Calling all Experts - can you ID this watch
Was hoping you all could weigh in on a mysterious watch sighting.
Recently, I was at a UN event and a high ranking member of Indonesian royalty (a GREAT guy, BTW!) was wearing this watch. The photos aren’t very good quality, but I was trying not to be obvious. I’ve had opinions range from Breuget to Cartier, but I can’t find the exact model. Any thoughts? Could it be a custom piece? Thank you |

Ulysse Nardin comes to mind.

I was going to say UN but the strap doesn’t look right for a UN, so I’ll go with Corum…

Looks like something invicta would produce

Boy.... after a lot of searching I was kind of think the same thing! But, given who he is, it seems unlikely. The other thing that is interesting is the case to strap connection. I don't think I've ever seen a design like that. I assumed that if anyone would be able to identify it, it would be because of that feature. |

Looks like a Roger Dubuis to me.
EDIT: Looks like some variant of the Ulysse Nardin Marin Diver

Thank you all for helping get closer to solving this mystery!
You guys are good! I haven't identified the specific model reference, but I have to agree, it has definitely has numerous hallmarks of a Ulysse Nardin Maxi Diver Chrono; the shape of hand details and the subdial design and locations, in particular. The weird things that still have me guessing are the details of the bezel and the case flanges that extend out over the strap. I haven't found those same component features on any other U-N model. Anyone else see them or know of a model that has them....? |

Not sure it’s a UN, lots of characteristics but date at 4 and a chrono. .

Agreed. Given who he is. Likely not an Invicta. But that middle triangle lug just seems Invicta - esk. Could be custom. |
