Ulysse Nardin releases the Classico Paul David Nardin - 39mm steel case
UN releases a watch in honor of Ulysse Nardin's son - Paul David - with the Classico Paul David Nardin . Modeled after a 1945 timepiece, this Classico Paul David Nardin houses a 39mm steel case with the in-house UN-320 automatic movement. Date window at 6...
I've seen it in the metal at the SIHH. To be honest, without the date at 6 o clock, I would have bought it.
Superb case size, the dial is top, with two reserves. The eaten 6 due to the second sub dial, and, of course, the date...
I agree, can't understand why brands keep bringing out these beautiful re editions then

Like it a lot but I have the same reservations listed above
When brands do this they should really consider a small run off shoot to satisfy the more specific desires of the collectors.
It does have appeal, but also minuses. Will have to see it in the metal. I suppose..
Using an existing movement is cheaper than creating one similiar looking for that era?
