ULYSSE NARDIN AND ONE MORE WAVE ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP

October 3, 2020

Introducing the Limited Edition Diver Deep Dive “One More Wave”

(September 25, 2019) San Diego, CA – Ulysse Nardin is thrilled to announce its partnership with the highly respected non-profit One More Wave and to introduce a limited edition Diver Deep Dive honoring the organization.

One More Wave’s objective is to help wounded or disabled veterans with surf therapy and to get them back in the water by providing customized surfing equipment and assistance. Their mission to help veterans through ocean therapy resonated strongly with Ulysse Nardin, which has long-standing ties to the sea.

“I had an unforgettable first-hand experience watching the veterans in the One More Wave program in action,” said François-Xavier Hotier, President of Ulysse Nardin Americas. Mr. Hotier had been introduced to One More Wave by a friend of his, subsequently meeting Kyle Buckett, Managing Director of One More Wave, while visiting the U.S Navy SEAL Training Camp in Coronado, CA. “Their dedication, courage, and camaraderie is inspiring and we hope to bring more awareness to this important work.”

Ulysse Nardin’s deep-rooted connection to the U.S. Navy stems from 1905, when Ulysse Nardin won a competition to create the most precise marine chronometer and subsequently became the official supplier to the American Navy.

In addition to a financial contribution, Ulysse Nardin hopes to bring awareness and raise funds for the organization through the launch of the Diver Deep Dive “One More Wave.” The timepiece features a striking yellow and black design, with a black DLC titanium case and 1000m water resistance. The case-back is engraved with the “One More Wave” logo to signify the partnership.  Members of OMW designed the limited edition timepiece as a watch that would stand up to the highly variable pressures experienced while surfing, while also subtly reflecting the founders’ background in amphibious warfare.

One More Wave was founded among the U.S. Navy SEALS community and is a certified non-profit 501(c)(3). They are based in San Diego and have been devoted to helping disabled veterans since 2015. One More Wave owns and operates their workshop making custom surfboards for wounded or disabled veterans that fit their needs and allows them to benefit from the unique therapeutic qualities of surfing.

“Surfing is actually one of the most effective therapies we’ve ever found for combating depression as well as post-traumatic stress,” says Kyle Buckett. “When veterans are in the ocean environment, they are completely in the moment and can escape from their injuries and traumas. It’s our job to put them out there with the right equipment and tie them in with the growing community of surfing veterans.”
