Ulysse Nardin is a Swiss watch manufacturer with an excellent reputation worldwide. The company was founded in 1846 and deserves recognition for their highly precise timepieces. This example has a round stainless steel case; its fine features are typical for watches dating from the 1960s and make the watch even more desirable. The two round chronograph pushers feel slightly too big for the case – worn on the wrist, however, the effect is highly modern. The silvered dial is striking and has finely polished Arabic numerals and indexes. The hour hand as well as the minute hand is luminous, the red chronograph hand is fixed in the centre and presents a striking contrast to the rest of the dial. The inscription below the Ulysse Nardin logo on the dial says "Locle Suisse" and refers to Le Locle, where the company has its origins.
