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 don't go unnoticed, with a design language directly referencing marine instruments. This version features a round 47mm silver stainless steel case with a black dial. Power is provided by a Sellita automatic movement (calibre SW200-1), offering a 41-hour power reserve and 26 jewel bearings.
A mechanical movement doesn't require a battery but does need attention: wear it regularly and it will keep itself running. Practically speaking, it offers a date display. Protection is not lacking: sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown, and water resistance up to 10 bar. The finish consists of a 23mm leather strap with a buckle.
