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
The Italian brand U-Boat from Lucca owes its signature style to military instruments: generous cases, a substantial crown, and an uncompromising character. This is translated here into a round 44mm stainless steel case, set against a black dial. Power is supplied by a Sellita automatic movement (calibre SW200-1), providing a power reserve of 41 hours 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 reasonable limits at 18mm.
