U-BOAT presents three new models at Watches & Wonders
If the high quality cheap watches world is telling us that we need to reduce case sizes to a minimum of 39mm or even smaller, U-Boat has not received the notice. More likely, they have completely ignored the notice, as they have firmly established themselves as the king of giant watches.
Submarine Chimera
Their first 2024 watch is relatively modest in size, with a diameter of 46mm, available in both chronograph and stopwatch versions, and features a unique striped pattern on the dial. Called "Chimera Geometries," this new collection is three-dimensional in design. It features new spaces and grooves that allow the wearer to experience and perceive the passage of hours, minutes and seconds in a different perspective.
Of course, the dial is the heart of any U-Boat, as it usually takes up a considerable amount of space. On the Chimera, the wavy metal surface is composed of regular stripes that run horizontally across the entire two-layer dial, and comes in three different shades: black, green and blue. Surrounded by a polished tungsten bezel, these new chronograph and time dials feature only laser-cut numerals, indexes and counters. replica U-BOAT Chimera watches
The perforations on the upper level allow a glimpse of the lower surface, which is made of smoked sapphire, amplifying the three-dimensionality of the stripes. Under the sapphire crystal, the chronograph version features three tone-on-tone counters in different shades as well as an additional 24-hour counter; the latter defines the time-only version.
The smoked mineral glass window on the side of the case reveals the chronograph version of the Sellita SW500 and the time-only ETA 2824 Top Soignè, both custom-made to U-BOAT specifications and featuring a brass and tungsten rotor with pearlescent finishing and rhodium-plated screw bridges.
Somerso Damasco
U-Boat revisits the archetypal dive luxury cheap Watches, the Sommerso, and gives it a new look using 46 mm Damascus steel. Made using ancient methods, this incredible steel, more like a blade, covers the entire watch, from the case to the swivels and caseback. The play of Damascus lines and light on the watch is truly spectacular and very rare.
To make it a fully functional dive watch, the Sommerso features a left-side mounted crown and all the technical features you would expect to find on a U-boat professional dive watch, such as a sapphire crystal, a three-layer dial and vintage beige Super Luminova.
The dial also features a date window and a 24-hour counter with Super Luminova details, while inside is the precision and reliability of the Swiss Sellita SW200 movement. On the right side of the case, a screwed-down plate carries the serial number, while the large crown guard on the other side ensures water resistance to 300 meters. The replica watches on sale comes with a vulcanized rubber strap with the UN-Boat logo printed on it.
U-BOAT Unico Darkmoon
U-Boat’s last offering was small by their standards at just 44mm, but very charming. It’s a new watch that has been weathered and looks very old. The collection is called the Unico Darkmoon.
The Unico is a bridge between the past and the future, a limited edition watch that combines contemporary style with our philosophy. Each watch is a highly personalized handmade creation, and each piece is unique.
The Unico features a bronze PVD steel case that is specially treated with various acids to produce an oxidized and antiqued effect. The case is then completely filled with an oil bath, amplifying the three-dimensional visual effect of the replica mens watches. On the back of the case, a locking ring system allows the replacement of the battery in the Swiss Ronda 712.3, which is also lubricated with an oil bath. Due to its construction, the Unico is only water-resistant to 50 meters and comes with a cognac-colored strap and a vintage PVD bronze buckle.
U-Boat has once again won the watch world over with its designs, and has become more colorful because of it. Their case sizes are indeed getting smaller, which is a good thing, but thankfully, their imaginative approach to watchmaking has not diminished at all. U-Boat is definitely a controversial watch that you either love or hate, but looking at their current 2024 offerings, especially the stunning Damascus steel model, they are definitely still a force to be reckoned with, and this new collection adds a much-needed sense of refinement to the previously huge dive replica watches swiss.
