Ulysse Nardin has just unveiled the Diver Atoll, a new addition to its Diver collection. This limited-edition timepiece, with only 100 pieces available, is a testament to the brand’s spirit of adventure and commitment to craftsmanship. The Diver Atoll stands out with its chrysocolla stone-cut dial in shades of blue, turquoise, brown, and black. Each dial is unique, making every watch a one-of-a-kind piece.
The chrysocolla gemstone has been used since ancient times. Ulysse Nardin has harnessed its beauty in the Diver Atoll, featuring a stainless-steel case with both polished and satin-brushed finishes. Notably, 80% of the steel used is recycled, reflecting the brand’s dedication to sustainable practices.
A Real Diver
The Diver Atoll is not just about looks. It is water-resistant up to 300 meters and powered by the automatic UN-816 movement. This movement includes Ulysse Nardin’s silicon escapement technology. The uni-directional rotating bezel is set with 40 diamonds, and the hour indexes are adorned with 11 diamonds, adding up to a total of 0.92 carats. The watch comes with a choice of a white rubber strap or white alligator strap.

It definitely looks cool but at almost $16K it had better come with a SCUBA setup. That said, look at that dial. You can check it out online at U-N’s site.
