Imitate u-boat italo fontana u 42 watches
Not a typical classic watch brand, the u-boat Italo Fontana u 42 a wonderful presentation for big watches. the replica u-boat Italo Fontana u 42 introduced is a 53mm watch. some might consider these watches “over-size,” others think they are just right. how do you think?
even though large face, there are more reasons to get one beyond trend conformity. large watches make a bigger statement, are easier to read, and provide much more room for interesting complications or design themes. to compensate for their size, u-boat watches place their crowns and chronograph pushers on the left side so that they don’t dig into one’s wrist and are less prone to snag or get damaged. this is becoming more and more popular with large or activity orientated watches.
there are quite great many u-boat watches that have been releasing some impressive watches. I have been taking more notice of them, and like where they are going. the sizes range from 45mm to 55mm. while you can get watches in steel and gold, they now offer large ceramic cases on the flight deck models. both the gold and ceramic models are shown are 55mm and flight deck models, but there is also another model u-boat offer that I like a lot is the “thousands of feet.”
inside are all swiss automatic movements. the configuration looks like a Valjoux 7750, but the size of the watches would suggest the use of the new eta Valgranges movement which offers the same features as the Valjoux 7750, but it is larger. speaking of chronograph function, you’ll notice the large screw cap on the crown connected via a little clasp to the bottom side of the watch. this is a bit of a vestigial element on the watch but is meant to assist with water resistance. it was used to be that one method of ensuring a water-tight case to seal in the crown. therefore, more other effective means have been put forward, like crowns that themselves screw in, or tighter gaskets that don’t allow water in at high pressures. if you want to adjust the crown, you shall unscrew the cap, it dangles on the little hinge so that it does not get lost, and a smaller crown shall be revealed underneath.
u-boat replica watches are pretty sturdy and have a nice feel for such watches. they are undoubtedly the highest quality watches to display this theme, even though they are not the only watch that combines retro military looks and with submarine conventions.
our u-boat Italo Fontana u 42 may have found a worthy complement to his vast Panerai collection. I wonder what an entire line of replica watches would look like.
