Ming 17.03 GMT - Ultra Blue Limited Edition (Technical Specifications and Price)
The Ming 17.03 Ultra Blue is a limited edition of 25 pieces celebrating their first anniversary. This edition is now sold out and will not be produced again.
The Ultra Blue features a titanium case individually heat blued in house by Ming Thein. Each case is unique due to the nature of the process; they show hints of purple, cyan and dark blue and continuously change character when handled. The crown is engraved by hand. Ming fitted a new sunburst metallic blue dial, together with an updated sapphire ring and new satin beadblasted hands filled with Super-LumiNova. Finally, the watch is completed with a handmade dark blue alcantara strap by Jean Rousseau Paris, and matching heat-blued titanium pin buckle.
Like its siblings in the 17.03 line, the Ultra Blue is powered by the automatic Sellita SW330-1 with independently adjustable second time zone indicator, is adjusted in five positions and run through a 250-hour test program.
The Ultra Blue case retains the same unique lugs that allow for both curved and straight springbar fitting - making it a versatile watch and compatible with standard 20mm aftermarket straps.
