- The Ulysse Nardin Executive Dual Time Ref. 243-00 is a discontinued model that was first introduced in 2009. Designed with the modern traveler in mind, this sophisticated timepiece features a stainless steel case paired with a black ceramic bezel, offering both durability and contemporary appeal. While the model was also available in rose gold, this present example stands out for its bold, modern aesthetic, enhanced by broad lugs and the brand’s proprietary strap. The signed black enamel crown adds a refined finishing touch, balancing the watch’s assertive design with a note of elegance.

- Beyond its striking appearance, the watch excels in functionality. The black ceramic bezel, though glossy in appearance, is scratch-resistant, ensuring lasting beauty. Together with the anti-reflection coating, the large date window display at 2 o’clock further enhances legibility. Furthermore, a digital-style second time zone at 9 o’clock can be adjusted via two black ceramic pushers on the left side of the case—without disrupting the home time. Notably, the watch is powered by an in-house dual-time movement, the Caliber UN024, which offers a 42-hour power reserve and underscores Ulysse Nardin’s commitment to technical excellence.
