Its carrousel strip movement rotates once per hour to indicate the minute display, and the hour markers on the lower layer will also rotate with the dial. The silicon parts used in the movement, such as silicon escapement, silicon hairspring, and large silicon balance wheel, are all made by Ulysse Nardin's own Sigatec company, using photolithography integrated molding technology, and large-area hollowed out silicon parts , Highly recognizable, it also greatly improves the ornamental value of Caruso's non-stop operation. 

This Ulysse Nardin self-produced UN-230 automatic movement also uses DIAMonSIL diamond silicon crystal technology escapement, by coating a layer of artificial diamond film on the surface of silicon parts, the hardness and smoothness of silicon parts have been improved, and also To solve the problem that silicon processing is easy to break, in the field of wristwatches, only Athens uses a silicon escapement with an artificial diamond membrane https://www.copywatchalike.is.
