orologi u-boat 7750/50

Another Limited Edition U-Boat is going to hit the streets soon, featuring a limited production of 999 pieces and a 53mm Titanium Case. This one harks back to the classic Italian Navy style watches, and one can't help but compare it to the Panerai Egiziano in terms of looks.The crown device is interesting on this one, and I'm not quite sure how it works from the description, but as I understand it, the crown flips out and can be turned when it is released by the lever on the bottom.There is lever on the case at around 4 o'clock that when engaged, prevents the crown from turning, which is a pretty cool feature, especially if you're going to use it for diving. The watch is good to 300m. The watch features a caliber U-BOAT U-28 automatic movement, which I assume is probably based on a [EDIT]ETA 2824, though I can't be certain.Dial is available in black or beige, and caseback is a signed solid back with some cool inscriptions. I kind of hate to admit it, but I like this watch!

Limited Edition of 999 Pieces The case, in titanium grade 5, measures 53mm x 18mm (65mm with crown). The crystal is sapphire and it is water resistant to 300 meters. The bi-directional rotating bezel is lockable with a lever on the right side of the case. The U-42's winding crown was built in two parts: one is attached to the movement stem whilst the other is hinged to it with a pivot. This gives a flexible joint configuration which allows the crown to protrude considerably from the watch itself for winding and setting, yet returning it to a protected, hidden position diminishing the side clutter when in action. Movement is the automatic Swiss caliber U-BOAT U-28 with 25 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 40 hours. The dial is made with a slab in brass galvanized and finished with a bright enamel paste. Hands are German Silver. The leather strap measures 23mm with 23mm buckle.
