The Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin, renowned for its innovative designs and master craftsmanship since 1846, has unveiled the Diver Atoll, its latest limited-edition timepiece. Evoking tranquil tropic seas, this diver’s watch features a one-of-a-kind stone-cut dial of chrysocolla—a gemstone with swirling hues of blues and greens. Each of the 100 hand-cut dials has a unique abstract pattern, making every Diver Atoll truly singular.
Following earlier gemstone editions with mother-of-pearl and aventurine, the Diver Atoll exemplifies Ulysse Nardin’s expertise in overcoming technical challenges to create exceptional watches. The brand integrates style with ingenuity: 80% of the stainless steel case is recycled, the bezel glitters with 40 diamonds, and the automatic movement contains the company’s revolutionary silicon escapement technology, first introduced in 2001.
Long treasured in jewelry for its soothing blue-green tones, chrysocolla was associated with communication and harmony in antiquity. This diver’s watch is made for leisurely exploring, with 300m water resistance, diamonds on the bezel and indexes, and a choice of white rubber or alligator strap.
Priced at $15,800, the Diver Atoll is a winning combination of Ulysse Nardin’s superb Swiss watchmaking, contemporary materials, and timeless natural beauty. This limited-edition tropical treasure evokes diving into sparkling undiscovered waters, in laidback luxury.
