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 built upon the designs his grandfather created for the Italian Navy in the 1940s. This model features a 46 mm round silver stainless steel case with a blue dial. It is powered by a Sellita automatic movement (calibre SW200-1), providing a 41-hour power reserve and 26 jewels.
A mechanical movement does not require a battery, but it does require attention: wear it regularly and it will keep itself going. It also features a date display. Protection is not lacking: sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown, and water resistance up to 10 bar. The watch is worn on a 22 mm leather strap with a buckle. The case height of 15 mm remains within reasonable limits.
