Zheng He, a prominent historical figure, embarked on seven monumental voyages, significantly enhancing China’s influence globally. His fleet, with hundreds of ships, was the epitome of maritime prowess and extended their reach to Southeast Asia and even as far as Arabia and Africa.
The Classico collection’s design intricately showcases the majestic Zheng He Treasure Ship, a notable detail Ulysse Nardin has chosen to highlight. The watch dial features stunning relief miniatures that bring the grandeur of these historic expeditions to life.
Crafted in 904L stainless steel, the watch features a 40mm case with a sapphire crystal. Its water resistance reaches a depth of 50 meters. On the dial, the rhodium-plated hands glow with Super Luminova, ensuring visibility even at night.
