cheap U-Boat Watches: large luxury watches from Italy
When the Italian designer Italo Fontana discovered his grandfather's old clock design in 2000, he might think he was a successful treasure hunter: in 1942, the engineer Ilvo Fontana was commissioned to design and manufacture clocks for Italian navy and air force officers. The timepiece should be easy to read in all light and weather conditions, while being as indestructible as possible. The project was never implemented, but its plan has been waiting to be discovered in the Italian city of Lucca (Tuscany). When Italo Fontana stumbled upon the sketches in his grandfather's file, he was immediately fascinated: when he thought of a large military watch, he would never let him go. For this reason, the charismatic designer soon created the brand U-Boat with the motto "New Dimension of Time".
U-Boat watches: the story
Italo Fontana was born in Lucca in 1965, and U-Boat is still based there today. He has been passionate about design since he was a child because his family is active in the textile industry. In addition, the Italian designer has always loved the ocean, and he has encountered the elemental power of the ocean in many water sports. U-Boat's unique watch model seems to be the logical conclusion of Italo Fontana's love of design and enthusiasm for raw natural forces.Replica Grand Seiko
The company he founded quickly gained fame in the luxury watch industry and continued to play a pioneering role in innovative ideas and unusual designs.
Which actions are ticking in the U-Boat clock?
The first U-Boat watches were mainly equipped with Myota quartz movements, and their eye-catching design was impressive. At the same time, U-Boat timepieces also inspired true connoisseurs among watch lovers, because in the wave of success, Italo Fontana decided to improve its watches with luxurious interiors. The mechanical movements of the Swiss manufacturer ETA SA have now become the core of many U-Boat watches, which are also supplied to well-known manufacturers such as Breitling, Omega and TAG Heuer. All series are handmade in Italy by master watchmakers, with a sense of technology and attention to detail.
Technology and Vision: Level 1
U-Boat timepieces meet the highest technical standards and are visually impressive due to their spectacular size. Today, watch manufacturers have seven different series: Capsoil, Dark Moon, Sommerso, Chimera, Classico, Dual Time and Lady. U-Boat watch's super elasticity and its innovative design distinguish U-Boat watch from other luxury manufacturers' replica watches for sale. Famous fans like Victoria and David Beckham or Sylvester Stallone also believe this.
U-Boat watches with a diameter of up to 55 mm are very large, which requires another special feature: the crown is installed on the left side of all models. Despite its large size, U-Boat watches are in a leading position in terms of wearing comfort. The design of the huge timepiece is quite restrained, so the color and shape on the dial play a decisive role. U-Boat watches embody the unique personality of Italo Fontana. They are especially suitable for wearers who want to show strength and style at the same time through the watch. On watch.de, you will find some unusual models in the U-Boat series, and we would like to introduce you to these models here.
Chimera Submarine
The most popular collection of this Italian watchmaker is U-Boat Chimera. The watches in this series are impressive with their power, masculinity and personality. The extra-large crown with special protection and buttons is a characteristic of U-Boat Chimera. The clear design expresses Italo Fontana's passion for a certain vintage feature in cheap men watches. The bezel and the case are firmly connected to each other to achieve the best waterproof effect. The recently launched Chimera 60, limited to 10 models, shows an extreme trend:
Another good example of U-Boat Chimera is the Ref. 8528, which is made of stainless steel with an embossed black leather strap. Stainless steel hands and white and green details stand out on the dial, while the numbers are deliberately omitted. The chronograph has a diameter of 46 mm.
U-Boat Classico
With its sturdy, militaristic design and large dial, the Classico series embodies the essence of the legendary style of U-Boat. It is designed for men and women with strong personalities. The result is an elegant and enduring watch that is highly recognizable. The Swiss automatic movement is designed to meet the requirements of Italian U-Boat watches.
U-Boat Classico U-47 is currently very popular because it is made of bronze. Bronze is an attractive alternative to watch cases made of steel or precious metals. The special thing about this material is that it will change over time and form a unique patina. By the way, Gerald Genta, the creator of outstanding watches such as Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus, used bronze for the case for the first time.cheap Richard mille RM 032
U-Boat Capsoil
The Capsoil series is a real innovation of U-Boat: the entire stainless steel case is surrounded by oil, which can be seen through a small bubble that moves behind the round watch glass and emphasizes personal details such as numbers or pointers. In fact, the purpose of the airbag is to compensate for temperature differences. The following video provides a touching impression of this innovative timepiece:
A special variant is the Capsoil with a green dial and a diameter of 44 mm, the core of which is the Ronda quartz movement. This model is in line with both the trend of green dial watches (read more: green dial watches) and the trend of larger watches:
U-Boat diving watch
Initially, Italo Fontana clocks were mainly regarded as design objects, but now U-Boat also has professional timepieces that can withstand the needs of water sports. The Sommerso series is designed for professional divers. The design follows a clear technical route. The watch has a rotating bezel to best control the elapsed dive time. Sommerso has a size of 46 mm and can also be optimally read and operated underwater.
With the simple dial, the designers clearly focused on the necessities and did not add anything extra except for the quickly adjustable date display. The bright blue numbers, hour markers and hands are visually appealing. Like the models already shown, the crown is located on the left side and is equipped with a screw-on protector.
U-Boat watches have extremely strong elasticity and an absolutely unique design. They have a clear, masculine appearance, which is undoubtedly a matter of taste.Replica Urwerk UR-110 Bakelite
