Review Ulysse Nardin Freak Gumball 3000 Limited Edition

First of all, the material. When it comes to racing elements, it is inevitable to use carbon fiber, the same material as racing sports cars. The size of the Ulysse Nardin Freak X series watches is uniformly 43 mm, and the case flanks of this new watch are made of Carbonium® carbon cation material. This high-tech composite material that Athens first introduced into the watch industry also has performance dimensions that exceed traditional racing engineering materials, because it is recycled from aviation-grade carbon fiber. The material performance is extremely guaranteed under strict standards. The use of the same material as the aircraft also allows Athens to achieve the ultimate balance between material strength and lightness.

In terms of visual presentation, the Carbonium® carbon cation material used by Athens also has a clear aesthetic difference from the texture of traditional forged carbon, and it has a more flowing beauty. The middle case, crown and other shell parts of FreakX are made of black-plated titanium. Athens uses a combination of titanium and carbon, so that the total weight of the watch is only 96.1 grams after our actual measurement, less than 100 grams, and the wearing feel is extremely light and burden-free, combined with the outstanding ergonomic design, it is very comfortable to wear. The iconic nameplate design is retained on this side of the shell, which is used to engrave an independent number. 150 means that the new work is limited to 150 pieces.

As for color, it is the color matching of the new watch. Ulysse Nardin also quoted a lot of Gumball3000's iconic tones. A touch of bright orange is placed on the end of the carrousel movement bridge, which also serves as a pointer, through the orange Super-LumiNova luminous coating, making the minute hand more eye-catching. It also includes the use of orange to embellish the lower dial, which is used to indicate the hour. The inlaid triangular hour markers.

The most eye-catching design of the Freak X watch is the silicon balance wheel that keeps beating and running, which was created by Athens through its own silicon technology company Sigatec using deep reactive ion etching DRIE technology. This large silicon balance wheel is highly hollowed out after photolithography and is equipped with a blade-shaped nickel counterweight. It is very light, so it has excellent operating efficiency. Many watch friends also think that it is more ornamental than the traditional carrousel, and the mechanical aesthetics are more three-dimensional and prominent, and the beauty is no less than the tourbillon.

Flipping the watch, Ulysse Nardin also printed the orange Gumball 3000 rally LOGO pattern on the back of the sapphire glass. As for the movement, the watch is equipped with Ulysse Nardin' self-produced UN-230 automatic movement. This carousel movement, which is derived from the UN-118 movement, has excellent performance. After all, carousel is the same as the tourbillon, which was born to fight against gravity and make the watch more accurate. In addition, the UN-230 also brings together the multiple advantages of Ulysse Nardin' previous self-produced movements. Not only does it have Ulysse Nardin' full set of silicon material technology hardware, silicon escapement and silicon hairspring, it also uses DIAMonSIL diamond silicon crystal technology. In addition to using silicon to give the watch anti-magnetic ability, it also strengthens the silicon material itself, is not affected by temperature changes, and has better strength and elasticity. It also uses smooth and low-friction characteristics to enhance the power transmission efficiency of the watch. The basic data of this movement is a swing frequency of 21,600 times per hour, and a full chain power reserve can provide 72 hours.
