With the Blast Skeleton Tourbillon, Ulysse Nardin brings traditional watchmaking together with modern and industrial design language.
Representing the innovative face of the brand, the Blast concept stands out with its bold lines as well as its designs emphasizing the traditional aspect of micro-mechanics. Offering a wide variety of options not only in terms of functionality but also in terms of color and material alternatives, the young model family is the guest of our pages with Blast Skeleton Tourbillon Rose Gold, one of the flagship versions.
The case of the sporty model, designed with a diameter of 45mm, consists of ceramic and 18K rose gold components accompanying the middle body made of titanium. The case, with sapphire crystals on the front and back, successfully highlights the bold character of the model family thanks to its straight and angular lines.
We can say that Ulysse Nardin is one of the most successful names in bringing the skeleton concept together with modern design language. Thanks to the contemporary and sporty perspective brought by the well-established brand to the concept, not only the dial but also the components of the movement host perforated details. In the middle of the fully skeletonized dial, there is an X-shaped bridge, which also represents the brand's focus in recent years. At 6 o'clock there is the Tourbillon escapement that gives the model its name. Wide hands and indices filled with Super-LumiNOVA allow time to be read quickly and clearly.
The sporty model comes to life with the Caliber UN-172 movement, which is completely designed and produced in-house. The automatic Tourbillon movement beats at a frequency of 2.4Hz (18.000vph) and offers a power reserve of 3 days (72 hours) when fully wound. The caliber, which produces energy with a micro-rotor made of platinum, is equipped with an escapement wheel, anchor, and balance spring made of silicon material, which was introduced to the watchmaking industry with Ulysse Nardin.
The Ulysse Nardin Blast Skeleton Tourbillon Rose Gold comes with a black rubber-lined alligator strap and an UN-signed folding clasp.
