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, the Italian brand from Lucca, owes its signature to military instruments: generous cases, a hefty crown, and an uncompromising character. The U-Boat Capsule SS BK BE combines these elements in a round, silver-coloured 45 mm stainless steel case with a black dial. It is powered by an automatic Sellita movement (calibre SW200-1), providing a 41-hour power reserve and 26 jewels.
The automatic movement is wound by the motion of the wrist and therefore does not require a battery. It also features a date display. Sapphire crystal, a screwed crown, and water resistance up to 10 bar make it resistant to daily use. The watch is worn on a 21 mm leather strap with a buckle.
