When creative vision meets extreme engineering, extraordinary watches are born. With Profondo , Italo Fontana and U-BOAT redefine the boundaries of underwater watchmaking, presenting a model capable of withstanding unimaginable pressures: 10,000 meters deep, 1,000 atmospheres of resistance .
A timepiece that does more than measure time, but embodies the spirit of exploration, forged for those unafraid to push boundaries.
Impressive design and steampunk soul
The Profondo strikes at first glance with its 46 mm titanium case and a thickness of 27 mm , designed to ensure absolute robustness without sacrificing lightness. The 9.7 mm domed sapphire crystal , with anti-reflective treatment, not only protects but also amplifies the details of the dial, transforming it into a magnifying glass over the abyss.
The three-tiered dial is unique in every piece: the antique finish, achieved through manual oxidation, creates unique nuances reminiscent of sunken shipwrecks and Jules Verne-esque atmospheres. The hands and indexes, treated with beige Super-LumiNova, ensure perfect readability even in the deepest darkness.
Extreme technology for explorers without borders
The beating heart is a Sellita SW200 , an automatic caliber modified to U-BOAT specifications: 28,800 vibrations per hour, 26 jewels and a 41-hour power reserve. The automatic helium release valve , essential for protecting the movement during professional dives, is located on the right side of the case, while the unidirectional rotating titanium bezel guarantees impeccable functionality.
The titanium caseback with Locking Ring system and laser engravings completes the structure, sealing the watch against extreme pressures.
Details that make the difference
The handcrafted Tuscan leather strap celebrates traditional Italian craftsmanship, offering comfort and character. Alternatively, the set also includes a titanium bracelet for those who prefer a more technical style. Every detail, from the double-pronged buckle to the knurled bezel, is designed for real-world, reliable use in extreme conditions.
Limited edition of 100 copies
With only 100 numbered pieces available worldwide, the U-BOAT Profondo 10000MT Limited Edition is much more than a professional diver: it is a collector's item, a symbol of courage and freedom, ready to accompany its owner from the ocean depths to the surface.
