MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, ULYSSE NARDIN 2025, Ahmed Seddiqi, Carbon Fibre, Diver, Limited Edition, Titanium 0

Unveiled earlier this year at Watches and Wonders Geneva, the Ulysse Nardin Diver [AIR] set a new benchmark as the world’s lightest mechanical dive watch. We had the opportunity to try it out firsthand, and its weight — or rather, the lack of it — is truly remarkable. Now, Ulysse Nardin introduces a vibrant new iteration: the Diver [Air] Seddiqi, a special edition created in collaboration with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons to celebrate the retailer’s 75th anniversary.

A Collaboration Celebrating Innovation

Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, a cornerstone of luxury watch retail in the Middle East, marks its 75th anniversary with a series of collaborations featuring some of the industry’s most respected brands. Ulysse Nardin’s contribution stands out for its combination of cutting-edge materials, contemporary design, and exceptional lightness.

Design and Color Highlights

The Diver [Air] Seddiqi injects a bold vibrant blue theme into the minimalist Diver [AIR] design. The vivid blue tone can be found on the minute track, crown guards, seconds hand tip, and bezel markers, creating a striking contrast against the monochromatic structure.

These elements are enhanced with Super-LumiNova, allowing them to glow brightly in the dark — a functional and aesthetic nod to Ulysse Nardin’s diving heritage.

On the reverse side, the sapphire caseback reveals a blue Ulysse Nardin anchor logo on the rotor and a special 75th-anniversary emblem honoring Seddiqi’s milestone, adding a personal and commemorative touch.

Ultra-Light Construction

Despite its robust 44 mm case and 200-meter water resistance, the Diver [Air] Seddiqi remains astonishingly light, with the watch head weighing only 46 grams. This achievement is made possible by Ulysse Nardin’s use of recycled titanium, carbon fiber, and upcycled fishing nets.

Powering the watch is the in-house Caliber UN-374 automatic movement, an ultra-skeletonized caliber that operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and delivers an impressive 90-hour power reserve. The bridges and main plate are crafted from recycled titanium, while the silicon balance spring and escapement ensure precision, efficiency, and resistance to magnetic fields.

Straps and Comfort

The Diver Air Seddiqi comes with two straps. The first is an ultra-light elastic fabric strap in vibrant blue, weighing less than 6 grams, perfectly complementing the watch’s color theme. The second is a white rubber strap with a titanium clasp — the first rubber option offered for the Diver [Air] — combining durability with comfort.

Limited Edition and Availability

This exclusive edition is limited to just 30 pieces and available exclusively through Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. While pricing has not been disclosed, it is expected to be slightly above the standard Diver [Air], which retails for approximately USD 38,000.

A Collector’s Edition That Redefines Lightness

The Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] Seddiqi is a celebration of innovation, sustainability, and design. By combining cutting-edge materials with vivid detailing, it proves that even a professional dive watch can achieve both extreme performance and aesthetic refinement — all while weighing less than most traditional sports watches.
