Christmas Ahoy with a U-Boat Watch
If you have a son, husband or brother in the navy and they are coming home for Christmas then why not make this a year to remember. The U-Boat timepiece was originally designed for the men who manned the U-Boats during the Second World War. Eventually the project was scrapped and the watches never made, but the Italian designers original drawings, materials, prototypes and colour samples were preserved for the next sixty years.
The watches were eventually put into production by the designers grandson, sixty years after the idea was conceived. It was thought originally that it would help seafarers to have a timepiece that worked above and below sea level. The watch is programmed to the specifications for a U-Boat, with the stem set at 9 oclock. The U-boat watch has a stainless steel case and has a power reserve of up to forty hours.
There are several styles of the U-Boat timepiece to choose from, depending on whether or not your sailor boy is positioned on the flight deck.
