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 continued the designs his grandfather drew for the Italian navy in the 1940s. The U-Boat Sommerso continues this approach with a round, 46mm silver stainless steel case and a black dial. Power is provided by a Sellita automatic movement (calibre SW200-1), offering a power reserve of 41 hours and 26 jewels.
As a mechanical watch, it runs entirely on wrist movement, without a battery. It also features a date display. Sapphire glass, a screwed-down crown, and water resistance up to 10 bar make it resistant to daily use. The watch is worn on a 22mm steel bracelet with a folding clasp. The case height remains within limits at 17mm.
