The New Marine Torpilleur Military
News & events
The new Marine Torpilleur Military: a modern Marine chronometer for those who captain their own destiny.

Riding on the wave of success of its Marine Torpilleur, Ulysse Nardin is releasing the Marine Torpilleur Military edition, a chronometer for a whole new generation of adventurer. Bold and dashing, this is a direct descendant of the pocket chronometers prized by the sea captains of 19th or beginning of the 20th century, radically redesigned for a resolutely modern era. Featuring the same Ulysse Nardin UN-118 in-house movement as the celebrated Marine Chronometer, the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military takes on a more imposing air, as if daring the wearer to rise to a new level of challenge.

Dynamic design is in every line; military bearing in every aspect of this contemporary dynamo. Its two interpretations take inspiration from the eternal elegance of vintage military timepieces. One with an eggshell white dial, whose outlined Arabic numerals enable quick reading of the time, matched by an elegant tan leather strap. The other in chic black, with orange Arabic numerals and superluminova-coated hands – ideal for legibility in the dark – and attached to the wrist with a black strap with orange stitching. Both editions command respect with an oversized crown, and a formidable 44 mm case with a steel sand-blasted finish, water-resistant to 50 meters, and stamped on the back with the distinctive Torpilleur.

Remarkable for a more accessible chronometer, it is powered by the Ulysse Nardin UN-118 manufacture movement. Featuring the proprietary Silicium anchor escapement crafted in-house at the Swiss manufacture, it boasts both COSC certification and the Ulysse Nardin certificate, a double guarantee of the highest performance standards. A small seconds function at 6 o’clock is complemented by a red serial number, showing the timepiece’s status as one of only 300 in a limited edition. The initials C.W. proudly proclaim it is a Chronometer Watch, referen-cing the military models of the past, whose design followed the strict codes of the armed forces.

Dimension: 44mm
Movement: Caliber UN-118, self-winding
Power reserve: 60 hours, up-/down-indicator at 12 o’clock
Water resistance: 50m
Crown: screw-down security crown

At close to $8,000 USD, the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military isn’t a budget vintage military-themed timepiece by any means, but at the same time it isn’t trying to directly mimic “bare bones” basic-ness that a lot of military-style watches are going for. The story here is a bit more complicated but ultimately satisfying if you can understand how a design like this comes together. It begins with the fact that Ulysse Nardin has a legitimate history producing marine chronometers – highly accurate clocks used on board ships as official timekeepers and for navigational use prior to modern technological innovations, such as GPS. The contemporary Ulysse Nardin Marine timepiece collection has dials which are based on the look and feel of many of these antique marine chronometer clocks.
