The U-Boat Legend:

U-Boats were submersible warships usually armed with torpedoes, or the predecessors to modern submarine. It was a common thing in 1942 and the demand for a professional watch for distinguished Navy officers led to a failed project. But drawings, designs and prototypes survived the scrap and stayed preserved over half a century, till Italo Fontana, successor to the company’s founder, gave form to the concepts through the U-Boat brand in the year 2000.

Today, U-Boat watches stand as a personification of character and strength, though the hallmark of the U-Boat brand is held on the crown mounted on the left side of the watchcase. An unique design that enhances wearing-comfort unexpectedly, it also the brand’s statement of showing class in power.

The Contemporary U-Boat Legacy:

Mechanical Swiss ETA (automatic or manual) movements aside, the full-bodied, bold, aggressive and oversized steel cases also define the U-Boat brand right at the first glance. A closer look reveals the PVD treated crystals with precious metal details merging beautifully with rubber and steel – an example of rare craftsmanship chiseled to higher dimensions of watch making. A must for anyone admiring tradition-based strength and a singular personality.

For who are the U-Boat replica?

For everyone who believe in reincarnations. An early ‘40s design brought back from the grave after half-a-century is now once more alive and kicking and has become more expensive than before. Admirers of chunky stuff, making a bold fashion statement is now possible with U-Boat replica watches, which sport the unique designs, materials and an overall craftsmanship that’s as good as the originals.
