Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] (reference 3743-170-2A/0A)

New launch: Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is the world’s lightest mechanical diver’s watch

Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] (reference 3743-170-2A/0A)

As the flagship for Watches & Wonders Geneva 2025, Ulysse Nardin has just unveiled the world’s lightest mechanical diver’s watch. Made from high-tech recycled materials, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is driven by a highly skeletonized automatic movement, with bridges machined from titanium and, like the rest of the collection, water-resistant to 200 meters; however, the entire watch (including the strap) weighs just 52 grams, less than half the weight of the brand’s standard Diver X Skeleton model.

Despite sharing the same overall silhouette as the brand’s standard diver’s models, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] measures 44mm in diameter and 14.7mm thick, making it one millimeter thinner than its Diver X Skeleton sibling. As you’d expect, the top of the case features a domed sapphire crystal surrounded by a unidirectional rotating chronograph bezel, while the back of the watch features a screw-down exhibition caseback with a signature winding crown at 3 o’clock that screws into the middle case to ensure the 200 meters of water resistance this model offers. With this in mind, and in order to significantly reduce the weight of the new Diver [Air], Ulysse Nardin had to resort to materials different from those typically used in its dive watch manufacturing.

The Diver [Air]’s case is made from titanium and carbon fiber, but rather than working with traditional suppliers, Ulysse Nardin replica worked with forward-thinking innovators in the field of high-tech materials to source these materials. Titanium is used for the internal container that houses the movement, as well as the watch’s bezel, crown, and caseback. The titanium used in the Diver [Air] is 90% made from recycled materials and is manufactured by TiFast, a leading titanium producer, and ThyssenKrupp, a specialist in materials and engineering solutions focused on automotive technology and marine systems. TiFast recycles titanium from the Swiss biomedical industry, which is then processed by ThyssenKrupp using its various technologies and heat treatment methods to further enhance the alloy’s processing and deformation properties.

The rest of the case is made from Nylo®-Foil, a carbon composite material that is lighter than traditional carbon fiber. Nylo®-Foil is composed of 60% Nylo® (a polymer made from recycled fishing nets by French recycling startup Fil & Fab) and 40% carbon fiber, which comes from the IMOCA sailboat manufactured by CDK Technologies. The carbon fiber is recycled and returned to its original fiber state by Extracthive, a company committed to the circular economy, and then Lavoisier Composites processes the Nylo® and carbon fiber to create the Nylo®-Foil material. Meanwhile, the bezel insert of the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is made of CarbonFoil, which is made from 100% recycled carbon fiber from IMOCA sailboats that are chopped and compressed into a sturdy structure with a unique marble-like forged carbon pattern.

Rather than a heavy rubber strap like most brands’ dive watches, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] comes with two ultra-light elastic fabric straps. The two straps are bright orange or white, but other than the color difference, the two straps are identical, both with a wraparound design and a Velcro-style connection system. Since the straps are connected to the case via Velcro, the two included straps can be easily replaced without the use of any tools, and the Velcro-style closure also provides users with a nearly infinite range of adjustability. Additionally, since the strap is essentially just a piece of stretchy fabric with a black plastic pull tab, it only adds a few grams of weight, and the Diver [Air] weighs 46 grams for the watch head, and only 52 grams with one of the included straps. wholesale replica watch

Creating a lightweight case and strap certainly helped keep the watch’s weight down, but to create a watch that’s close to breaking the record, the movement inside also needed to be redesigned. The Caliber UN-374 automatic movement, visible through two sapphire crystals on either side of the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] case, is highly skeletonized, with bridges and mainplates made from 90 percent recycled titanium to further reduce weight. The skeletonized titanium bridges have been redesigned to form a triangle for maximum strength, the skeletonized mainspring barrel has been changed to a flying configuration, and by eliminating the upper barrel bridge, Ulysse Nardin was able to further reduce the weight of the movement.

The Cal. UN-374 movement consists of 199 individual parts, is set with 21 jewels, beats at 21,600 vph (3 Hz), and has a power reserve of 90 hours. Similar to other in-house movements of Ulysse Nardin, the Cal. UN-374 is equipped with an oversized balance wheel, whose hairspring and anchor-shaped escape wheel are made of silicon. The 90% recycled titanium used for the plates and bridges is produced by TiFast and Thyssenkrupp, and the silicon used in the regulating organ comes from recycled silicon wafers provided by Sigatec. At the same time, the rotor of the Cal. UN-374 has been hollowed out to the essential elements, and the use of large areas of hollowing out and lightweight materials makes the movement weigh only 7 grams, but it can withstand shocks of more than 5,000g.

Dive watches and skeleton watches usually exist at opposite ends of the horological spectrum, and it is undeniable that the highly hollowed-out display is completely opposite to the legibility that dive watches usually have. That being said, ultra-lightweight skeletonized sports watches have become a very popular horological style, and these haute horlogerie creations are not intended to be purely utilitarian products, but rather to be technical showcases that demonstrate the manufacturing prowess of their respective brands. The Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] aims not to be the world’s most powerful dive watch, but to be the world’s lightest dive watch, and its appearance is designed to reflect this extreme, with approximately 80% of the space within the case being completely occupied by air.

The Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] pushes the boundaries of one metric without compromising the others, and although the new Diver [Air] weighs less than half of the brand’s standard Diver X Skeleton model, it still offers a proper automatic movemen. buy replica watches

Richard Mille RM 60-01 Les Voiles De St Barth

As the main sponsor of the Les Voiles De St Barth Regatta, Richard Mille presents the limited edition RM 60-01 Les Voiles De St Barth. As the event cannot be held this year, the brand reiterates its commitment and intends to donate all proceeds from the sale of RM 60-01 to the St Barth’s initiative. The watch has a 50mm case made of titanium and carbon TPT. It also features a flyback chronograph and annual calendar. With its rotating bezel, this watch can also be used as a compass.

Shell and materials of RM 60-01 Les Voiles De St Barth
Richard Mille opted for a round case measuring 50 x 16.33 mm. It consists of four separate parts, including long titanium lugs. The middle section is also made of titanium, but with a carbon TPT insert. Additionally, 46 titanium screws hold the case together. Richard Mille can also lock the two chronograph pushers by turning the black ring on the crown. However, the UTC button used to increment the second time zone pointer is not affected by this.

The case also has a rotating bezel made of titanium and carbon TPT with four cardinal points, a 360° measuring disc and a 24-hour scale. Together with the red UTC hand, sailors can orient themselves like a compass. First, the red hand is aligned with the sun. Then turn the bezel so that the hands correspond to the current hour in local time. The correct north, east, west and south directions are now displayed to the wearer.

The dial of the Richard Mille RM 60-01 Les Voiles De St Barth is made of sapphire crystal, thus providing a view of the mechanism. Additionally, the manufacturer has placed a turquoise-colored flange with dotted indexes around the dial. Two large hands with luminous material indicate the time. There is also a small seconds hand with a yellow hand at 3 o’clock. The fake watches for sale has an annual calendar that distinguishes 30-day and 31-day months. To this end, there is an extra-large date window at 12 o’clock, and the current month is displayed between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock.

The time measurement of the flyback chronograph is displayed on the countdown subdial at 9 o’clock. Here, the hands are replaced by a disc that can be used to read the elapsed minutes and the remaining time of the hour. In addition, there is a 24-hour totalizer at 6 o’clock.

Movement RMAC2
The Manufacur movement RMAC2 inside the Richard Mille RM 60-01 Les Voiles De St Barth is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. It also offers a 55-hour power reserve provided by two barrels. The winding rotor has a system that adjusts its geometry according to the wearer’s activity level. Watchmakers believe this will optimize the performance of the winding mechanism. In addition, Richard Mille uses a free spring balance with screws. The baseplate, bridge and balance cock are all made of PVD-coated grade 5 titanium, making the mechanism more stable.

The Richard Mille RM 60-01 Les Voiles De St Barth comes with a rubber strap with a pin buckle.

The Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ is the Gen3 connected watch in the Hublot collection, the highest performing and exciting Big Bang e to date. The newly designed dedicated football app features a larger, improved HD screen where every moment of the game will be captured.

From the countdown to the most anticipated moment of the World Cup, the FIFA World Cup™ final, Hublot will be at the heart of the action. Ahead of the game, the Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ will enter a countdown mode, recording the days leading up to the first match between Qatar and Ecuador on November 20. Then, 15 minutes before each game, the watch will provide team line-up and player information, so the wearer can enjoy the details from the comfort of their wrist.

When a match begins, the watch will automatically enter “match mode” and activate “timeline”, a feature built specifically for this watch that will help fans capture the most memorable and important moments in football.

Here’s how it works: On the outer edge of the dial there will be a five-part scale indicating the first and second half, the extra time allowed for each half, and the half time. If a goal is scored, the watch will display an animation of the match event mentioning the player’s name, and the football symbol will appear on the scale at the appropriate minute mark. The same thing happens if there is a yellow card, a red card or a penalty.

If the game goes beyond normal time, the watch display will automatically switch to overtime mode and then to penalty shootout mode again to prevent the game from going into a penalty shootout. Each penalty is recorded by a football with a green or red outline to indicate whether the attempt was successful or not. The final “During Game Animation” shows when the game is over, and the final score.

At any time during the race, the wearer can replay these events by scrolling across the dial using the watch’s crown. After five seconds of inactivity, the watch automatically switches to a “low power mode” to save battery power. This legible, ergonomic, great interaction is unique to Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.

In metal, the Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ is a perfect blend of fine watchmaking and high-end electronics. The imposing and beautifully designed 44mm case is crafted in micro-blasted polished black ceramic and black titanium, echoing Hublot’s iconic mechanical watch, the Big Bang.

However, the Qualcomm® Snapdragon Wear™ 4100 processor powered by the latest version of Wear OS by Google™ (Wear OS 3) replaces the most advanced watchmaking technology. A dedicated app tailored for the watch provides the wearer with a seamless experience worthy of one of the most exclusive watch brands in the world. The watch’s impressive hardware specs include an accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, speaker, GPS, and a heart rate monitor. It also comes with a full suite of pre-installed apps that allow the wearer to stay connected and track activity, health, and more. Wearers can discover more great apps through Google Play on the watch.

It also promises all-day battery life and a two-hour charge from empty to full. Bluetooth 5.0 connects it to a variety of devices and accessories. Compatible with Android and iOS, the watch is water resistant up to 3 ATM.

The Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ will also be highly personalised, with dozens of dialing options available through the accompanying smartphone app. The official version features a burgundy dial and black and burgundy-lined rubber strap, inspired by the flag colors of Qatar, the host country of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Fans can also choose from the 32 participating countries in their own coloured dial and strap designs. This is a watch designed for fashion-conscious, active, football-loving people!
