With an edgy blueprint, omnipresent “X-Factor” and innovative stealth design, the new BLAST is a fresh, muscular and robust, an open-worked model inspired by the volcanic energy of the Earth.
Supercharged with classic Ulysse Nardin savoir faire, BLAST is a potent force of nature. Tapping into the very magma of the earth, Blast is a rippled explosion of energy, style, and precision.
FORGED BY 18 MONTHS IN MAKING
BLAST was 18 months in the making from conception to creation. From the triple-toothed round bezel to the double “X” that clamps the movements together in a “secret-agent style” sandwich, to the self-deploying buckle which releases effortlessly in just one click. Thanks to a new patented 3 blade system that opens in a synchronized manner, it snaps open like a couple sharing a dynamic tango dance. Light penetrates the open-worked body of the watch like a laser.
Several Ulysse Nardin emblematic codes have also been included – the rectangular frame, the 3-horned signature fixing the strap, the smooth, colored bezel, the verticality of the movement with the barrel at 12 o’clock and the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock.
[rev_slider alias="Ulysse Nardin"]This atomic bomb of a watch is powered by the recently fashioned UN-172 movement (an evolution of the UN-171 movement) and has a three-day power reserve.
WHAT'S UNIQUE: ITS RADAR DODGING DESIGN
Aeronautical and military engineers have created aircrafts with aligned edges and serrated triangular patterns to make them invisible to radar and to deflect radio waves. The Ulysse Nardin designers have restyled and rebuilt the watch horns making them strong and geometric just like the sharp wings of a stealth aircraft.
Smooth yet muscular, the horns are aerodynamic and imposing, much like the sharp rocks that jut out of a volcano. Each triangle has a different finish, the surface of the horns alternating between polished, satin-finish and sand-blasted veneer. The result is an effect otherworldly, much like the lunar landscapes of black magma that surround a volcano and glisten under the moonlight.
BLAST is available in four distinct models - blue, black, rose gold and white - each with several strap options possible: structured rubber, leather, velvet and more specific options.
