Ulysse Nardin Releases Four-Piece Blast Watch Collection

A bold, new timepiece bursts onto the scene, inspired by the turbulent forces of nature.

Emblazoned with the luxury Swiss watchmaker’s signature “X” emblem, the Blast watch combines a rock-solid frame with smooth, geometrical lines. The result calls for a crisp design that gets the job done stylishly and efficiently. Taking its cues from the volcanos and ice glaciers that drove the design—Blast merges seemingly opposing elements, such as a satin-finish case and a rugged openwork face, to create a noteworthy appearance.

After 18 months in the making, every detail has been executed with immaculate precision. In addition to the distinctive “X,” other notable brand hallmarks are featured in this specimen of modern craftsmanship. Admire its subtle rectangular frame, its striking color combinations and compact form.

To celebrate the release, Ulysse Nardin is partnering with nature photographer Carsten Peter, who captures not only some of the world’s most mind-blowing landscapes, but also the universal human desire to journey beyond the mundane. With its Blast collection, Ulysse Nardin aspires to do the same.

The Blast watch comes with multiple strap options, including leather, rubber and velvet. Four models are available in blue, black, white and rose gold finishing, making it the multi-season watch that suits the moment—no matter what the forecast holds.
