When it came to early navigation, latitude was measured using celestial objects like the North Star. Longitude,...however, was far more difficult, as it required knowing the precise time. It was not until John Harrison, credited with developing the first marine chronometer in the 18th century, that navigation became more precise and ultimately safer. That is where Ulysse Nardin’s journey begins, making marine chronometers in 1846 and ultimately becoming legendary for their reliability and accuracy.
Today, the brand continues its tradition of honoring the past while maintaining its high standard for timekeeping, building the kind of watch you appreciate more the longer you sit with it. Not because it hides tricks, but because everything it does feels confidently right. The Marine Chronometer has that rare sense of life, where design, function, and heritage move together naturally.
The dial is unmistakably Ulysse Nardin. Bold Roman numerals give it gravity, the power reserve at 12 adds rhythm and personality, and the small seconds at 6 keeps it grounded in precision. It’s expressive without being ornamental, purposeful without feeling rigid. You can feel the lineage of marine chronometers in the way information is laid out, clear, balanced, and quietly authoritative.
On the wrist, it carries a reassuring presence without excess. At 41 mm, it is solid, composed, and easy to live with. It’s the kind of watch you reach for because it feels comfortable, not because it’s trying to make a statement.
The 1183-900 speaks to anyone who appreciates watches as more than objects, people drawn to craftsmanship, history, and the culture that surrounds mechanical timekeeping. Whether you’re deep into the hobby or simply value meaningful design, this is a watch that connects on a deeper level.

To qualify as a Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned, a watch must meet superior standards of quality.

Fully Serviced
Every Bucherer Certified Authentic Pre-Owned watch is guaranteed to function within its original factory specifications. Each watch goes through a careful restoration process conducted by one of our master watchmakers. Our restoration process begins with a full movement service and overhaul if necessary to inspect each and every piece of the movement. Next, each piece is cleaned, lubricated and put back together. Any worn or broken parts are replaced using only original manufacture parts to maintain authenticity. The restoration process includes expert cleaning and polishing, testing of water pressure and magnetization and the replacement of straps.
