Ulysse Nardin Blast Moonstruck

Ulysse Nardin's Blast Moonstruck, reference 1063-400-2A/1A, has a 45 mm case in titanium and ceramic. The case measures 15.12 mm thick, and the dial sits under a sapphire crystal. Inside is the self-winding calibre UN-106, running with 42 jewels and a power reserve of 50 hours. The dial is finished in an earth-toned motif, a nod to the geocentric theme of the piece. It comes on an alligator and rubber strap, giving the heavy case a lighter feel on the wrist. Ulysse Nardin rates the case to 30 metres, a figure that suits its role as an instrument watch rather than a tool for diving.
