Ulysse Nardin Diver “The Ocean Race” – Ref. 1183-170LE-1A-TOR/0A
Introducing the limited-edition Ulysse Nardin Diver “The Ocean Race” (Ref. 1183-170LE-1A-TOR/0A)—a 44 mm professional diver crafted in collaboration with The Ocean Race organization. With only 200 numbered pieces worldwide, this timepiece merges Ulysse Nardin’s nautical heritage with eco-conscious materials, cutting-edge mechanics, and a refined yet rugged design.
Eco‑Technical Case Dial Composition
The case features a robust steel core accented with Nylo® composite—crafted from recycled fishing nets—and a sleek Carbonium® bezel made from aerospace-grade carbon fiber, offering both lightweight properties and ocean-driven innovation. Water-resistant to 300 m (30 ATM), this Diver is built for serious conditions and low environmental impact.
The dial reveals a sharp anthracite grey finish with bold power reserve and small seconds displays, and the façade is topped with an open sapphire caseback engraved with The Ocean Race logo.
Performance Movement – UN‑118 Automatic
Powering the watch is Ulysse Nardin’s in-house Caliber UN‑118, a COSC-certified automatic movement with a 60‑hour power reserve, 28,800 vph frequency, and patented DiamonSIL escapement supported by silicon components. The movement’s rotor is uniquely engraved with The Ocean Race emblem, visible through the sapphire caseback.
Fabric Strap Tailored for Activity
This /0A variant includes a grey textile fabric strap, woven partially from recycled fishing-net fibers, stitched with white and green accents that echo the race’s branding. It uses a secure Velcro “scratch” closure system engineered for active wear and wet environments.
Signature Edition Marine Aesthetic
Limited to just 200 pieces, each Diver “The Ocean Race” comes individually numbered and carries graphical tributes to the sailing competition—map coordinates and logo engravings adorn the caseback. It’s offered in eco‑friendly packaging, including a dry-bag pouch made from recycled ocean plastics.
