You don’t mistake a Freak for anything else. Its movement does not sit underneath the display. It becomes the display.

On the Freak X, the gear train takes over the role normally reserved for a pair of hands. The flying carousel completes one full rotation every hour to indicate the minutes, while the rotating lower disc tracks the hours. Framing the mechanism is a 43mm blue PVD-coated titanium case, with a matching blue mainplate providing a vivid backdrop for the oversized silicium balance wheel oscillating at its center. The automatic Caliber UN-230 brings the entire display to life, while a black perforated leather strap completes the watch.

This is a pre-owned Ulysse Nardin Freak X Ti Blue Watch 2303-270/03. It comes with papers and the manufacturer’s box.
