I really want to like it more than I do. I like what I see of the case
Also the strap has a nice new detail in the rubber. But overall, just too bold on the bezel and markers for my taste. Pity for me, as I have been craving a completely new Diver from UN for some years now.
Thanks for posting the photo. There are elements I am enthusiastic about -
The easy to grip bezel, the off center seconds counter. But overall, a bit too "cartoonish" for me with the massively sized numerals and markers. I know, a diver needs to be easy to read. But these brands forget that water magnifies... pointless to make t...
I agree here.
This is a cool concept with no practical value. Wonder what buyer this is marketed to?
Watches are getting a little big.
You are welcome. Yeah, it does make you wonder who it is marketed to. Although, it is eye-catching at first look.

What bothers me is the dial.
Back in the day i owned the hammerhead version of the marine diver. It had the exact same dial as this watch and was limited to 1000 pieces. It kinda makes no sense to put that same dial but in black on a new model!
The marketing team did mention it...
...but I didn't take note. I'll check the press kit for details later, if they have any.
Limited to 300 pieces per press kit. [nt]
Also mentioned on the website link as noted in the message below.
This is the Ulysse Nardin Diver Deep Dive
Link to the UN Diver Deep Dive is here: Not sure about the name though. A little repetitive if you ask me. - AT
Not sure about the colors in your photo...
There's a Blue & Ti on their website. I can't tell if the lighting is off, or if your photo is of a bronze case with grey dial, which to me would luck MUCH better than the blue & grey. As for "who would wear this?" Umm, in bronze and grey...ME! Of course ...
It's the lighting that makes it look bronze.
But, not a bad idea for a combination - bronze and grey.
I actually like it....
after watching a hands on video review of it. It’s bold, daring and it’s something different. The unique extendable strap is cool too. I just can’t stop thinking that the deep dive hammerhead shark is the offspring of an U-Boat watch and an Omega Ploprof....
Since you mention the Ploprof ...
... I would prefer that to the UN, that's for sure. Marcus
