Why we carry it

A bronze watch that gets better with age.

The Classico 50 Bronze is U-BOAT at its most unapologetic: a 50 mm bronze case, deep brown dial and signature crown at 9 o’clock. Its natural patina ensures no two watches age quite the same way.

We carry it for clients who want presence, character and a watch that becomes more personal with time.

The movement

An automatic calibre built around U-BOAT’s signature details.

The Swiss automatic mechanical movement is personalised to U-BOAT specifications, featuring the distinctive crown position at 9 o’clock and a skeletonised rotor visible through the case-back. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), delivers a 48-hour power reserve and is supported by 26 jewels.

Designed for reliability and everyday performance, the calibre reflects U-BOAT’s approach to watchmaking—technical, functional and unmistakably individual.

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.
