About the Watch:

Ulysse Nardin is known for producing some of the finest timepieces in the world, and the Maxi Marine Chronometer Ref 263-67 is no exception. With its 43 mm polished stainless steel case and white lacquered dial with gloss black Roman numerals, the Maxi Marine delivers a sporty yet elegant maritime design that is based on the brand's lengthy marine heritage.

The History:

Ulysse Nardin founded his company in 1846, at the age of 23. Following years of apprenticeship under master watchmakers in Switzerland, Ulysse set out on his own to produce high-precision marine chronometers to be used for commercial ships and navies throughout the world. In 1862, he was awarded the top prize for complicated watches and pocket chronometers at the International Exhibition in London. After Ulysse passed away in 1876, his son Paul-David took over the company and continued to expand its offerings as well as win several more prestigious awards all over the world for its precision timepieces.

Powered by a Ulysse Nardin UN-26 COSC certified automatic movement, the Ref 263-67 has a 42-hour power reserve and a water resistance rating of 200 meters.
