1960's ULYSSE NARDIN Vintage Mens Automatic Full Size Watch - Stainless Steel
Beautiful & Fine - Gorgeous Restored Condition - 1 Year Warranty






Beautiful & Fine - Gorgeous Restored Condition - 1 Year Warranty

There is something quietly powerful about a watch that doesn’t try too hard.

This full sized 35mm Ulysse Nardin showcases the kind of restrained confidence that a house with true horological pedigree can execute. For more than a century and a half, Ulysse Nardin has been synonymous with marine chronometers and precision timekeeping for the world’s navies. Here, that heritage is distilled into its purest form: a clean, balanced dial, a well-proportioned case, and an automatic movement beating steadily within.

Today's offering showcases this classic mens automatic Ulysse Nardin chronometer. It has a timelessly vintage styled case with waterproof style screw back and royal blue dial.

The deep blue sunburst dial is the centerpiece. Under changing light it moves from inky navy to electric cobalt, the radial brushing catching the light in a way that feels almost liquid. Applied baton markers and sharp, faceted hands float above the surface with crisp definition, while the anchor logo at 12 o’clock serves as a subtle nod to the brand’s maritime roots. There is no clutter, no excess - just symmetry, proportion, and calm.

At 35mm, the case wears with timeless versatility. It is in between the sizes of a Rolex Date and Datejust. It is large enough to have presence yet refined enough to slip effortlessly under a cuff. The slim polished bezel frames the dial with elegance, and the straight lugs give the watch a classic mid-century silhouette that never feels dated. This is the kind of sizing that feels intentional rather than trendy - proof that true design doesn’t need to follow fashion.

Inside, the automatic movement speaks to practicality as much as tradition. Wind it a bit, strap it on, and it becomes part of your rhythm - powered by motion, by life, by the everyday act of wearing it. It’s a mechanical companion rather than a static object.

It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.7 out of 10.

Its case presents as mint with very little signs of previous polishing. Its rich blue dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as UN factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the movement. It is running strong and true and keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

This is not a watch that shouts across the room. It rewards the closer look. It’s for someone who appreciates heritage without ostentation, craftsmanship without theatrics, and style that will look just as appropriate decades from now as it does today.
A timeless classic - in the truest sense of the phrase.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

Our Selling & Shipping Information:

  • 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience. We hope you love it!

  • The water resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't recommend showering or diving with it - even one that was originally designed to be waterproof.

  • We have extensive international shipping experience. In the last 12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).

  • All items are packaged very carefully and mailed in large reinforced shipping boxes appropriate for high value items so you don't need to worry about your watch arriving safely. Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch is coming in!

    (Please do remember though that while we do our very best and have careful procedures and quality control inspections - we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you -
    from time to time some courier workers don't handle packages the way we think that they would want their own packages to be handled.

    Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping of most is governed by a small spring that is only about 1/8 the thickness of a human hair. The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem free. However at times vintage watches
    and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier handling or just having a difficult trip to you.

    But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell (unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're going to wear your new watch!

  • Our official warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse, being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage, tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just might be able to help you.

  • Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.

  • To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not to end an auction early.

  • Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
