U-Boat was created by larger than life Italo Fontana in 2001, when he was inspired by drawings his Grandfather, Italo, had at the bequest of the Italian Navy for a Frogmen’s wrist watch. Italo has bestowed a unique style into his brand, that now garners respect throughout the world with collectors including many film, sports and rock stars. Taking inspiration from his Grandfather’s groundbreaking design, Italo is constantly looking to improve his products, resulting in the latest Capsoil timepieces with an oil filled case, giving a unique domed dial aesthetic. U-boat watches are designed to be tough, (many of which have tungsten bezels), easy to use (with the patented crown release mechanism), and individual (many of them in low number production with case side plaques). Dare to be different with a U-Boat timepiece.
