U-Boat Watches

From the creative vision of renowned Italian watch designer Italo Infantino, U-Boat Watches are celebrated for their bold aesthetics, pushing the boundaries of design. Crafted with Swiss movements, these exceptional timepieces are produced in the picturesque region of Tuscany, Italy.

Why choose U-Boat

  1. U-Boat’s famed designer Italo Infantino, takes his radical design inspirations from both history and new-wave horology. Though outlandish at times in looks, each piece is meticulously engineered to be practical too.
  2. Tuscan Italian fashion may be a focus on design, but what lies within a U-Boat is a movement produced in Switzerland. A timepiece movement created in Switzerland, the ‘home of watches’ is is an assured choice for anyone seeking a luxury watch.
  3. U-Boat’s love of materials is seen throughout the range, arguably, no other watch brand has such a diverse use of metals and textiles. With options of titanium, tungsten, bronze and steel with a myriad of finishes, there is a choice to delight any watch enthusiast.
  4. The quartz battery-operated collections from U-Boat are entirely filled with a unique oil that highlights the dial, creating the illusion of no glass and enhancing legibility. Additionally, a visible air bubble on the dial helps to accommodate temperature fluctuations.

In 1942, the Italian Navy commissioned wristwatches designed by Ilvo Fontana for pilots, emphasising visibility, water resistance, and a distinctive design. In 2000, Ilvo's grandson, Italo Fontana, found these designs, inspiring the creation of the first U-BOAT watch and his motto, "A New Dimension in Time," marking the beginning of the U-BOAT journey.

A celebration of Italian culture and creative ingenuity, U-Boat continues to pioneer the watch industry thanks to their introduction of ‘oil-filled bath’ quartz watches, whilst their automatic range remains distinctive with large in stature constructs and unique formations.

Italo Fontana’s designs have garnered admiration from celebrities worldwide. U-BOAT products frequently appear in films, short movies, and music videos. For instance, they featured in Tokarev, starring Nicolas Cage, and Expendables 3, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
