Capsule 50MM Titanium, LTD Edition

Ref. 8805 · In the case
The U-BOAT Capsule 50 MM Titanium draws inspiration from the bathyspheres of the 1930s and the imagined underwater worlds of Jules Verne. Its imposing 50mm Grade 5 titanium case combines exceptional strength with a lighter presence on the wrist, while its steampunk aesthetic gives the watch a distinctly mechanical character. Limited to just 90 pieces, the Capsule is an unconventional expression of U-BOAT’s Italian design and experimental spirit.

Why we carry it

A watch from another world.

The Capsule is U-BOAT at its most imaginative, drawing on 1930s bathyspheres and the fantastical underwater worlds of Jules Verne. Its 50mm Grade 5 titanium case gives the concept an imposing yet surprisingly wearable foundation.

The steampunk-inspired architecture is deliberately unconventional, turning the watch into something closer to an instrument from an alternate age than a conventional timepiece.

We carry it for clients who want rarity and character in equal measure — only 90 pieces exist, and none of them are easy to mistake for anything else.

The movement

A Swiss automatic calibre, customised for U-BOAT.

The Sellita SW 200 is a proven Swiss automatic mechanical movement, personalised to U-BOAT’s specifications and visible through the Capsule’s distinctive construction. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, runs on 26 jewels and provides approximately 41 hours of power reserve. A skeletonized rotor adds a mechanical element to the movement’s visual character.

It is a straightforward, serviceable Swiss calibre with a strong track record for reliability. When maintenance is required, we coordinate servicing through U-BOAT’s authorised service network.

For the life of the watch

A relationship, not a transaction.

Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.

i.
Service, organised through us

When the time comes, we arrange the full service through U-Boat and handle the shipping both ways.

ii.
Straps & bracelets, for life

Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.

iii.
One person, not a call centre

You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.

Hold it once. Turn it over.

A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
