Only hint I have is a season: we have to wait until fall/autumn ...
... personally, I hope the new watch would not be a highly complicated and expensive one. A new GMT? Currently, there is no big date mechanism on the movement. However, due to the larger size the conventional date ring permits larger numerals as well. The single problem of UN's patented big date is that it dictates the same location on the dial, at 1. A large peripheral date ring permits more options in placing the date window.
If we are lucky, we might even see a new Marine series with the UN-118? Just pure speculation, without any background knowledge.

After Genghis Kan, another nice page of History with this one.
Another nice variation of an already existing watch, but is there something really new this year, at U.N, Marcus? Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-03-24 23:35:01
Well, the UN-118 movement is something new, would't you agree? ...
However, we will have to wait for the first watch powered by it to be presented later this year. Regards, Marcus
Teasing by the movement ...
That is what I feared... And like at the same time! Brilliant. No hints? A good teasing is always served with some hints. Best, Nicolas.
