Ulysse Nardin Classico COSC-certified chronometer

The new Ulysse Nardin Classico automatic chronometer watch takes place of the popular -not to say “iconic”- San Marko model.



The new watch, which is available in both 18 carat rose or white gold, sports both simple and elegant round case only 40 mm in diameter. Together with more prominent winding crown and slightly larger lugs, the watch leaves a strong impression of understated elegance and style.

The UN Classico that comes in a rose gold case is available with either black or silver dial sporting. Yet, the most interesting is the watch in white gold, because it is equipped with a multilayered bright blue dial with guilloche pattern.

Compared to the original San Marco watch, the UN Classico sports much wider hour and minute hands, not only increasing the watch’s usability in poor lighting conditions, but also providing it with even more impressive look.

It is not yet clear how much Ulysse Nardin is going to ask for this piece of art, but it is definitely a must have for those tired of super-massive timepiece of the last decade.
