Water resistant to 300m, the watch showcases a unique chrysocolla stone-cut dial reflecting tropical ocean, 80% recycled stainless steel case and a uni-directional rotating bezel set with 40 diamonds (a further 11 diamonds mark the hour indexes) for a total of 0.92ct. Inside, the watch is powered by an in-house movement and Ulysse Nardin’s silicon escapement technology, ensuring stylish ocean vibes at all hours.
