U-Boat Watches

The idea for the famous U-Boat watch was first introduced in 1942 when the Officine Fontana watch making laboratory was asked to produce a professional watch for the officers of its navy’s U-Boats. The watches were actually never manufactured but the original sketches, colour samples and choices of materials suggested in the proposed production were well preserved and kept for over 60 years. It wasn’t until in the year 2000 when Italo Fontana, a cousin of one of the Offine Fontana founders decided to proceed with the original idea and finally launched the collection of U-Boat watches. What is immediately striking about U-Boat watches from an aesthetic perspective is that they are bold, oversized and can be described as aggressive in style and not geared towards those who like their watches understated! The watches are designed to reflect a unique character and personality in addition to confidence and charisma. U-Boat watches are heavily inspired by 18th century watch making and thus each and every design is intricately detailed with a rare quality in both the styling and innovative and exceptionally carefully selected materials used. All U-Boat watches have the common feature of the crown being positioned on the left side of the case which is highly unusual in watches but actually tends to be more comfortable and is what defines U-Boat watches from other brands. All U-Boat watches are also made using mechanical Swiss ETA movements and renowned for their reliability and high quality with each watch featuring oversized and incredibly durable steel cases The U-Boat collections incorporate materials such as precious metals, rubber, steel and crystals and are manufactured in an extremely unique way often merging a range of these materials to create a truly special watch that conveys strength, quality and intense character. U-Boat watches are highly regarded in the elite watch industry and their superior quality, strong aesthetic appeal and original designs have firmly put this brand in the limelight and have therefore earned much respect and a sought after status from both watch lovers and watch making enthusiasts all around the world.
