U-BOATDUAL TIME 1938 DOPPIOTEMPO Special Edition - 2019

 A SPECIAL EDITION 
THAT INSPIRES ARMED FORCES AND SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS

Italo Fontana, creative mind of U-BOAT, has always produced watches in limited or special editions commissioned also by Italian and international special forces, as recently those designed for the GIS (Special Intervention Group) of  Carabinieri.

Continuing on this tradition, the new exclusive 1938 Doppiotempo  derives directly from the model created for the historic 9th parachutist assault regiment "Col Moschin".

1938 Doppiotempo  finds its uniqueness thanks to the link with the commemorative watch "Centouno", strongly requested and launched on the occasion of the 101 years of their anniversary.

This is confirmed by this special unit, which has returned to choosing U-BOAT for its unconventional technical and design features that make it perfect for the most extreme missions and on liberty.
