Pushing boundaries without limits has always been the philosophy of Italo Fontana, designer and founder of U-BOAT, who signs a timepiece engineered to withstand extreme pressure: up to 1,000 atmospheres.
Capable of reaching depths of 10,000 meters, Profondo stands out for its bold, rugged design: a 46 mm matte titanium case with a thickness of 27 mm and a domed sapphire crystal measuring 9.7 mm thick, ensuring maximum water resistance in the harshest conditions.

A unidirectional rotating bezel – a must for any professional diver – is also made of titanium.
On the right side of the case at 3 o’clock, an automatic helium release valve protects the watch from pressure variations, while on the left, a screw-down crown protected by protruding guards allows for secure time adjustment.

The three-level metal dial, magnified by the curvature of the sapphire crystal, features a deliberately aged finish obtained through a manual oxidation process.

The result is different every time: each dial boasts unique textures and shades, making every Profondo truly one of a kind – as if salvaged from a sunken wreck. A direct homage to the world of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
