Catalogue Essay
This stainless steel beauty, reference 7536-2, is an innovative piece that was produced in the 1960s by the highly prestigious Ulysse Nardin company founded in 1846. To date, this small elite company has registered more patents for technical developments than most other Swiss luxury watchmakers.
Not only the case design but also the dial with its subsidiary dials and hour markers closely resemble Rolex’s widely acclaimed Oyster Cosmograph. The tachymeter bezel is a single anodized piece of aluminum instead of an insert with steel, unlike most chronographs from the time. The beauty of this piece is showcased in its details including heavy sculptured lugs, a white chronograph second hand and applied Ulysse Nardin logo and hour markers on the matte black dial. Interestingly, the Ulysse Nardin is 1mm larger than its better-known cousin made by Rolex. A small but most noticeable difference…
It’s an understated wristwatch for the avid collector, sure to impress as a result of its robust size and sporty appeal, also thanks to its rich chocolate-brown ‘tropical’ dial.
