There is a function indicator set into the caseband, styled after the Chadburn telegraph used in the early days of steamship travel, to allow the bridge to communicate with the engine room in the Marine Mega Yach, it shows the position of the crown ("TM" for Tide and Moon "S" for setting the time and "W" for winding). The power reserve indicator is pretty clever – it's in the shape of a ship's anchor, which gradually drops as the mainspring unwinds – the crown-wheel mechanism that links the mainspring barrel's rotation to the anchor chain lives in the aperture at the 12:00 position. There is a tourbillon, with the cage in the shape of a propeller (of course) and there is a spherical moonphase, along with a tide indicator that shows periods of high and low tide, as well as whether or not the tides in question are spring tides or neap tides (the most and least extreme range of high and low tides, which depend on where the Moon is in its orbit around the Earth, although likely owners of the Mega Yacht watch will probably be more concerned with how many cases of champagne there are in the hold than in what the tide's doing). Technically speaking, this is a 44mm solid platinum watch, with a grand feu blue enamel dial that carries a semi-abstract representation of the bow of a yacht. as However, it would be too much to dismiss this as simply an exercise in extremely conspicuous consumption there is quite a lot going on technically, however much the watch overwhelms at first (and second, and third) glance with its over-the-top opulence – and as well, it represents a continuation of a decades-old philosophy with respect to the execution of complications at Ulysse Nardin. It is a power watch – aside from the sheer cost, its unabashed celebration of superfluous complexity leaves no doubt as to its raison d'être. The Marine Mega Yacht is an unapologetic paean to the pleasures of the life aquatic, but from the bridge of one of the multimillion dollar floating palaces populating the world's oceans, from the Casino in Monte Carlo, or from a private island somewhere off the Côte d'Azur for that matter. Today, Rolex is a partner to some of the most respected yacht clubs and institutions.They say honesty is the best policy, and Ulysse Nardin seems to have had the maxim in mind when they named this watch: behold the Marine Mega Yacht, coming soon to the wrist of your favorite high roller, yacht-owning plutocrat. According to Rolex, “This regatta chronograph allows yachtsmen to cross the line as soon as possible after the starting gun.” A countdown is also featured it can be programmed from 1 to 10 minutes, allowing skippers to time and follow each race’s official starting procedure. It was the first watch to ever be equipped with a unique complication that acted as a programmable countdown with a mechanical memory.
