Review Ulysse Nardin Blast Moonstruck 1065-400LE-2A-BLACK/1A

The Ulysse Nardin Blast Moonstruck 1065-400LE-2A-BLACK/1A inherits the sleek case design of the BLAST Skeleton Tourbillon watch, featuring iconic lugs. Its angular design is directly inspired by stealth fighters https://www.firstwatchclone.co/.

For its astronomical display, Ulysse Nardin uses an aventurine dial to simulate a brilliant starry sky. Its core highlight is its accurate reproduction of the sun's orbit and the moon's actual path as seen from Earth. The center of the dial depicts the sky above the North Pole, where delicate micro-engraving creates a clear map of the Northern Hemisphere, seamlessly blending astronomy and geography.

A globe-shaped ring around the outer circumference of the dial houses the date scale. Beneath the elliptical disc representing the moon's orbit around Earth lies a complex gear train that drives the moon's intricate cycles of waxing and waning. The sun on the dial is crafted from bronzite and moves in accordance with real time. Ulysse Nardin has upgraded the moon phase function to a precision system with an accuracy of just one day every 40 years. The moon's age is clearly marked on the moon itself.

The GMT function is equally intuitive and convenient. The outer ring of the dial clearly displays the names of the representative cities in each of the 24 time zones. However, unlike the more common linked, adjustable city rings, the Lunar Rhapsody's city ring is fixed and does not move with adjustment. To use it, simply adjust the inner 24-hour day/night ring to the correct time for your city. Once set, it's set and never needs to be adjusted again. When traveling to another time zone, simply refer to the outer ring of world cities and the accompanying hour ring to easily read the time in that city. To change time zones, the Ulysse Nardin dual time zone quick-adjust mechanism allows the hour hand to be quickly advanced forward or backward in hourly increments, making switching between time zones a breeze.

The UN-106 automatic movement, designed and developed by Ulysse Nardin and Master Oaklin, features 335 components, including a silicon escapement and balance spring, integrating astronomical and universal time functions. It boasts a power reserve of 50 hours.
