Ulysse Nardin Diver [NET OPS] – Ref. 1183-170-8A/0A
The Ulysse Nardin Diver [NET OPS], reference 1183-170-8A/0A, is a high‑performance diver that combines bold military aesthetics with pioneering sustainability. Offered in a two-part variant (this /0A edition features a khaki‑green fabric strap), it pushes boundaries in both design and environmental responsibility.
Sustainable Materials Robust Case Design
At 1183-170-8A/0A core, the 44 mm case is built from 95 % recycled stainless steel, overlaid with Nylo® composite—a blend of recycled fishing‑net polyamide and upcycled carbon fiber—resulting in a light yet resilient frame. Its unidirectional rotating bezel is crafted from Carbonium® carbon fiber, creating a tactile grip and a distinctive marbled effect. This watch maintains a solid 300 m (30 ATM) water resistance rating.
Khaki Green Dial with Tactical Flair
The dial’s khaki green sandblasted finish is both rugged and legible, featuring an embossed, satin‑finished “X” motif at its center. A power reserve indicator sits at 12 o’clock, and the small seconds sub-dial with integrated date appears at 6 o’clock. Beige Super-LumiNova indices and hands glow green in dim conditions—an ideal specification for divers.
Reliable Performance: Caliber UN‑118
Inside beats the in-house UN‑118 automatic movement, offering a 60-hour power reserve and a 4 Hz frequency. Equipped with Ulysse Nardin’s patented DiamonSIL-coated escapement and silicon components, this caliber achieves superior precision, anti-magnetic resistance, and long-term reliability.
Fabric Strap Edition: Khaki Green Eco Textiles
This version, designated by /0A, includes a khaki‑green fabric strap made partly from recycled fishing‑net materials. The hook‑and‑loop Velcro closure ensures secure wearability and lightweight comfort—perfect for ocean-bound adventures or active daily life.
