U-‐BOAT creations are always renowned for their tough appearance, exuding an impression of power, with unique identity and distinctive design. Their large and characteristic dial couples with the huge crown wheel on the left-hand side of the watch, winning the appreciation of men and women endowed with personality, contemporary style and adventurous spirit.
Today, Italo Fontana creative mind behind U-BOAT has created a new version for the Chimera model in 43 mm. All the versions of the Chimera in materials from bronze, to silver .925, to burnished steel, will be available also embellished by emeralds, rubies and white and black diamonds, not to mention an amazing new range of straps, great example of the fine Italian hand work with exclusive symbols in silver and precious stones crafted into the straps.
Furthermore, Italo decides to add a new innovation: a patented system for retrieval of the watch crown. Nestled between U-BOAT's iconic left hand crown and its crown guard is a sculpted pusher that can be depressed to eject the inner-crown from its recessed position. This enables ease of adjustment for both the date and time. Pushed one, the inner crown will pop out to enable the adjustment of the date, pushed twice, allows you to change the time.
