Overview

U-Boat Classico Sommerso Automatic Watch in Bronze, 46 mm.

Bronze gives this Sommerso a character that develops with time. Natural oxidation creates an individual aged appearance across the 46 mm case, recalling early diving equipment. A brown leather strap carries that warmth through the design, while the left-side crown sits beneath U-Boat's patented protective device.

Under anti-reflective sapphire, the dial is built from three superimposed layers, with a black upper layer and beige luminous hands and markers. An additional 24-hour indicator is paired with a date display on the opposite side, bringing useful detail to the bold dial.

The unidirectional rotating bezel has markers at five-minute intervals and numerals every ten minutes from 10 to 50. An automatic movement powers the watch, whose screw-fastened case back and 30 atm water-resistance rating complete its diving specification. It is made in Italy.

Questions & Answers

Will the bronze keep the same appearance?

Its appearance changes as the bronze naturally oxidizes. The resulting patina gives the case an individual aged character.

What information appears beyond the main time display?

The dial includes a 24-hour indicator and a date display on the opposite side.

How is the bezel marked?

The bezel rotates in one direction and has markers every five minutes, with numerals at ten-minute intervals from 10 to 50.

Where is the crown positioned?

It sits on the left side of the case beneath U-Boat's patented protective device.

How is the dial constructed?

Three superimposed layers create its structure. The upper layer is black, with beige luminous hands and markers beneath an anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

U Boat Classic 46 mm

I recently purchased this item from Iguana Sell. During the pandemic I was very wary about purchasing items from a company abroad that I hadn't been aware of.
I placed my order and throughout the process I was made aware of where my item was and delivery times. Also with Brexit I thought there would be a significant delay. I'm so very happy that all my concerns were allayed and it went like clockwork.
Now about the watch. This is the first U Boat watch I have purchased outside the usual suspects eg: Panerai, Cartier, Rado etc.
WOW! What a watch!
It's not for the faint hearted at that size. You've gotta have the " Cohones " to style it out but boy! Is it worth it. I can't stop looking at the elegance and mechanics in this watch. So happy with U boat but more to the point, very happy with Iguana Sells.
Footnote: On You tube they show a different box for this U Boat but you can still buy that one but it's not the original boxing.
