Do you know? What transformation has Ulysse Nardin’s “Rhapsody of the Moon” series undergone from the first to the third generation? Especially the latest third generation is not only eye-catching in appearance, but also greatly improved in function! Its design inspiration and luxurious materials really make people want to check it out. Let us uncover the mystery of this watch together!

Ulysse Nardin Moon Rhapsody

Ulysse Nardin is a famous Swiss watch brand, and its self-produced UN106 automatic movement is the epitome of its watchmaking technology. There are 335 parts in the movement, the swing frequency is 28,800 times per hour, and the power reserve is 50 hours. The performance is very superior.

Ulysse Nardin’s “Astronomical Trilogy” was created by watchmaker Dr. Oaklin in 1985. Today, these three watches have become indispensable classics in the history of Ulysse Nardin, and among them, the “Rhapsody of the Moon” is even more popular.

There are many legends about “Moon Fantasy”. The product we are talking about today is the third generation product, and both the first and second generations have left a deep impression on us.

The first generation was launched in 2009. At that time, the earth pattern was made of micro-painted enamel technology, which was very delicate; the second generation was launched in 2017, adding a world time function and further improving the practicality of this watch.

The public price of the rose gold version, which is limited to 20 pieces, is 727,400 yuan, while the public price of the regular version is 674,600 yuan, which is 50,000 yuan cheaper. Although it is 50,000 yuan more expensive, the limited edition is only 20 pieces. This is more like a collection strategy.

Because even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. This scarcity often makes some watch fans even crazier.

The use of rose gold not only enhances the luxury of the entire watch, but also makes the design of the Ulysse Nardin watch more eye-catching. The addition of the world time function and calendar design has significantly improved the practicality of this watch and can meet the needs of modern consumers.

The Moon Crazy watch has undergone great changes from the first to the third generation. Let’s first review the first and second generations.

The most impressive thing about the first generation is the micro-painted earth pattern on it. At that time, there was no world time function, so its collection value was higher than its use value.

Although the second generation added the world time function, many watch fans did not like this generation because the earth pattern was moved to the bottom of the dial.

Everyone is very satisfied with the third generation of works, because it not only inherits the advantages of the first two generations of works, but also has significant improvements in appearance and functionality.

Many people describe it like this: “Like a stealth fighter”. This is of course because its lug design is very special and the overall shape is very avant-garde.

And unlike previous luxury goods that used white gold and platinum, the third generation of Moon Crazy uses rose gold as the main material, which makes the entire watch more in line with the aesthetics of Eastern consumers and also enhances the sense of luxury.

The most important thing is that the third generation of Lunar Crazy has been upgraded on the movement. It is no longer the UN106 movement used in the previous two generations, but replaced with the UN-172 movement.

The biggest highlight of this movement is that the earth and city names are placed under the sapphire crystal. This does not affect the beauty of the entire dial, but can clearly display the time and information about major cities.

The sun disk is made of bronze pyroxene material, and its granular texture simulates the state of the sun’s surface; while the moon is presented in a petal-like pattern.

The most surprising thing about this generation of works is that it is equipped with calendar display and city selection functions, which have not been seen in previous works, and these two functions are very in line with the needs of modern consumers, which can be said to be very considerate.

The new Blast series of Moon Rhapsody launched by Ulysse Nardin in 2022 integrates the characteristics of the “Astronomical Trilogy” and improves its appearance and function. It can be said to be a very excellent new work.

Conclusion

In short, Ulysse Nardin’s “Rhapsody of the Moon” series is not only a watch, but also a perfect combination of art and technology. Especially the third generation is really eye-catching, with both practicality and collection value. Do you think this watch is worth buying?
