Title: Does Anyone Know About Ulysse Nardin Certified Seal?
Post by: Cocas on July 15, 2020, 09:11:58 PM

I got an offer for a very good and mint condition Marine Chronometer. Looked at its transparent case back and found the "Geneva Seal".

Almost pulled the trigger but luckily read carefully again and it's not Geneva Seal but UN seal.

Just curious, is this UN seal worthy? What independent quality checking processes UN has as compared against Geneva Seal?

Thanks.

So far this is what I can find from the internet:

Seems slightly more stringent than COSC.

Maybe all the big names think they can build to more stringent requirements so can have higher than Geneva standards?
