    - Extremely cool with its black DLC coated stainless steel aesthetic, the timepiece features a matching black bi-directional bezel with neon yellow accents. A sharp touch of colour not at random, the yellow is actually a homage to Lemon Sharks known for their yellowish tint skin, a classified vulnerable species by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

    - Contemporary and functional, the model is sized at 42mm diameter which is perfectly legible underwater. The textured dial resembles the sandpaper like shark skin and is brighten up by the Superluminova indexes in “shark gray” in the dark.

    - Furthermore three torpedo-liked Lemon Sharks are engraved on the black caseback, making this diver’s watch even more charming.

    - Completely unworn and “brand-new”, the present timepiece is numbered 280 of 300 pieces from the collection. Protected by all its original factory stickers still throughout, the R strap paired with this timepiece is made from recycled fishing nets.

    - Regardless for the fans of Discovery Shark Week or enthusiasts of water sports, the Ulysse Nardin Lemon Shark is the perfect summer watch that has an extra meaningful story behind.
