Maybe they`ve set the bar too high. Ulysse Nardin has a look and standard that every watchmaker wants to emulate--and their latest model, the Black Sea Chronograph, is no exception.

Rugged yet polished, this watch features an oversized 45.8mm rubber-coated steel case, as well as a central chronograph second hand. A chronograph watch features a stopwatch that can record up to 12 hours of elapsed time. The minute counter measures 30 minutes per rotation. The chronograph second-hand measures in 1-second intervals. This watch boasts a permanent second in its counter at 3 o`clock, a 30 minute counter at the 9 o`clock mark, and a 12-hour counter at 6 o`clock as well as being water resistant up to 200mm.

As Ulysse Nardin states on their website, ``Below the water`s surface or on solid ground, this timepiece guides its wearers with exacting precision and endurance.``
