Born of a wartime naval design and reborn in Tuscany, U-BOAT crafts bold, commanding timepieces with unmistakable Italian character.
Founded by Italo Fontana.
His grandson Italo Fontana rediscovered those designs in 2000, inspiring the first watch and the brand motto, A New Dimension in Time.
Italo Fontana personally designs every model, and the large crown on the left side of the case is the defining signature of the house.
Each watch is made and assembled by craftsmen at the Lucca headquarters, proudly described as Made in Tuscany, with Swiss movements inside.
The Capsoil collection features cases entirely filled with oil, while uncoated bronze and untreated silver develop a unique patina over time.
A periscope breaks the surface and the left hand crown locks shut.
New stories from U-BOAT arrive here as we publish them, straight from the house.
Every timepiece is best discovered in person: on the wrist, in the hand, and in the company of those who made it.
Every house in this collection has its own world on Simply Luxury.
The U-BOAT name belongs to its owners. Stories on Simply Luxury are drawn from the house's own published content. Illustrations by Simply Luxury.
