Dial and Hands
Dialen på denne Ulysse Nardin presenterer en slående og særegen aldringsprofil, preget av en tung, jevn stjernestøvpatina. Denne fine, flekkete flekken dekker hele skiven, og gjør den opprinnelige lyse finishen til et dypt teksturert, vintage landskap. Typografien forbli skarp, med serif-en «ULYSSE NARDIN LOCLE SUISSE» trykt tydelig under tolv-uret-posisjonen uten tap eller degradering. Påførte sølvtonede arabiske tall gir utmerket kontrast mot det patinerte bakgrunn, komplementert av en ytre minuttskala med påførte metalliske prikkinndekorer. Tiden angis av elegante, ulyssette sølvtonede bladvisere som viser lett overflateoksidasjon i samsvar med klokkeens alder, og fullfører en veldig ærlig og karakterrik visuell presentasjon.

Case and Crystal
Den trettiseks millimeter store rustfrie stålkassen har en klassisk mellomtjuehundretallsprofil med mykt svungne, avsmalnende lugger og en glatt, polert bezel. Kassearkitekturen beholder sterke linjer med ærlige tegn på slitasje og lette håndteringsmerker fordelt på de polerte overflatene, som vitner om regelmessig, men forsiktig historisk bruk. En kulet akrylkrystal beskytter skiven, og gir klar synlighet med minimalt overflatetilsyn. Klokken er utstyrt med en snap-on bakside i rustfritt stål som viser en børstet midtkjold omgitt av en polert avfasing. Ytterflaten av bakdekselet bærer det klart gravierte serienummeret 674553, mens innsiden er vakkert ferdig med perlage og har de tradisjonelle Ulysse Nardin-motmerkingene alongside Acier Inoxydable-betegnelsen.

Movement

Powering this timepiece is a beautifully preserved Ulysse Nardin manual-winding mechanical movement. The architecture is classically Swiss, featuring gracefully curved bridges adorned with crisp Geneva stripes and polished screw heads. The main bridge is proudly signed "ULYSSE NARDIN SWISS" and bears the movement serial number 5503590, deeply engraved and easily legible. The movement components, including the large balance wheel and exposed winding gears, present very cleanly under visual inspection. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady. The recorded timegrapher result is +35 to +40 seconds per day.

Strap
The watch is presented on a period correct black leather strap featuring a textured, exotic-style grain. The strap is detailed with prominent tan contrast stitching along the edges, providing a robust visual anchor that complements the deep patina of the dial, and is secured by a standard polished stainless steel tang buckle.

Condition
Good vintage condition with exceptional character. The case remains structurally sound with normal age-related wear, while the dial exhibits a heavy but highly uniform and attractive stardust patina. The movement is visually clean and operational.

Dimensions
Case Size: 33 mm (excluding the crown)
