U-Boat Men's 5564 Classico Watch

Epitomizing contemporary minimalism, the U-Boat Men's Classico Watch boasts an oversized black dial and large white baton and Arabic hour markers and white hands. Contrasting these bold features is a small date window at the three o'clock position. Hidden behind this bold dial is this watch's mechanical Swiss automatic movement, a feature that means this watch will never need a battery as it's powered by the movement of your arm. An antireflective sapphire crystal protects the dial, and a brown calfskin band ensures this attractive timepiece remains stylishly fastened to your wrist. The strap closes with a deployment-buckle. Other features include a stainless steel case, an oversized crown, and water-resistance to 330 feet (100 meters).

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 with either automatic or manual Swiss ETA mechanical movements. 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 accled 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. See more ( javascript:void(0) )
