Limited Edition U-Boat Capsule Automatic Black PVD Black Dial Black Leather Strap Date Mens Watch 8808
LIMITED EDITION OF 200 PIECES!
U-Boat Capsule Limited Edition Automatic Black PVD Black Dial Black Leather Strap Date Mens Watch Model# 8808
First introduced in 2015 at Baselworld, U-Boat releases a new range of Capsule watches which are still inspired by 1930's bathyspheres mixed with steampunk aesthetics. This "blackout" U-Boat Capsule is a limited edition of only 200 pieces and features a substantial 45 mm black PVD case that holds a deep black metal dial with three superimposed layers and a visible opening on leverage under a scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal, sealed to the case via an independent external bezel fastened with 5 external screws. This allows for a long side window running around the watch circumference which gives a glimpse of the dial from another perspective much like seeing Jules Verne's imaginary underwater worlds from a bathysphere's porthole. It has black and luminescent baton hands, indices, and Arabic numerals with steel brushed frames at the 4, 8, and 12 o'clock positions as hour markers, all treated with blue Super-LumiNova. This "Destro" (right-handed) sports watch is also equipped with a lefty crown, highly distinctive with its "canteen watch" inspired crown protective cap and lever with patented crown extraction system at the 10 o'clock position, and a date aperture at the 9 o'clock position. It is fitted with a black leather strap and secured by a matching black PVD-coated steel signed buckle. This watch also features a solid caseback that is sealed shut by 4 external screws, laser-engraved with a bathysphere submersible detail with a screwed-in limited edition number plate, which contains the Sellita caliber SW 200, a Swiss automatic movement personalized to U-Boat specifications beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour generating up to 41 hours of power reserve and is water-resistant up to 100 meters/330 feet.
Like all of our watches, this U-Boat Capsule Limited Edition Automatic Black PVD Black Dial Black Leather Strap Date Mens Watch is brand new and comes in its original packaging.
