Very nice!
It seems that UN is adding more 'conventional looking' pieces to its range. I guess they should have success with it, since they look decent - whether they will be appealing to Purists remains to be seen, though. I definitely like this one better than the diver - would have been even nicer without the date 
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
go and spoil by putting in things trhat weren't there from the start such as date or "automatic" on the dial!
Totally agree!
I have no idea why brands like to put "automatic" on the dial. Does it really help with sales? I don't think so...
Brands are convinced that the date window is a key to success. I don't share this point of view.
When you discuss with dealers, it is far from being so clear. At least brands should keep a few watches without any date display. Fx
The incongruity of the date is well documented.
The other "improvement" would be a sweep seconds hand mounted on the center post. There is so much to like about this watch. Like Nicolas, with the two changes, this watch would be in my collection. M4

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?
