Ulysse Nardin 2303-270 Freak X Carbonium Black Dial

The Ulysse Nardin 2303-270/CARB Freak X Carbonium is a remarkable innovation first introduced in 2019, reimagining the avant-garde Freak concept in a more accessible, versatile package. This 43mm masterpiece features a Carbonium case—a high-tech material derived from the aerospace sector—paired with a black PVD titanium core and sapphire crystal, combining lightness with striking visual complexity. The signature Freak carousel movement is showcased, with the central bridge doubling as the minute hand and a rotating wheel indicating hours, all driven by the self-winding Caliber UN-230, offering a robust 72-hour power reserve. With a nearly 50mm lug-to-lug span and a 14mm profile, the proportions are substantial yet wearable, and the design purposefully omits both a crown and hands in conventional form. An elevated black dial further amplifies the watch's technical aesthetic. The model continues Ulysse Nardin’s tradition of integrating technical breakthroughs into their timepieces, such as silicon balance wheels and ultra-light materials. The watch is water-resistant to 50 meters, emphasizing practicality within its futuristic design. Collectors value the Freak X for translating the boundary-pushing DNA of the original Freak into a daily-wearable, avant-garde iteration that remains rare and conversation-worthy in any horological context.
