In honor of Veteran?s Day last week, Ulysse Nardin revealed a new Diver Chronometer done in collaboration with a group called One More Wave. The organization, which is based in San Diego, was founded by former Navy Seal Alex West with the goal of reducing veteran suicide rates by providing them access to surfing, as well other veterans within the group. One More Wave will create custom surfboards for combat veterans allowing them to hit the waves without skipping a beat (and in style to boot). The watch created with Ulysse Nardin celebrates this organization, and looks to bring a bit of exposure to their incredibly important goals. It just so happens to be a pretty cool diver as well. 

The Diver Chronometer is the second watch to celebrate the collaboration between Ulysse Nardin and One More Wave, with the first coming in their Diver Deep Dive guise. The Diver Chronometer 44 is a bit more approachable, with a 44mm black titanium case that gets a rather short lug design, so wearability is strong even at 44mm. This is also helped in part by the articulating link set in the middle of the 6 o?clock strap side that is unique to UN. I?ll admit it looks a bit odd, but it allows for the watch to sit flush on the wrist without being propped up by any stiff sections of the strap. That said, it?s a regular lug set up so swapping to a different option is an easy spring bar tool away.
The One More Wave edition gets a gray, black, and teal blue colorway that works well togeth...
