The modern Ulysse Nardin Marine Regatta timepiece has a special countdown timer that can be set for up to ten minutes. After the start, the second hand moves counterclockwise - the higher the time span, the further the timer is "reset". When the countdown is over, the second hand will continue clockwise as usual. The special function can be found in a circle in the middle of the dial, an arrow with a yellow border draws attention to the countdown and fits perfectly into the design of the rest of the watch. With the help of a printer, the corresponding hand is brought into the correct position. The subsidiary dial at six o'clock also shows the hours and minutes. The lower part also features a date display integrated into the dial of the Ulysse Nardin Marine Regatta. The attractive blue wristwatch was inspired by seafaring.
