Ulysse Nardin Classico Manara Manufacture

Ulysse Nardin's Classico Manara Manufacture, reference 3203-136LE-2/MANARA.01, comes in a 40 mm steel case. The case measures 10.2 mm thick and closes with a sapphire crystal over the dial. This is a limited edition, one of only ten pieces made in collaboration with Italian comic artist Milo Manara. Inside is the self-winding calibre UN-320, which runs with a silicon escapement and holds a 48 hour power reserve. An alligator leather strap fits the case, keeping the presentation understated despite the subject matter. Only ten examples of this piece exist worldwide. Water resistance is limited to 30 metres, so this is a watch for the desk rather than the pool.
