Ulysse Nardin is one of the world's best-known manufacturers of high-end, exclusive timepieces, that only a limited number of people can afford, and that's pretty much the case with their latest creation, the Black Sea Watch.

The Swiss manufacturers' latest creation is also the latest addition to the company's well-known Maxi Marine Diver collection, designed specifically for those people that are truly passionate about aquatic sports and actually afford to pay the premium typically associated to such a product.

However, said premium is quite well worth it, given the fact that we're talking about a rugged, all weather sports diving timekeeper that doesn't require a battery, its self-winding movement featuring a 42-hour power reserve and indicator.

Additionally, the high-end timepiece comes equipped with a specially treated stainless-steel case that packs a matte-black rubbed coating and is waterproof down to a depth of around 200 meters, as well as as an oversized small seconds register and a large date display.

Since we're on the topic of time indicators, we'll also have to mention that hour markers, as well as hour and minute hands are covered with red luminescent material to provide a better level of visibility while submerged or in low-light conditions.

It's also important to mention that the Black Sea's power-reserve indicator is situated at 12 o’clock while the small seconds and round date are displayed at 6 o’clock.

The watch also sports a unidirectional rotating bezel and a screwed crown, plus a black ceramic folding clasp, and a signature wave pattern decorating the black, structured strap and dial, thus granting it quite an elegant look, despite its sporty nature.

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to come across any information related to the pricing of this very impressive masterpiece, but given its features, plus brand, we're quite sure that it won't come cheap at all.
