To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the brand’s Marine collection,the new Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronograph Annual Calendar was introduced earlier this year at Baselworld. Patrik Hoffman, the brand’s CEO, talked about it in the interview that we did during Baselworld, and in the past weeks we had the privilege to wear and test the watch.Inside ticks the newly developed calibre UN-153, which actually is the in 2014 introduced Ulysse Nardin in-house chronograph calibre UN-150, with an additional annual calendar mechanism.
