Orbiting this central Earth are dual elliptical tracks carrying depictions of the Sun and Moon, illustrating their real-time positions alongside a high-precision moonphase indicator that requires adjustment only once every 40.3 years. Beyond celestial positioning, the dial integrates a 2zone worldtimer, lunar month date tracking, and real-time tidal coefficient indicators driven by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEncased in a bold 45 mm frame forged from black DLC-treated titanium and ceramic or 18k rose gold, the watch is driven by the manufacture automatic Caliber UN-106. Constructed with 335 components, a silicon escapement, and a silicon hairspring, the movement features a patented time-setting system operated via dual pushers at eight and ten o&#8217;clock, allowing wearers to adjust local time in one-hour increments without disrupting the underlying astronomical calculations.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe cosmos, captured and commanded in high-tech titanium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ulysse Nardin reimagines astronomical watchmaking through the sharp, geometric lens of its Blast platform with the Blast [Moonstruck].&#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":570092,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,60,80],"class_list":["post-570091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=570091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/570092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=570091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=570091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=570091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
