U-BOAT | 2011

U-BOAT by Italo Fontana releases their latest novelties for 2011.

This time Italo plays with material such as gold, ceramic and titanium and with different colors and sizes.

A new version of acclaimed novelty, U-51 Rattrapante, but only seen from outside. Italo plays with colors using small gold details over the colossal 51 mm in diameter black case, not to mention the impressive crown cap and pushers. From the inside he changes mechanisms turning the watch into a Chrono for a limited edition of only 99 items in perfect U-BOAT style.

 U-51 GOLD CROWN ARROW

U-1942 and the U-42 are with no doubt based on a watch developed by Italo Fontana’s grandfather for the Italian Navy. At BASELWORLD 2010 Italo unveiled the U-42 watch inspiring awe amongst U-BOAT watch enthusiasts. The limited edition U-42 was based in fact on the U-1942 but scaled down to a 53 mm. One year after, same place, Italo introduces the chrono version in same size 53 and in a bit smaller size 47 both in black dial and limited edition of 999 pieces.

  U-42 CHRONO 53 mm / U-42 CHRONO 47 mm

The 1001 designation is symbolic both for the 1001 limited run per color as well as each watch being water resistant to 1001 meters. Unveiled last year, this time the Classico U-1001 comes in two separate colorways: Blue and Orange and it is slightly reduced in size with a diameter of 47 mm. The U-BOAT U-1001 is a watch that pays tribute to Mr. Fontana’s passion for diving offering a bold, clear, technical design reminiscent of high tech instruments.

CLASSICO 1001

Italo pushes to the extreme a timeless design: Classico. Great example of design purity, this automatic winding chronograph in 300 units only with black dial, green or red hands impresses with its bold, aggressive character coming from the use of titanium and of course its total black look.

 CLASSICO TIT IPB

I personally like this one! Cant wait to go to their Resorts World store to try this on.

U-Boat Manila Launch | Photos

Luxury watch brand U-boat Launched their first store here in Manila.

The event was attended by the Man himself Italo Fontana together with Mounir Moufarrige.

About U-Boat Watches

Back in 1942 the "Officine Fontana" was poised to produce a professional watch for the distinguished officers of its navy’s U-Boats. Though the project was ultimately scrapped, the distinctive original drawings, color samples and innovative materials were lovingly preserved for more than 60 years. In 2000, Italo Fontana, a cousin of the watchmaker’s late founder, made a long held company dream come true with the launch of today’s inspired U-Boat brand.

U-Boat watches, just like their original namesake, are bold, aggressive and oversized. These timepieces embodied force and style and revealed the unique personality of the man behind the revival, Italo Fontana: “It took me seven years to develop and refine the U-BOAT watches. Inspired by 18th century craftsmanship and intricate made-by- hand detailing we can now produce a timepiece of rare artisanal quality that reaches to a new dimension of watch making .”

Character and strength is a hallmark of the U-Boat brand. All watches in the line are designed with the crown on the left side of the case. It is both a unique and unexpectedly comfortable timepiece to wear. This distinctive signature is the brand statement: Classic yet powerful

All items in the collection are made of mechanical Swiss ETA movements, whether automatic or manual; each are housed in full-bodied oversized steel cases. 

PVD treated crystals, and precious metals beautifully merge with rubber and steel details, challenging traditional design standards in the world of timepieces.

From the Thousand of Feet Collection with its particular dodecagonal shaped case, to the latest Nightvision Collection that allows you to replace the colored glass, each watch express a singular personality.

In 2005, Italo Fontana joined forces with Mounir Moufarrige, an acclaimed tastemaker known for breathing new life into Montblanc and Chloé. Together they are bringing U-Boat into the limelight of today’s watch industry. Found only at the most discriminating of international retailers, U-Boat watches are earning worldwide appreciation from connoisseurs of rare and beloved timepieces.

U-boat already has distribution at 220 selected stores around the globe and 30 doors in the US, priced on the average of $2,000, U-Boat is on a par with larger luxury watch making groups. - [U-BOAT]
