Overview
U-Boat Capsule Automatic Watch with Black Dial.
Limited to 200 pieces worldwide. The Capsule line takes its shape from the bathyspheres of the 1930s, the sealed spheres that carried observers down, and seats the dial under a crystal thick enough to work as a lens. This one lets a round sapphire window into the side of the case, so the dial reads from the edge as well as from above. The case measures 45 mm in stainless steel and PVD.
The SW 200 winds itself from the motion of the wrist.
The dome over the black dial magnifies what sits under it, so the numerals grow as they approach the rim. The PVD coating carries the black across the bezel and the crown guard in one tone. At 45 mm it is the smaller of the 2 cases the line is built in. The Superluminova on the indices and the hands is blue. It is worn on black leather.

Questions & Answers
Why does the crown sit on the left?
It comes from a watch Ilvo Fontana drew in 1942 for the Italian naval forces, a diver whose crown sat on the left so the hands could be set from that side. His grandson Italo Fontana built the house in Lucca around that drawing, and the patented clamp over the crown is the part he added.
What is the coating on the case?
Physical vapour deposition. The coating metal is vaporised in a vacuum chamber and bonded to the steel as a hard layer, which holds up to daily abrasion far better than electroplating of the same thickness.
How does a 45 mm case sit on the wrist?
It is a large watch and the house builds it to read as one. Compare the figure against a watch you already own before you order, because the diameter is what decides this and it is the measurement a photograph flattens. A loose cuff will pass over it.
How is the edition numbered?
The run closes at 200 pieces and each case carries its own number. Once the run is delivered the reference is finished, which is what holds the value of a numbered series over a catalogue model.
How long does the Superluminova stay lit?
It is a phosphorescent pigment, so it charges from daylight or a lamp and gives its brightest reading in the first minutes. It fades over the hours after that and takes a fresh charge every time it meets light again.
