This is a keeper, you get there!
Fabulous UN watch, with an enamrl dial if I'm not wrong, and in this platinum case, it achives to give it the exclusivity it deserves.
Congrats, and enjoy it!!!
Nicolas.
PS...More piiics, please!

You are, of course, correct about the baked enamel dial and pt. case.

More pics of this piece and others soon to follow.

Dan-

A superb timepiece.  I really like the thickness... substantial, but not thicker than required.  Extremely legible watch.

As is the case with most UN's, the 160 Chronometer must really been seen, felt and worn to fully appreciate its characteristics and charm . Of all the UN's I've worn, I can honestly say this piece far and away possesses the most inert beauty of them all, combining timeless design and old world workmanship within a modern timepiece.

You are quite correct about its relatively slim size for a 43mm watch, which makes for a very comfortable fit.

 

 

Wear it in good health.

It took all but 30 seconds to decide whether or not to buy this piece once I saw it, which is not a good thing to be honest.

With that said, there is something eternal about this piece that cannot be captured on film.

Thanks for the very kind words, I will try to do so.

Hi Dan,

i own the Anniversary 160 in rose gold.  Mine also came with the barometer, in what must be some kind of record for over-the-top packaging.  Not that I'm complaining!  Congratulations on your Marine 160, a terrific piece.

best,

bill

Thanks in advance!
Best.

Your analysis is spot on regarding the extraordinary amount of grace, detail, and design U.N. has ensconced the 160 with. Of all the timepieces I have ever purchased over the years, this pieces box set is by far and wide the most exceptionally crafted one within my collection.

Thanks for the very kind words.

Let me ask you a question though, Dan.  If you could have purchased the same watch for a couple of thousand less, by foregoing the barometer and fancy boxes, would you?  I've wondered a bit about that myself.  I have to say that I love the packaging.  It was really something to get all this extra stuff, so to speak.  But, did I really need a barometer and second watch box?  I can't help but think it must have added a significant expense to couch the 160 in all this glitter.

I wore my 160 yesterday and got a couple of unsolicited and favorable comments.  That's always a sign I'm wearing something special when other people, even those not familiar with high end watches, feel moved to comment.

best,

... I have no real need or desire for a fancy watch box or barometer, as they tend to only occupy a very dark closet for all eternity in my case. If given the choice, I would have taken a pass on the above, and undoubtedly saved a substantial amount as you are very well aware.

With that said, I really don't think we have a lot to complain about either. The additional box and barometer is simply spectacular in its own right, as it really punctuates the very special nature of owning a 160, and more importantly, the very special feeling I get every time I proudly strap it on.

I had the chance to try on the Anniversary 160 at my AD last week for the first time and loved it. With hundreds of watches on display for one to choose from there, my eyes instinctively fell for this pieces complete and utter elegance. Congratulations to you Bill for owning such a magnificent U.N.
