U-Boat Watches

U-BOAT watches were originally designed with the Italian Navy in mind, therefore in buying a U-BOAT you know you are buying a large, sturdy watch with a bold design that is built to last. U-BOAT has changed the way in which we look at watches today with their brash, audacious aesthetic that is matched only by their dimensions.

As an authorised dealer of U-BOAT watches we guarantee that all our models are genuine whether they are bought on-line or in-store. U-BOAT watches are available to purchase immediately or to be paid off over a period of time using one of our finance options.

U-BOAT History

Original U-BOAT designer Ilvo Fontana was commissioned by the Italian Government in 1942 to design a watch for use by pilots of the Italian navy. His plan was to produce a watch with an emphasis on high visibility, as he knew the pilots would encounter low light and bad weather conditions and would need to rely on their watch to be legible and accurate at all times. Unfortunately his dream was never realised and the designs lost, until in the year 2000 Ilvo’s grandson Italo decided to develop the U-BOAT watch as a tribute to his grandfather. Though based on the original designs, slight alterations have been made to make U-BOAT as we know it today; namely large, sturdy watches with bold designs.
