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!

Italo Fontana U-Boat’s Flightdeck CAS BE is a wonder in watch***. The thick stainless steel case is either 43 mm or 50 mm in diameter with a beige face, brown hands and Arabic numerals. The automatic self-winding chronograph rests firmly on your wrist with an alligator strap. The easy to read dial is accented by the less than usual placement of the stem and push buttons on the left side. And if you have to ask, yes, it is depth-rated to 1,000 feet. 78 Uniqueness There are many quartz-powered watches out there with the likeness of the U-Boat Flightdeck CAS BE, but none have the intricate and complex automatic movements of a chronograph. This is a lot of watch, so be prepared for its size out of the box; however, the beige face and brown alligator strap keep it from being either too massive or predictable.

But you might long for a slim stainless steel watch after lugging this one around town. One thing is certain: The U-Boat name has a unique position in the watch world. It is Italian and focused on the extreme flight and dive watch style and market. Even if the large watch face craze disappears, the allure of this watch will always be in style.
