San Marco Dual Time GMT (223.22)

The Ulysse Nardin San Marco Dual Time 223.22 stands out because it shows two time zones at once, has a clear, classic dial, a reliable automatic movement, and a sturdy stainless steel build, making it useful and stylish for travel and daily wear.

The dial of the San Marco Dual Time 223-22 is clean and easy to read, often seen in colors like white, champagne, or mother-of-pearl that give it a refined look. The watch displays a second time zone (GMT) and a date, all laid out without crowding the face. It wears a 37 mm stainless steel case that feels solid but not too large on the wrist, and the sapphire crystal keeps the dial protected and clear under light. The case has a smooth polished finish that pairs nicely with either a steel bracelet or a leather strap, depending on your style and comfort. Water resistance is around 100 m, so it’s fine for rain or splashes.

Under the case, the watch runs on an automatic movement, the UN-22, which winds itself as you wear it. This movement powers the main time, the date, and the dual time (GMT) function that lets you keep track of a second time zone — a handy feature if you travel or talk with people in other countries. The movement also offers around 42 hours of power reserve, so it continues running even if you don’t wear it for a day or two. While not the newest in Ulysse Nardin’s lineup, this movement is reliable and designed to serve the watch’s functions smoothly.

The San Marco line has roots in Ulysse Nardin’s history of producing nautical-inspired watches that blend practical complications with classic style. In the 1990s, Ulysse Nardin used the San Marco name for elegant dual time models that echoed the brand’s maritime heritage and the famous Piazza San Marco in Venice, which celebrates trade and travel — fitting themes for a dual time watch. Over time, Dual Time watches have become a notable part of Ulysse Nardin’s range, bridging everyday utility with traditional Swiss craftsmanship
