, it is a UN design element...
...but manufacturers seem to have different ways to show 'Up' and 'Down.' I would prefer 'Up' to show the number of hours left and 'Down' to be zero hours when the movement stops. Maybe that's just me...
Beautiful!
If I may ask, what's the significance of the red "24"? Perhaps, the red accent can be placed at a more symmetrical position (near 12 o' clock)?
you got to promise you don't look at rest of the watches in the article ;-)
for our English readers - in this it is much explicitly stated...
I think you lose the impact of the blued hands on a black dial
To me blue is best on white or ivory: Stowa GO GS Chronoswiss Silver or white hands contrast best on blue or black dials. ...
It needs a date.
I kid, I kid. I'm not a fan of blued hands. I'd prefer black hands. Otherwise, it's a great concept. M4
Nice piece
They should make it in corinthian bronze or some nautical metal. Some special wood dial will be nice too. This watch has some nautical DNA which they have not fully expressed. Somehow, the Panerai Eileen Radiomir came to my mind when I thought about poten...
Or another alternative
Lumed enamel, like those used in Angular Momentum watches. Nothing else needs to be changed. Imagine a whole dial which glows, in a delicate enamel. Ooooo
Not familiar with torpilleur dimensions..
So they came in 40mm? Website models indicate a 42mm size. But at 40, and with all those features you mentioned, it would be interesting simply because it would be a UN x WPS piece. Midnight blue enamel dial could also be an option but would not mind blac...
Would be a lovely iteration !
Black enamel + smooth bezel would give this model a whole new charm and identity
a purist UN
would love to see a Purist UN... but my personal preference would be the San Marco in 40mm... but in steel or titanium ... with a enamel dial in a nice color (black, white, green). Hour index Breguet would be lovely or stick index perhaps! Hands dauphine....
This one could be great too!
As much as I like them torpilleur project idea I wonder indeed if this would be more special as a “purist” timepiece…love it! It is also a less common UN reference which I like
I like everything about this idea!
With a black enamel dial I would also rather see the hands in silver or white (for better legibility). And ,why not, the power reserve indicator hand in ...red ! I would be in for sure !! Best, Gerard
Definitely interested !.. Ti would be interesting but ss is the better allround choice !..
If it comes to existence, count me in, pls. Really like that dial !! - In General, I‘m for the Marine, rather than San Marco but that is not a Make it or Break it point (?) for me Best, hs PS: About the solid back case, I‘m not quite sure: see through, I ...
for me only in white enamel
this watch doesn't work with a black dial imo - it is not a bad boy style
A quick idea
I don't post too much on here but thought this sounded like a great idea, so I've done a quick photoshop with some of the ideas mentioned above: -Black enamel dial with white roman numerals -Stepped bezel -Red power reserve and small seconds hands -White ...
Looks amazing but I would love polished hands and silver numerals.
UN used a similar mix of silver hands and printing on the Berlin I owned, always thought it looks stunning. Does sacrifice a certain amount of legibility having black polished hands. 🤔 ...
You’re welcome !
As a big UN enthusiast I’m really both surprised and happy to see the brand receive so much attention and love here, usually (sadly) they are kept out of main watch conversations shadowed by titans like Patek or Vacheron. P.S. : the San Marco line is trul...
I like the idea Nicolas and I would in for sure. Here while I like the idea of a the black dial, I would concerned about legibility. If the hands are such that they are hard to see on certain angle I find this less appealing personally…
So i might prefer a white enamel if possible. Also, on a smaller case I would also suggest reducing the size of the Roman numerals which I always found a tad too big as they take too much space on the dial IMHO. I actually like see through case but could ...
I would love to own a no date, enamel Marine UN so I will follow this post for sure.
For a marine watch I prefer white or blue enamel. I have a couple of titanium watches and this is a material very of my taste but I think steel would work well here... and it is cheaper. Greetings.
For me dear Nico it would be in titanium, a special metal with a
Special purpose for a marine watch. My ideal dial would be all as you have described but maybe with blue indices to match the blued hands. I’ll be first on the list ! Best Will
Ti , Arabics aligned up, white enamel dial...
Blued hands, no date or crown guard as a start.
