U-Boat , the Italian watchmaker founded in 2000, presents three new interpretations of the famous Chimera collection, renewing the design without sacrificing the bold imprint that has made it an icon.
The new time-only models boast a multi-level horizontally striped dial , available in three elegant color variations: black, green, or blue. Enhancing the aesthetic is a polished bezel made of tungsten , an extremely scratch-resistant material, which lends a touch of modernity and robustness.
The 46 mm case retains the proportions and lines of the first Chimera, launched in 2009, with the signature five-screw fastening system that joins the bezel to the caseback, ensuring water resistance to 100 meters. The unmistakable oversized crown guard , a signature of designer Italo Fontana, stands out on the left side.
The ETA 2824 automatic movement, customized with a brass and tungsten rotor, circular graining, and rhodium plating, ensures precision and reliability. The hour and minute hands are made of brushed and painted laser-cut metal, while the seconds hand and 24-hour indicator complete the ensemble with the same artisanal care.
The distressed leather strap, paired with a steel buckle, adds a vintage touch that perfectly complements the contemporary spirit of the timepiece. Each color variant is produced in a limited edition of 300 pieces , intended for enthusiasts seeking a watch with a unique character.
