A watch where innovation becomes the design.
The Darkmoon 44mm Black IPB is U-BOAT at its most inventive, using a patented oil-filled case to create a unique visual effect that gives the black dial exceptional depth and clarity.
We appreciate the way it turns a technical solution into an aesthetic signature. The liquid system, bold proportions and Italian craftsmanship make it unlike anything else in its category.
We carry it for clients who want a conversation piece—unconventional, distinctive and unmistakably U-BOAT.
A quartz calibre engineered for precision and innovation.
The Swiss-made Ronda 712.3 quartz movement powers the Darkmoon with reliable accuracy, enhanced by U-BOAT’s unique oil-bath system. The movement is designed to operate within the liquid-filled case, supporting the watch’s distinctive visual effect and technical character.
Combining Swiss precision with U-BOAT’s Italian approach to design, this calibre delivers dependable performance while allowing the Darkmoon’s patented liquid technology to take centre stage.

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.
When the time comes, we arrange the full service through U-Boat and handle the shipping both ways.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
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.
