Steeped in maritime tradition, the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Manufacture translates the precision of historic marine instruments into an elegant wristwatch.
Why we love it
The Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Manufacture reference 1185-126/45 embodies a perfect blend of maritime tradition and cutting-edge watchmaking expertise. Encased in polished stainless steel, its substantial 43mm diameter is enhanced by a fluted rose gold bezel, evoking the elegance of marine chronometers. The lacquered brown dial, adorned with crisp Roman numerals, is a canvas of functionality, featuring a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, a small seconds sub-dial at six o’clock, and a seamlessly integrated date display.
At its heart lies the in-house calibre UN-118, a COSC-certified movement renowned for its precision and innovative silicium escapement, a hallmark of Ulysse Nardin's technological advancements. With a robust 60-hour power reserve, the movement ensures reliability while highlighting the brand’s commitment to horological mastery. Designed for modern explorers, the watch boasts 100 metres of water resistance, making it as practical as it is refined. The Marine Chronometer Manufacture not only pays homage to Ulysse Nardin's rich maritime legacy but also sets a benchmark in contemporary precision timekeeping.

Provenance
At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
