Discover the stunning Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moon Phase Aventurine and Diver Starry Night watches Long before Ulysse Nardin revolutionized watchmaking with silicon technology and launched the Freak watch in 2001, it was known for its high-precision marine chronometers. This experience not only defined Ulysse Nardin’s heritage, but also had a significant impact on the design philosophy of the brand’s contemporary models.

In 2017, Ulysse Nardin launched the Marine Torpilleur collection, a more affordable alternative to the proven Marine collection. In 2021, the Marine Torpilleur series is completely updated with new models, including an attractive moon phase watch. This collection features a midnight blue aventurine dial. Additionally, the brand has added a shiny version of the Diver watch to the collection, this time permanently. Called the Diver Starry Night, this model follows the design of the Marine Torpilleur moon phase aventurine watch and features diamond hour markers.

Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moon Phase Watch
Following its debut in 2022, the Marine Torpilleur moon phase watch has become a permanent part of the collection. It has a 42mm rose gold case and a white lacquered dial. This year, the brand launches another version of the Marine Torpilleur Moonphase – this model features an aventurine dial, perhaps the most romantic option in the collection.
The Marine Torpilleur Moon Phase Aventurine watch comes in a polished and satin-brushed stainless steel case with a diameter of 42 mm. The fluted (coin-cut) bezel and crown decorated with the United Nations logo provide unique features. A miniature nameplate is attached to the side of the case, showing the watch’s serial number.

The sapphire case back is held in place by six screws and has a total water resistance of 50 m. The dial design and material selection are inspired by Ulysse Nardin’s rich history and its connection to the moon, stars and ocean watchmaking traditions. The blue aventurine dial is cut from the finest blocks of aventurine stone, ensuring it is uniform, bubble-free and even plated with a coppery sheen.

The dial remains easy to read and follows the design of the previous model: large Roman numerals, classic rhodium-plated pointed and whip-shaped hands, and a moon phase indicator in the small seconds dial at 6 o'clock. The power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock shows the remaining running time of the mainspring.

The UN-119 automatic movement remains unchanged from the previous version - it is COSC certified, equipped with silicon hairspring and escapement wheel, and diamond silicon anchor. The movement consists of 222 components, including 45 jewels, runs at 28,800 rpm and provides a 60-hour power reserve.
