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 acid stained crown and the dual dials, one rendered in black the other in bronze will become an ever-changing subject of fascination. The same process strips away the uniformity of the titanium case and bezel, revealing a character otherwise hidden below the surface. Each of the limited 99 timepieces available worldwide will be as individual as your own finger print.
We love that with aged pieces like this you will daily discover nuances in the painted and etched hands that had yesterday escaped your notice. 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…
