Ulysse Nardin 2303-270/MAGMA-BQ Freak X Magma Carbon Black Dial

Released in 2022, the Ulysse Nardin Freak X Magma reference 2303-270/MAGMA-BQ pushes technical and aesthetic boundaries as a distinct evolution within the avant-garde Freak collection. The Magma edition's case is sculpted from ultra-lightweight carbon fiber, infused with vibrant red marbled epoxy resin—ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike and reinforcing its presence as a genuinely unique creation. With its bold color palette and radical design, the Freak X Magma returns to the Freak line’s roots, celebrated for revolutionizing mechanical watchmaking. Inside, the self-winding UN-230 caliber melds in-house innovation with everyday wearability, featuring the signature carousel movement with the entire movement doubling as the minute hand—a pioneering horological concept. The 43mm monobloc case is strikingly contemporary yet remains wearable, while the sizable crown at 3 o’clock marks a functional leap from earlier crownless Freaks. The watch’s technical prowess is visible both in its innovative use of materials and in the exceptional engineering of its flying carrousel movement. With its radical design language, collector-grade movement execution, and low production, the Freak X Magma remains a defining statement in Ulysse Nardin’s modern portfolio—a model celebrated among enthusiasts for its blend of risk-taking aesthetics and pioneering mechanics.
