I fear my memory is leaking ....
... but I think I have seen another enamel dial colour as well. But the press text is only speaking of a blue enamel dial, so I maybe was wrong, and only remembered the green/red/white enamel dials of the San Marco chronometer.

Ofiicial info on the new "Classico"
Here is the official press text on the new and elegant "Classico": Classico. Timeless Elegance. The Classico gent’s timepiece represents the perfect union of Ulysse Nardin’s tradition of producing aesthetically superb timepieces with mechanical excellence...
The WG / Blue dial is a winner.

OK!
Thanks Marcus. I thought they might have done something different. Nothing wrong with a 2992+Gold rotor! -MW
personally i really like the white dial.
the blue dial looks superb, but seems to be just a larger version of the old San Marco enamelled dial. it would be a shame if its ETA based as i thought they would have progressed past that stage now with their new movements. Graham
I think the decision for a tried ETA base was good ...
The "Classico" is not a watch for movement fetishists like ourselves, but more a "beginner's drug" to acquire new UN fans. In this respect, the "Classico" could be the elegantly golden counterpart to the Marine Chronometer, and as such the watch asked for...
