U-Boat Darkmoon Bronze PVD Black Dial Black Rubber Strap Quartz Mens Watch Model# 9549
Directly inspired and aptly named after the moon's dark side, the Darkmoon collection follows the Capsoil collection's footsteps by utilizing its innovative "oil-immersed" dial concept. This fascinating vintage-themed watch features a 40 mm aged bronze PVD case that holds a new domed and painted deep black metal dial under a scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal. The dial is filled with a special oil and a visible air bubble that moves around, greatly amplifying its color and legibility which creates an illusion of a seemingly non-existent crystal. It has black and luminescent baton-style hands with indices, Arabic numerals at the 4 and 8 o'clock positions, and its signature "U" at the 12 o'clock position as hour markers, all treated with bronze-colored Super-LumiNova. This "Destro"(right-handed) timepiece is equipped with a screw-down crown on the left side. It's fitted with a black rubber strap secured by a matching bronze PVD-coated steel buckle which gives off an aged and patinated look. This watch also features a solid caseback with an innovative locking system and a quick battery replacement hatch wherein underneath lies the Ronda caliber 762, a Swiss quartz movement, lubricated with oil bath, and is water-resistant up to 50 meters/165 feet. When off the wrist, this watch should be kept at an optimal temperature between 0°C up to +60°C and away from direct sunlight or any heat source for too long.
Like all of our watches, this U-Boat Darkmoon Bronze PVD Black Dial Black Rubber Strap Quartz Mens Watch is brand new and comes in its original packaging.
A watch brand founded out of Italy's Tuscany region 23 years ago, U-Boat is a company based in a country "villa" within Gragnano's hills, a land of marvelous inspiration for founder, Italo Fontana. Known for its distinctive, bespoke designs and oversized cases, U-Boat watches stemmed from Italo's grandfathers' drawings of watch designs for the Italian Navy which back then, did not materialize. Italo personally designs every watch, leaving behind his imprint, name, and persona in flesh and blood. In a span of just a few years, U-Boat has successfully opened boutiques around the world and are now available in more than 60 key markets and with their online boutique as well.
