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 had drawn for the Italian Navy in the 1940s. The U-Boat Sommerso DLC continues this approach with a round 46 mm stainless steel case and a black dial. It is powered by a Sellita automatic movement (calibre SW200-1), providing a 41-hour power reserve and 26 jewels.
Its proven 30 bar water resistance makes the watch suitable for use where most models fall short. Practically, it offers a date display. Protection is not lacking: sapphire glass and a screwed crown. The finish consists of a 22 mm steel strap with a folding clasp. The case height remains within limits at 17 mm.
