Limited Edition of 173 Pieces
The pioneering partnership between Ulysse Nardin the United States Navy began in 1905, when the Washington Naval Observatory organised a competition for 'Precision Torpedo Boat Timepieces'. The goal of the competition was to supply the U.S. Navy with the best available on-board chronometers. These precision time-pieces, given to superior naval officers, were meant to provide the torpedo boats with an hour of reference as accurate and reliable as those on the largest naval vessels. Ulysse Nardin won the competition several years in a row and became the official supplier of the American Navy.
The case, in polished and satin stainless steel, measures 44mm. Fluted steel bezel. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back, and it is water resistant to 50 meters. The caseback is laser engraved with "U.S. Limited Edition" and the "Semper Fortis" motto.
