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
U-Boat was founded in 2000 by Italo Fontana, who built upon designs his grandfather drew for the Italian Navy in the 1940s. This translates here into a 44mm round silver stainless steel case, set against a blue dial. Power is provided by a Sellita automatic movement (calibre SW200-1), offering a 41-hour power reserve and 26 jewels.
As a mechanical watch, it operates entirely on wrist movement, without a battery. Protection is not lacking: mineral glass and water resistance up to 5 bar. The watch is worn on a 22mm silicone strap with a buckle. The case height remains within limits at 18mm.
