What a truly stunning timepiece...
Thank you for sharing that and also for the excellent pics. That watch does bridge the gap between yesterday, today, and tomorrow for UN. I love the big date which depite being a bit of a fad is something I really like on modern watches. The only thing I am missing is the power reserve meter which I find useful as a complication.
Any chance of seeing a Stainless Steel version of this watch in the future.
A photo essay and some thoughts on the U.N 160
Here's a watch we don't often speak about, the Anniversary 160. A watch which is very important for every U.N Fan, as it houses the first U.N In House movement, an automatic caliber using the Dual Ulysse Escapement first seen in the ...Freak. It is not on...
You are right to showcase this specific model, Nicolas! ....
... it marks definitely a milestone in UN's history, and the number of small, unique details, such as the case and crystal shape, the lugs, the dial, the movement bridge (the only contemporary UN with this feature, since all others use balance cocks), mak...
I share your enthusiasm for this watch, Marcus.
I'm a bit surprised that we don't speak more about it... It has all an U.N watch must have: Innovation, Originality, a certain degree of sophistication, and an evocation of the brand's glorious past. Not everybody's taste, of course, but everybody's consi...
Good to see this one again
I am not sure I ever noticed that the case on this is ovalrather than perfectly round. Not as dramatic as a Millenery, but interesting and attractive.The blue is intense on this, especially in the photo you took in the sun. Definitely a special U.N., Nico...
A friendly companion since 3 years and an half, Respo.
This is one of the watches I brought me almost everywhere. A kind of UFO, in the current horological production, as almost each UN watch is... Thanks for your input, my friend. Best, Nicolas

Well, I don't know if U.N will make a SS version of this 160 Anniversary.
My guess is that they won't, as an Anniversary has to stay ...Exceptionnal. As you said, I love a lot the idea of a bridge between the Past, the Present, and the Future, in a watch. I'm sure U.N won't cease to suprise us with some stunning creations. Does...
What a gorgeous watch!
Interesting that it has the luminous dots set on the inside of the bezel rather than on the dial. Thanks for the excellent pictures.
Interesting detail, indeed...
The first Chronometer I saw with these dots applied on the inside of the bezel was ...The JLC Geophysique, in 1958! Best, and thanks for your input. Nicolas
The last picture was taken in Marrakech...;
I also took some pics of it in the palm trees, if I remember well. Best, and thanks for the enthusiastic comment. Nicolas
Thanks for the beautiful pictures
Thanks for posting this... I've had the pleasure of holding one and they are stunning!!! HAGWE, S
My pleasure, Sebastian
To be honest, when I first saw the pics of the 160 Anniversary, I was saying to myself " No Way ". Then, I had a call from my AD who told me that he just received one, and when I saw it in the flesh, I immediately changed my mind. This is one of these wat...
