For The Enameled Dials Lovers - Ulysse Nardin Classico Amerigo Vespucci Watch

Ulysse Nardin is really a watch manufacturer founded in 1846, in Le Locle, Switzerland. It is among the couple of firms that has continued to be in continuous production for more than 165 years. Ulysse Nardin has operated from the same building based in Le Locle, Switzerland since 1865.

Ulysse Nardin Classico Amerigo Vespucci watch is really a special treat for those fans of enameled dials. The latest thing of beauty in the famous Swiss watch manufacturing company is known as following a legendary frigate of Italian navy that was released in 1931. This legendary naval ship owes its title towards the famous Italian explorer, navigator and cartographer Amerigo Vespucci.



This novelty is part of the Ulysse Nardin’s Classico Cloisonne collection which is released in limited series composed of only 30 pieces.

The cloisonne dial from the new Ulysse Nardin watch consists of various segments, each separated with golden wires that stops the liquid powdered enamel to circulate into other melting chambers. Each dial needed 500mm of proper gold wire to help make the partitions around the dial. This can be a very time-consuming process that involves 50 working hrs through the Ulysse Nardin’s expert and 26 ways to complete each dial. It appears the end result makes it worth while since the Classico Amerigo Vespucci is really a spectacular display of design and maritime mastery from the 26 sails towards the vibrant whitened stripes that dress its black shell.



The timepiece that represents the famous Italian vessel in glorious detail is located in both 18-karat white gold or 18-karat rose gold case (their referent amounts are 8150-111-2/Audio-video and 8156-111-2/Audio-video). Its round case measures 40mm across featuring a lightly bevelled bezel, small , dramatically designed lugs along with a superbly polished finish. The timepiece remains safe and secure on sides with sapphire crystals also it provides water proofing of 30 meters (about 100 ft).



The leading side features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, during the rear there's a transparent sapphire crystal case back fixed with screws which discloses the in-house manufactured movement. The self-winding Not 815 caliber is COSC-licensed also it provides a reasonably generous power reserve close to 42 hrs. This time around-only mechanism includes a nice rotor having a wave-like guilloche pattern.

Ulysse Nardin offers two kinds of wristlets. The white gold Classico Amerigo Vespucci is teamed having a blue leather strap which fits the dial, although the rose gold version has a brown leather strap which matches well using the case.

This watch looks so adorable and classic. It’s so meaningful to the ones who love enameled watches.
