Why we carry it

A watch that makes technology part of the aesthetic.

The Darkmoon Black SS turns U-BOAT’s oil-filled case into its defining design feature. The liquid system deepens the black dial and creates an almost floating visual effect that is distinctly its own.

We like the restraint of the execution: stainless steel, bold 44 mm proportions and a technical system that serves both form and legibility.

We carry it for clients who want something unconventional—Italian, inventive and unmistakably different.

The movement

Swiss quartz precision, adapted to U-BOAT’s liquid-filled design.

The Swiss-made Ronda 762 quartz movement is lubricated within U-BOAT’s oil-bath system, combining dependable precision with the Darkmoon’s distinctive technical construction.

Reliable and efficient, the calibre allows U-BOAT’s patented liquid technology to take centre stage while delivering accurate everyday timekeeping.

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.
