A bridge between the past and the future, a numbered edition watch that plays with modernity and the stylistic elements of the past. A highly individual creation, a testament to craftsmanship and "handmade," since each piece will always be different from the others.

Characterized by a bronze PVD steel case, Unico has received a special manual treatment with various overlapped acids, in order to create an oxidized and antiqued effect that also involved the dial under the high-quality anti-reflective domed sapphire glass.

The case is then completely filled with an oil bath, according to the innovative Oil Immersion concept, combined with the compensating bubble and the also domed dial, with black numbers and indices, amplifying the three-dimensional visual effect on the latter and the imperfections, always different, given by oxidation and which make each watch "one of a kind."

On the back of the case, the innovative locking system (Locking Ring System) allows for the rapid replacement of the battery of the Swiss movement Ronda 712.3, lubricated in an oil bath, and a QR code that allows the user to access an exclusive digital experience in the U-BOAT universe.

Iconic design with clean lines, Classico Chrono 45mm, is presented in 2024 in three dial color variations, each expressing a unique style and distinctive personality without compromising the recognizable elegance that has always characterized it.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Three models (ref 9568, 9567, 9581) with a 45mm 316L steel case under the anti-reflective sapphire glass, surrounded by a polished tungsten bezel — one of the world's hardest metals — stand out for the unique three-level dial design in beige, green, and black colors.

Next to the date window, four counters for the chronograph function—seconds, minutes, and 24 hours, two of which are practically overlapping at 6 and 7 o'clock—play with contrasting colors in some models, complemented by others in the same hue as the dial.

In detail, the first model (ref 9568), CLASSICO 45 TUNGSTENO CAS2, chosen by Hollywood actor and singer Jeremy Renner as the "co-star" in the music video for his first single "Wait" from his new album Love and Titanium, released on January 1, 2024; features a beige metal dial with indices and numbers treated with black superluminova, in contrast with three round counters in black.

U-BOAT presents a version of the acclaimed Darkmoon model, in 44.80 mm steel, with a grey and black shaded dial, hands and numbers treated with white luminova.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Modern and a classic of timeless elegance, grey is a nuance that could not be missing in the Darkmoon watch collection of the Tuscan Maison. Hence the creation of the new DARKMOON 44MM GREY SS, a watch that boasts, under the domed sapphire crystal, a shaded grey painted dial, emphasised by the iconic three-dimensional vision given by the "Oil Immersion" concept.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 The 44.80 mm AISI 316L steel case is in fact filled with a special oil, which combined with the floating compensation bubble for temperature variations, creates an amplified view of the dial, as in the absence of glass, combined with a harmonious contrast given by the black hands and indexes and by the white numbers, all treated with white luminova. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The precision of the Swiss Ronda 712.3  quartz movement, lubricated in oil bath, allows the time-only function, while the case-back is characterised by the innovative locking system (Locking Ring System) with quick battery replacement.

U-BOAT – CLASSICO 40MM Vintage Collection 2022

U-BOAT, THE PASSION FOR “VINTAGE”
IN TWO NEW CLASSICO WATCHES

Identity and elegance, fundamental elements characterizing the Classico Vintage models. A clean style, inspired by retro lines reinterpreted in contemporary key, all enclosed in 40 mm.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Two different watches but with a common denominator: on one hand Italo Fontana's passion for vintage culture, on the other his highly recognizable design concept molded into one of his iconic models with the purest, most essential and characteristic lines, the Classico.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Elegance and refinement as well as a hint of retro inspiration is the dominant lait motif that characterises these two creations, with an automatic mechanical movement and a 40 mm AISI 316L steel case.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The two watches, with the inevitable crown placed on the left side and its crown-cover secured to the case through the iconic safety hook, although they differ in some stylistic details, both boast a large curved window on the dial at 6 o'clock for the Day-Date function, framed by a fine line, which highlights the date at the top and the day of the week written in full at the bottom.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The CLASSICO 40 VINTAGE model boasts, under the highest quality sapphire crystal, a dark gray metal dial with a soleis finish that creates a satin effect, finely surrounded by a smooth and polished outer bezel.

Clean and free from any disturbing element to the time, date and day of the week views, the watch has only double bayonet markers placed at 12/4/8 as well as light metal spheres with beige superluminova.

The CLASSICO 40 VINTAGE BEZEL / SCREWS model, on the other hand, features a bezel with an "industrial" motif with screws, a matte black dial with applied beige indexes and numbers and also with spheres, again in light metal with beige superluminova.
