U-Boat is an Italian watch brand based in Tuscany.  Designed by Italo Fontana, these unique remarkable timepieces combine the finest Italian craftsmanship with the designer’s exceptional vision. Inspired by the atmosphere and landscape of the region, each watch has a similar distinct tone making it stand out from the rest.

Inspired by the dark side of the moon, the Darkmoon collection takes the concept of oil immersion first introduced with the Sommerso models and improves upon it. The timepiece’s Ronda Swiss movement is completely immersed in oil. The dial gets its black colour from being surrounded by the oil. 

Core features of the Darkmoon Collection:

• The crown is placed on the left-hand side and is fitted with U-Boat’s patented crown protection system.
• A curved mineral glass crystal covers the dial. 
• The case is filled with a special oil that emphasizes the dial and increases readability. A visible air bubble is left to compensate for temperature variations. 
• Water-resistant up to 5 bars or 50 meters.
