Saw this last night on tv on that pawn brokers tv show that’s been on recently. It’s an Ulysse Nardin but no idea on the model or if any are for sale. Just really liked it.

Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronograph I believe.

Not sure the exact reference as it looks like they did a few variations..

Thanks for the reply. Yes that does look like the one. Can't find any online for sale though. I liked the white face with the gold and blue hands.

Probably find something similar here by filtering on Marine & Chronometer.

The owner accepted a £7k offer on it IIRC, accepted an offer on a late Bond Omega and a titanium chrono IWC as well. You just know that the broker will make a bit on those.

Yes its a shame as I'd have happily paid him more! Not often I see something that takes my fancy but that did for some reason. Don't have a gold faced watch either as generally not keen on them.

I watched the program, thought the dealer massively overpaid for it. UN make great watches. Very popular in Russia, so maybe worth looking there but with your eyes wide open.

These are 10+ years old so almost certainly made before ETA stopped selling movements to other companies, would imagine a 2892 with module
