Ulysse Nardin Executive Dual Time GMT watch

Equipped with a digital second time-zone indicator at 9 o’clock, the Ulysse Nardin’s Dual Time series of watches is considered to be the most user-friendly watch on the market, and justly so. The lack of the secondary hour hand makes the watches dial less cluttered and allows for fast time-zone changing with a push of a button.

Well, the technology created by UN’s master watchmaker Ludwig Oechslin has its drawbacks, too. For once, you won’t be able to set the right time if your business needs bring you to, say, Adelaide, Australia, or Kabul, Afghanistan, or Tehran, Iran, or Mumbai, India, or a number of other places were the local standard time zones are divided by 30 minute steps. It’s still the best, though.

The new Ulysse Nardin Executive Dual Time GMT watch sports the new UN-24 caliber, which is based on the ETA 2892-A2 movement and also powers their new Dual Time Ladies, 42 mm, and the Quadrato Dual Time models. The main difference with the UN-22 movement that powered the earlier GMT Big Date GMT +- model is that it has the central sweep second hand replaced with a small second indicator at 6 o’clock and its GMT module is also reworked.

The movement is hidden inside a gorgeous 43 mm case, which is made of either stainless steel or 18ct rose gold tastefully combined with a scratch resistant black ceramic bezel and pushpieces.

Although the dial layout is not that exquisite as that on the earlier GMT Big Date models, the new model will certainly conquer hearts and wallets of those who craved for the Maxi Marine Diver Titanium chronometer watch but though that it was too sporty. This one can actually be worn with a suite.
