Quick TakeThe Ulysse Nardin Blast Tourbillon Ref. 1723-400-3A/BLACK captures the essence of horological innovation with its titanium and ceramic construction and skeletonized design, revealing a high-frequency silicon flying tourbillon. The watch sets itself apart with a front-facing platinum micro-rotor and intricate design cues inspired by aerospace engineering, making it a standout piece for those who appreciate the confluence of daring design and technical mastery in their timepieces.

DescriptionThe Ulysse Nardin Blast Tourbillon Ref. 1723-400-3A/BLACK stands as a paradigm of modern watchmaking. Its robust 45mm case, a blend of titanium and ceramic, is built for endurance and style, while the skeletonized dial offers an unobstructed view of the UN-172 Manufacture movement within. Each of the 137 components, including the silicon escapement, is meticulously arranged to create a visual and technical masterpiece. The watch’s precision is apparent in its flying tourbillon, gracefully rotating at a frequency of 2.5 Hz, and encapsulated within an X-shaped cage reminiscent of cutting-edge aeronautics.

The aesthetic of this timepiece is marked by stark contrasts: the deep black of its components is vividly accented by bursts of red, creating a visual statement as bold as the watch's construction. The tessellated horns of the case amplify the watch's dynamic presence, mirroring the sharp angles found in modern stealth aircraft. Completing the ensemble is a supple rubber strap, which wraps the technology in comfort. Notably, the Blast Tourbillon introduces the novelty of a platinum micro-rotor, situated front and center, underscoring the brand’s innovative spirit by ensuring the automatic winding system remains both efficient and visually captivating.
