I’m slowly building a collection of very nice watches, but the hole in my collection is a dressy, black-dial watch. This self-winding, 43mm diameter chronometer from Ulysse Nardin is near the top of my list of choices. It would be the priciest watch in my collection at $8,400 MSRP, but man, is it nice.
This version has a stainless steel case, a black leather strap with deployment clasp, sapphire crystal, and a 42 hour power reserve. As you can see from the picture above, it also has a small seconds dial, a date indicator, and a power reserve indicator.
I’m fortunate to have a Ulysse Nardin reseller right down the street. It’s takes all my self control not to wander in and buy it every time I walk by.
