U-Boat Watches

 

U-Boat watches are made with precision, each one assembled by hand in Lucca, Tuscany Italy. The U-boat watches are made with Swiss movements and are highly durable and very reliable.

 

Like all luxury brands, U-boat has a unique story. Italo Fontana, the grandson of Ilvo Fontana, came across his grandfather’s watch designs in 2000. Ilvo Fontana was commissioned in 1942 to make high precision watches for Italian Navy pilots which would be easy to read and perform under extreme circumstances, but the project never came to fruition. Italo Fontana took the designs and created the U-boat watch, which today is known for tailor made watches with the finest Italian craftsmanship.

 

Italo has experimented with many different kinds of materials for the watches, like bronze, titanium and carbon fiber. Italo, a native of Tuscany, takes his inspiration from the atmosphere and sights around him, and uses his creativity to A unique design of the U-boat is the crown which is on the left side on all the watches.

 

U-boat watches feature big bold displays, and are made to withstand extreme conditions. Confidently see the time in one glance, with no need to get sidetracked by other features. Wearing a U-boat watch will make you feel powerful and self assured.
