Incidentally, the bezel makes a nice clicking sound when turned. The bezel is also slightly thicker, and although it still has a rubber insert, it drops the wavy pattern. The unidirectional bezel is concave now and features raised numerals and markers with Super-LumiNova on the 0. ![]() Looking at the old and 2019 chronographs side by side you can see how the serrated shark fin-style bezel of the earlier model has been exchanged for a more straightforward bezel with 12 notches and how the lugs have become more streamlined, abandoning the stepped feature. Like the 2016 chronograph, the latest Diver Chronographs measure 44mm and are equipped with the same UN-150 automatic calibre – meaning that the layout of the sub-dials and position of the pushers is identical – and are obviously still water-resistant to 300m. Less is more seems to be the new line of thinking at UN, and the latest Diver Chronograph models pick up on design cues from the recently revamped Diver Chronometer 42mm with a more restrained approach to decoration. Last year, Ulysse Nardin unveiled its redesigned Diver Chronometer, a pared-down and more contemporary approach to its flamboyant Divers of the past. If you look back at this limited edition Monaco Yacht Show 2016 Diver Chronograph, emblazoned like a stars and stripes flag and with enough decorative details to keep most sharks at bay, you can clearly appreciate the evolution. The new 2019 Ulysse Nardin Diver Chronograph 44mm is available in two regular models – 18k rose gold/blue and titanium/black – as well as a limited edition “Hammerhead Shark” in titanium/blue What’s new? Following last year’s evolutions on the 3-hand models, the brand now comes up with three new yet instantly recognizable Diver Chronographs. Still imposing, still bold, still unmistakably Ulysse Nardin, the new chronos benefit from the latest design upgrade and jettison a lot of ballast in favour of a lighter, more streamlined and contemporary look. After new watches in the Marine collection, it was time for the Diver to get a fresher look. Ulysse Nardin is clearly in the middle of an important restructuring process and updating most of its emblematic watches.
