Ulysse Nardin Unveils Limited-Edition Freak X Enamel Seddiqi
Ulysse Nardin has unveiled an exclusive version of its Freak X, continuing the model’s innovative legacy since its initial launch in 2019. This special edition, crafted in collaboration with Middle Eastern luxury retailer Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, introduces a striking new addition: an enamel layer on the guilloché dial. Limited to just 30 pieces, this model embodies Ulysse Nardin’s dedication to avant-garde horology and aesthetic excellence, making it a highly coveted timepiece for collectors.
Encased in durable Grade 5 titanium, the new Freak X measures a confident 43mm in width and 13.78mm in thickness, designed to stand out while maintaining a sleek profile. Its modern aesthetic is matched by practicality, featuring a sapphire crystal on both sides for enhanced durability and water resistance up to 50 meters. A noteworthy feature is the Freak X’s innovative use of a conventional crown at 3 o’clock, a unique addition to this model that blends tradition with the cutting-edge design language of the Freak collection.
The dial of this limited edition captures attention with its Yas Blue enamel coating, which enriches the intricate wave-patterned guilloché. The dynamic dial structure showcases the brand’s signature skeletonized bridge, functioning as a rotating minute hand, and a central plate with the hour indicator that completes two full revolutions daily. The hands and indexes are imbued with Super-LumiNova, ensuring readability even in low-light conditions and adding a luminous contrast against the rich blue background.
Powering this exceptional timepiece is the UN 230 automatic movement, a technical marvel comprising 405 components and 21 jewels. This movement is outfitted with a state-of-the-art silicon balance wheel and escapement, delivering precision and reliability at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (Vph) and offering an impressive 72-hour power reserve.
Completing the look, the watch is fitted with a textured black strap accented with white stitching and secured with titanium hardware, underscoring its luxury appeal. Priced at CHF 38,500, the Ulysse Nardin Freak X Yas Blue edition is available exclusively through Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, offering a rare opportunity for collectors to own a timepiece that merges technical sophistication with artistic design.
