The new Regatta Chronograph from Ulysse Nardin
delivers an innovative function, developed with input from the sailors
competing with Artemis Racing for the America's Cup. The regatta function at
the centre of the dial displays the countdown with an arrow pointing to a
yellow minute scale from 0 to 10. This hand is set with a pusher at 10 o’Clock
and moves in a counterclockwise direction when the countdown starts. At the
same time, the two-way chronograph seconds hand ticks away the seconds, also in
a counterclockwise direction. When the countdown reaches 0, signalling the
start of the race, the seconds hand instantly and automatically starts moving
in the clockwise direction to begin timing the race, measured by an hours and
minutes subdial at 6 o’clock. Presented with an ocean blue or sea foam dial.
