HISTORY OF THE COMPANY.
LUCCA 1942
A prestigious commission from the Italian Navy in 1942, for the design and production of wristwatches for its pilots that could satisfy very precise technical specifications. The first drawings of a robust wristwatch with a strong character, made by Ilvo Fontana, that could guarantee maximum visibility and water tightness, with a strong and distinctive design.
In 2000, Italo Fontana, Ilvo’s grandson, discovers the precious designs. They will become his source of inspiration for the creation of the first UBOAT watch and his motto: A New Dimension in Time. The U-BOAT journey has started.
In few years U-BOAT opens a number of single-brand boutiques and multiple shops all over the world. U-BOAT is currently present in over 60 key markets.
Awesome watch SEAN!! I really love the design and the visible works on the backside. Pretty nice timepiece!!
very interesting this post
Umm must be for a left handed person? Crown is on the wrong side...
dav2no1 , it’s supposed to be like that , a military watch .
This is what I found..
"In the case of the U-Boat watch, the manufacturer’s Web page says it was originally commissioned by the Italian military but was not made until way after the war."
And from what I read earlier because I was curious... it sounds like the crown is on the left for comfort since it's a big watch, if it was on the right it would dig into your wrist..
your right dav2no1 , i agree with you :)
