U boat italo fontana classico titanium limited edition

We will look at such examples as we detail the collections. The Chimera collection stands out with its iconic case design, large buttons, and unique crown cover. For instance, the case features five screws that bind the bezel, side, and rear case together. The large and intricately designed case bestows the watch with a masculine character. We discuss these categories in detail, for it is one of the most loved collections by watch aficionados. These models feature subdials, chronograph functions, and host automatic movements.

At 46mm and manufactured using different materials, the four models under this lineup remain limited editions. The Pearl lineup features two watches with a mother of pearl dial.

With each model limited to pieces, this watch is a true fashion statement. Both the models feature a date display and a 24hour indicator.

The stainless steel variant measures at 40mm and the bronze variant is slightly larger at 43mm. The Day-Date model boasts of being the first U-Boat watch to simultaneously showcase the day and date. The 46mm naturally aged bronze case features laser-cut indices on the black dial. The Bronze Chrono is smaller at 43mm. This model features a chronograph function along with the date display.

However, both watches also share similar features. For instance, the clear rear, and the patented crown opening system. In addition, both models offer only pieces as they are a limited series and are water-resistant up to m.

The case features a clear side window that showcases the movement inside. Like the Chimera, the Classico collection , too, features a number of lineups under it. These include the U, Bronze, Tungsten, and the Stratos. The Classic collection draws inspiration from the robust and basic styled military watches.

The U lineup features three watches. One with a 47mm bronze case and two in 47mm stainless steel. Apart from this, these watches are entirely the same. For better understanding, we have divided this lineup into four variants. The first variant being the Movelock with a 24hour indicator on the dial.

Available in two color options, you can also choose between a 45mm and 50mm case. The second variant is the AS2, which takes on a more simple approach with a clean dial. The third variant, the CAS 2, features an additional chronograph in the 45mm dial. Finally, the Moevlock chronograph features both the 24hour indicator and additional subdials. This variant is available in titanium as well.

However, all the watches remain powered by Swiss movements and feature a date display. In addition, every model is water-resistant up to m. Unlike other U-Boat models, the two Stratos watches feature a more flatter and elegant case. As a result, these watches are ideal for dresses and tuxedos. The Stratos 40 BK is as simple and clean as it gets. The U caliber movement is a slightly modified version of the infamous automatic-winding chronograph movement. The markings on the back of the case indicate that each watch is one of only of its kind to be manufactured.

While the white ceramic version of the Classico Titanium Chronograph offers contrasting color combinations, the other two models offer a decisively monochromatic style. Similarly colored materials, including carbon fiber, create a stealthy style that is reminiscent of the interior of a powerful race car. Contrast is provided by the relief of the applied hour markers and hands as well as the alternating finishes of the matte metal and glossy carbon fiber. The rubber band completes the all-black look and makes it possible to take the Classico Titanium Chronograph into water.

Here the Classico Titanium Chronograps find themselves very comfortable thanks to a water resistance rating of meters. Titanium bands are resistant to corrosion, so these U-boat watches will look like new for seasons to come.

Yellow gold band watches are traditional and tasteful accessories that will never go out of style. Impressive in their simplicity, they have a traditional appearance for a perfect wardrobe essential. Purple band wristwatches are great for adding a pop of color to any look. With a unique band color, these U-boat watches are excellent for a one-of-a-kind timepiece. With traditional styles, gold-plated case wristwatches are versatile accessories for a night with friends.

The gold-plated designs are often tarnish-resistant, which will keep them in pristine condition for many seasons to come. Resin case watches are great for people with more sensitive skin. They have a lighter feel for comfortable wear throughout the year. The crown is situated on the left-hand side of this timepiece and protected by a screw-down cap. On the original watch, the crown, which could also be screwed down, doubles as a helium escape valve.

This replica includes neither of these features. The crown is used to wind the movement, set the time, and change the day of month. The dial of this watch is white in color. Hour markers are either silver or black. The top of three subdials feature a secondary second hand, and the bottom subdial displays the month.

A tiny window to the left displays the day of month. This timepiece, like the original U-Boat U , is equipped with a rubber strap which appears to be held to the case by screws.

I tried to turn one of these screws without success, so this touch should be considered decorative. I cannot identify the originating factory, but this manufacturer is probably located within Guangdong, China. The case is purposely dullish in emulation of one composed of titanium. I appreciate the large white dial and thick black markings that represent the hours. The subdials are white to avoid drawing undue attention.

For reasons, quite inexplicit, their pointers are painted the same color. The main hands are also partially coated in white paint but can be easily read. Those that are left-handed will appreciate the positioning of the crown and pushbuttons. The black rubber strap goes well with the metal case and white dial.

All subdials functioned correctly. I was especially impressed by the ability to advance the day of week pointer in half-day steps.
