U-Boat Capsoil Darkmoon 40 Quartz Watch with Green Dial.
The Capsoil line floods the case with a lubricating oil and reads the Darkmoon dial through it, under a bubble that takes up the change in volume as the temperature moves. This one holds the line at 40 mm in bare steel, on a sunray dial read through the oil. The case measures 40 mm in stainless steel 316L.
The Ronda 712.3 quartz calibre drives it.
The brushing on the green dial runs outwards from the centre, so a band of light travels across it as the wrist turns. It is worn on black silicone.
It fills the space between the dial and the crystal. Light travels through the oil at close to the same speed as through the crystal, so the reflection drops away and the hands read as if they sat on the surface. An air bubble takes up the change in volume as the temperature moves.
The house rates the fill for service between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius when the watch is off the wrist. Outside that band the oil changes viscosity and the compensation bubble grows, and the dial clouds until the watch comes back into range, at which point it reads clear again.
From a drawing Ilvo Fontana made in 1942 for the Italian naval military forces, a diving watch that stayed on paper. His grandson Italo Fontana revived it in Lucca and built the house around its proportions and around the crown set on the left side of the case.
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.
Ronda, in Switzerland. It supplies calibres to a long list of houses under their own names, which is how a watch assembled in Tuscany carries Swiss movement engineering inside an Italian case.
