Italian luxury watchmaker U-BOAT is making a splash once again with its latest creation, the Capsule collection. First unveiled at Baselworld in 2015, this distinctive series takes inspiration from the bathyspheres of early underwater exploration, making waves both figuratively and literally in the horology world.
The Capsule collection, identified by the model name Capsule and reference number 880x, features a bold 50mm and 45mm diameter case, showcasing U-BOAT’s commitment to distinctive design. With a water resistance of 100 meters, this timepiece is not just aesthetically captivating but also functionally robust.
Crafted in titanium, the Capsule exudes a rugged yet refined appeal reminiscent of primitive submarines. The design pays homage to the depth gauges of the 1930s, seamlessly incorporating their distinctive features into the layered dial of the watch. Italo Fontana, the visionary founder of U-BOAT, has successfully amalgamated historical inspiration with contemporary craftsmanship in the creation of this timepiece.
Powered by the reliable SW200 caliber, the U-BOAT Capsule ensures precision in timekeeping, while its 41-hour power reserve guarantees longevity between windings. The watch is not just a timekeeping instrument; it’s a bold statement piece that caters to those with a penchant for the extraordinary.
As a testament to U-BOAT’s commitment to quality and innovation, the Capsule collection comes with a starting price of €4,800. With its distinctive design, robust features, and masculine appeal, the U-BOAT Capsule is poised to make a lasting impression on watch enthusiasts seeking a timepiece that transcends conventional boundaries.
