Overview

The U-Boat Classico 40 IPB Black is the compact Classico in black, from the IPB-coated case to the alligator strap.

Sapphire front and back

Sapphire covers the black dial, and a sapphire window in the screw-fastened back reveals the movement.

Rooted in a 1942 naval design

The Classico’s large numerals and protected left-side crown come from Ilvo Fontana’s 1942 plans for an Italian Navy watch that was never built. His grandson Italo revived the design in Lucca. On the Classico, a patented guard protects the crown.

The details

The 40 mm case is 316L stainless steel with a black IPB finish and is water-resistant to 100 meters.

The automatic movement displays the hours, minutes, and date. It has 25 jewels, a 38-hour power reserve, and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The black alligator strap measures 18 mm at the lugs and closes with a steel pin buckle. The watch is made in Italy.
