Ulysse Nardin Diver Atoll: A Splash of Colour

Dive watches are aplenty, but when Ulysse Nardin decides to make one, they ensure it's something that wouldn't look out of place in a treasure chest. Enter the Diver Atoll, the latest and possibly the most striking entry into their Diver 39mm collection.

The first thing you notice about the Diver Atoll is its breathtaking dial, a mesmerising canvas of cyan hues cut from the enigmatic chrysocolla stone. In case you aren’t a stone expert, it’s a copper ore that channels the deep, enigmatic seas with swirling patterns of blue and turquoise that uniquely make each watch its own. Pair this with a bezel adorned with 40 sparkling diamonds that are more bedazzled than your average celebrity on a red carpet, and you've got a watch that’s ready for its close-up.

But the Atoll isn’t just a pretty face. With a 39-mm case made from 80% recycled steel, this watch packs a serious punch while championing sustainability. Its robust 300-meter water resistance rating makes it a genuine dive watch, although, with those diamonds, it’s more likely to dodge dives and favour dinner parties.

Then there’s the automatic movement, the UN-816, a version of the Sellita SW300-1. It's the horological equivalent of a reliable, hardworking steed, ready to keep ticking robustly beneath its dazzling exterior. There’s even a date function, keeping you on schedule whether you're navigating underwater caves or cocktail menus.

For those who like to switch up their style, the Diver Atoll comes with a choice between a sporty chic white rubber strap or a more refined white alligator strap. Either option ensures that this watch remains ideal for those spontaneous yacht invitations or an impromptu brunch by the beach.

Ulysse Nardin’s trademark use of silicon escapement technology adds another layer of modernity to this watch, dating back to its innovative introduction in the 2001 iconic Freak timepiece. It's a testament to the brand's continuous push towards the future while respecting the crafts of yesteryears.

Combining its gala-like looks with the specs of a ready-for-everything beater, the Ulysse Nardin Diver Atoll doesn’t push you to choose a narrow path and stick to it. It celebrates adventure, style, and the art of horology in all its multifaceted glory. Whether you’re diving into the depths or dining on the deck, the Diver Atoll is designed to dazzle and deliver, making it the ultimate companion for any high-seas adventurer or shore-bound beauty.
