Get your hand on this rare vintage Ulysse Nardin ref. 1420 with ETA 2512 hand-wound movement, brushed silver dial, cushion-shaped stainless-steel case, original polished crystal and vintage unsigned steel mesh bracelet. An uncommon Ulysse Nardin dress watch from the late 1960s/early 1970s, freshly serviced and supplied with a 3-month functionality guarantee. Model History: This Ulysse Nardin ref. 1420 is a rarely encountered vintage model from the brand’s more design-focused late-1960s to 1970s period. While Ulysse Nardin is historically associated with marine chronometers and precision timekeeping, watches such as this show the brand’s more unconventional side, combining a compact manual-wind movement with a bold cushion-shaped steel case and integrated-style mesh bracelet. The unusual case architecture, softly squared dial opening and wide brushed bezel give this piece a strong period character that is much less commonly seen than Ulysse Nardin’s traditional round dress watches. Its ETA 2512 hand-wound movement is a reliable Swiss calibre, making the watch both distinctive and practical for regular wear. Specifications: Brand: Ulysse Nardin Reference: 1420 Case / serial number: 978023 Movement: ETA 2512 manual-wind mechanical movement Functions: Hours and minutes Case: Stainless steel Case diameter: Approx. 33 mm excluding crown; approx. 34 mm including crown Lug-to-lug: Approx. 30 mm Dial: Brushed silver dial with applied baton hour markers Crystal: Original crystal, polished Bracelet: Vintage stainless-steel mesh bracelet, unsigned Box / papers: Not included Condition: The watch is in honest vintage condition overall, with a particularly appealing brushed silver dial and original applied baton hour markers. The dial shows visible age-related wear, including small spots, marks and areas of discolouration, especially noticeable under close inspection. These details are consistent with its age and contribute to its vintage character. The original crystal has been polished and presents clearly overall, although light remaining marks may still be visible depending on the angle. The stainless-steel case shows scratches, scuffs and general wear around the brushed bezel, polished inner frame and case sides. The caseback also shows surface wear and scratches, while both the reference and case serial number remain legible. The watch is fitted with a vintage unsigned stainless-steel mesh bracelet. It appears period-correct for the watch and complements the integrated case design well, although originality cannot be guaranteed with certainty due to the absence of signature markings. The movement has been professionally serviced and the watch is fully functional. It is supplied with a 3-month functionality guarantee. I aim to capture the condition of the watch accurately. Please make sure to review the pictures closely before bidding. The watch has been completely serviced by a professional watchmaker and tested for full functionality. The water resistance of the watch cannot be guaranteed. Shipping from Hungary with tracking and insurance.
