With Ulysse Nardin original Certificado de Garantia dated 3 April 1962 and stamped by Hora Mundial, Ulysse Nardin's agent in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
According to the Archives of Ulysse Nardin, the present watch was manufactured in 1953.
This watch is a rare example of one of Ulysse Nardin's 1950s chronograph wristwatches, featuring a highly unusual, beautifully aged silvered dial with mirrored edges, omitting all technical outer scales (tachymetre, telemetre or pulsometre) that one would usually expect on such a watch. Consequently the entire layout could be modified by moving the numerals further to the edge and enlarging the subsidiary dials. This results in better readability, both of the fifths seconds on the outer scale and the indications on the subsidiary dials. Interestingly due to the different dial proportions, the watch appears to be larger. The watch is furthermore preserved in very good original overall condition.
