Executive Dual Time.

Ulysse Nardin introduces ceramic, an innovative and imperishable material to the Dual Time collection. The Executive Dual Time offered in both stainless steel and 18 ct rose gold combines a beautifully designed ceramic bezel and ceramic pushers on a new 43 mm case.

The unique black dial features oversized Roman numerals and three-dimensional chiseled hands. Combining a traditional oversized small seconds register at 6 o’clock with a big date in a double window at 2 o’clock, the Executive Dual Time dial makes a strong statement.

Comprised of the patented Dual Time system, the plus and minus pushers at the 8 and 10 o’clock positions of the case are crafted in ceramic. When pressed, the pushers instantly adjust the hour hand to a different time zone while the home time indicator at 9 o’clock continues its’ 24 hour cycle.

The self-winding movement mechanism is visible through the sapphire crystal case back.
Each 43 mm case is individually numbered and equipped with a black lacquer screw-crown.
