“We wanted to demonstrate with the concept of the Diver Net that we can use marine waste to produce a very high-quality luxurious product,”<\/em> explains Patrick Pruniaux, President and CEO of Ulysse Nardin, via a digital presentation.<\/p>\n For the past few years, the definition of luxury has been slowly evolving, now incorporating important concepts like recyclability and sustainability. At the start of one of the most adventurous and unique sailing races this month, Ulysse Nardin has found the perfect moment to bring attention to finding a solution to one of the critical issues of the planet, global warming.<\/p>\n The Diver Net is a concept watch linked to UN\u2019s Diver X series dedicated to the Vendee Globe, an unrelenting yacht race that takes place every four years, referred to as the \u201cEverest of the Sea.\u201d For approximately four months, solo sailors face grueling conditions of the Atlantic and Southern oceans in mono-hull yachts without stops, support, or technical assistance. Named after the D\u00e9partement of Vend\u00e9e, the French port where the race starts and ends, brave sailors circumnavigate the globe for over 40,000 kilometers in the earth\u2019s roughest seas. Featuring silicon-based technology in the UN-118 movement, the rest of the concept watch looks to be as environmentally conscious as possible. The concave uni-directional bezel is also made from fishing nets, and green design details, including the acid green SuperLuminova, allude to its links to nature. A power reserve indicator at twelve, a date window, and a small second hand at six add to the useful functionality. The ultimate goal of the Diver Net is to inspire the shutting down of new plastic production worldwide, therefore reducing marine pollution levels. With the recycling of fishing nets, Ulysse Nardin has come up with a concrete start to help in this process. Without a doubt, recycled materials are a necessity for the future.
