An early blue UN before blue was such a ‘thing’
The Blue Max Ref 263-58 created by Rolf and the UN team.
Made in SS and gold versions. 999 pieces but I can’t recall if that was both metals.
Of course the blued movement was quite a novelty then.
I bought this one new on 27 Dec 2002.
Remains with me joined by Blue Surf, Blue Wave and others…good old UN days.

Hope UN returns to past glory 👍🏻🤞🏻
Nice piece and as you say, ahead of the times back then 😊👏🏻
Only…
Companies don’t have to age at the same rate as people 😉 But you’re very right in this case I fear 🤷🏻♂️
Remember…
To name a few. Not just a different metal or dial color but real exciting stuff: Who else did anything as diverse in a relatively short period? Seems impossible. - The Trilogy Set: Astolabium, Tellurium, Copernicus. Probably the pinnacle to own. - Hourstr...
It was a tour de force indeed…
Sadly it petered out at some point and has not yet been resumed 🤷🏻♂️
I also bought one when it came out. Foolishly let go. Not too many years later, massive regret. Many years later I finally found a worthy replacement. I went from mint to acceptable but happy
to have one again. Lesson learned (I hope!). Love the unique golfball dimpled dial! ...
The good old UN days indeed.
I remember them fondly. And you still have the entire set - Blue Max, Blue Surf, Blue Wave!
Awesome. I love this blue surf.
I remember you also have the Columbus set, among your other UN marvels.... So you have 2 sets of three with the same case numbers!
I was very much into the brand in the early 2000’s
Era of Rolf, Ludwig and Patrick. I will post a few more separately.
