| In 1942, Ilfo “The Watchmaker” Fontana was commissioned by his country to produce a timepiece that would become the pride of the Italian naval officers. These designs and prototypes lay dormant for decades until Italo Fontana, Ilfo’s grandson, rediscovered them in 1999. U-BOAT watches are characterised by their strong identity, large size, perfect legibility in all light and weather conditions, along with their bold and distinctive design; the left crown protected by a specially designed safety cover. Every individual U-BOAT watch is handcrafted in Italy and each tiny detail is overseen by Italo Fontana. |
