Over U-Boat
U-Boat was founded in 2000 by Italian designer Italo Fontana, inspired by his grandfather Ilvo's 1942 sketches, who was once commissioned to design watches for the Italian Navy. Each U-Boat watch is handcrafted in Tuscany, is immediately recognizable by its striking crown on the left side of the case, and combines Italian craftsmanship with Swiss precision movements. A watch for those who dare to stand out
Since 2000, U-Boat has been building watches that cannot be ignored, with a design language that directly harks back to marine instruments. This version features a round 45mm grey stainless steel case with a blue dial. Power comes from an automatic Sellita movement (calibre SW500), providing a 41-hour power reserve and 26 jewels.
A mechanical movement doesn't require a battery but does require attention: wear it regularly and it will keep itself going. Additionally, there is a chronograph. Sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown, and water resistance up to 10 bar make it resistant to daily use. The watch is worn on a 22mm leather strap with a buckle. The case height remains within limits at 18mm.
