The Ulysse Nardin Freak S Nomad is the newest representation of the Freak S series, that has been around since 2001. This time, it is a sand-colored version inspired by the hues of a desert storm. This time with a diamond guilloché decoration on the Freak S’s rotating hour disc. Again, it features no dial, no hands and no crown, sort of, which are the signature features of the Freak collection.

Like all Freaks the watch displays a large central flying carousel rotating around its axis which acts as the minute indicator. With white luminova. The diamond-shaped guilloché hour disc revolves below, with an hour ‘hand’. There are two oscillators with silicon balance wheels inclined at 20 degrees visible. Along with its escapements treated with high-tech DIAMonSIL, a form of diamond-coated silicon for more accuracy and robustness. The whole is built in a 45-millimeter titanium case with an anthracite PVD-coated titanium bezel.

The Ulysse Nardin Freak S Nomad has a power reserve of 72 hours

At the heart is the automatic Ulysse Nardin caliber UN-251. We’ve seen this caliber on the Ulysse Nardin Freak S Only Watch 2023 for instance. That model has a colorful movement, here it’s more monochrome, with bridges coated with anthracite PVD. The power reserve is 72 hours.

You have to strap choices for the Ulysse Nardin Freak S Nomad. First an anthracite rubber “ballistic” textured strap secured with a titanium deployant buckle. Or second, an anthracite open worked matt alligator leather strap with sand-colored calfskin leather inserts. Also with a titanium deployant buckle. The S Nomad is limited to 99 pieces only.
