When it comes to solid, masculine, statement making men’s watches U-BOAT never fail to produce. The limited edition U-BOAT U-42 VNICVM is absolutely no exception to that rule. It comes in a deliberately aged titanium case and its characteristic left hand crown is sculpted in solid bronze.

The leather strap is invested with the scars and patina of a life lived. Every facet of this watch has been subjected to harsh trial, but, as we’re sure your father told you, what doesn’t kill you…
