Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Moonphase Aventurine 1193-310LE-3A-AVE/1A

The Watch: The Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Aventurine Dial (Ref. 1193-310LE-3A-AVE/1A) blends marine chronometer heritage with celestial elegance. Part of the Marine Torpilleur collection, which draws from Ulysse Nardin’s 19th-century nautical timepieces, this model adds a modern twist with a mesmerizing aventurine glass dial—meant to evoke a starlit night at sea.

The 42mm stainless steel case is classic yet substantial. The dial features a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, a sub-seconds with moonphase at 6, and Roman numerals in silver, all perfectly balanced across the aventurine backdrop.

Inside beats the UN-118 in-house movement, COSC-certified with a 48-hour power reserve and silicon escapement, showcasing Ulysse Nardin’s technical innovation. Seen through the sapphire caseback, the movement is beautifully finished and features a custom rotor.

Paired with a deep blue alligator strap and deployant buckle, this Torpilleur is a modern marine chronometer with poetic detail and horological substance.
