U-Boat
For sale is what could be considered "the odd one out": not an entirely Swiss made watch, but partly of Italian descent. Presented is a U-Boat "Flightdeck" Chronograph, a men's chronograph watch with reference number U-7750/50, presumably dating back to the early 2010s. Its design sprouted from the mind of Italo Fontana, the founder of U-Boat. The company is based in Italy, and is known for overly large and distinctive timepieces. The watch features a hefty 50mm case, with signed screw-down crown and chronograph pushers found on the left side of the case. The dial on this particular example comes in a matte black finish with bright orange accents all around. Despite its Italian heritage, the beating heart is Swiss: behind the transparent caseback we find a renowned ETA 7750 automatic chronograph movement, which is accurately keeping time. It comes fitted to a brand new and custom made black leather strap with orange stitching, matching the color of the dial accents. It was handcrafted to fit the odd dimensions of the case and original U-Boat signed buckle.
The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, but is still in decent condition. You will find wear marks on the case. Said case is unpolished and therefore in original shape. The sapphire crystal is free from scratches. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been freshly serviced and is working perfectly. Comes as a watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are accompanying this piece. An authentic U-Boat flightcase style box will be included, but it is most likely not the original one belonging to the watch.
Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance.
