My Anniversary 160
Thanks for the tip, George. Great advice. I was actually wondering about this myself, given how much front surface area there is to the case. Fortunately, I'm pretty careful when it comes to even my less valuable timepieces. I'll be extra careful with this one. Of course, it only takes one slip...

Anniversary 160
Hi All, This is my first post to the Ulysse Nardin forum, having purchased a new UN Anniversary 160 in rose gold today. My favorite Bay Area retailer was having a UN Trunk Show, which also included the cool Orbita travelling circus. Er, um, I mean travell...
Welcome Bill 1 >>>
And congrats for this 160. This is a fantastic watch, in red or white gold. The case is spectacular, very well finished. The dial is perfctly executed. I see this watch as a modern interpretation of the Marine Chronometer. Wear it in the best of health! N...

Winding 160 Anniversary
Sans operating manual - I'm still waiting to receive the full packaging from UN - I haven't been very successful manually winding my 160. I was told, by my dealer, that 40 clockwise turns would be sufficient, but the watch still stops every night, usually...
Did the crown engage the barrel?
This is sometimes possible in the watch, in the 160, you will note that the date mech is special, and can be adjusted back and forth. The crown can may be in the first position, but not touching thebarrel at all. gently push it inwards..gently. When the c...
