A choice we can defend in person.
There is conviction in a watch that declares itself, and U-Boat builds it on purpose. Made in Lucca since 2000 on Italo Fontana's family heritage from the 1940s, the line is oversized, Italian and unapologetic. A portion of our clients want that, and we keep a few pieces so we can meet them honestly rather than talk them down.
The Sommerso Blue Metal carries a 46mm satin-finished steel case with a unidirectional bezel and blue Super-LumiNova hands and indexes for strong visibility, water resistant to 300 metres, on a smoothed steel-link bracelet built for comfort. Diving credentials and everyday wearability in one. U-Boat scale, finished for the surface.
Hand-finished, made to be serviced.
Hand-assembled, regulated, and finished to the manufacture’s own standard.
Servicing is organised through us and the manufacture, and the watch comes back to your wrist — with a loaner in the meantime.

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, handle the shipping both ways, and put a loaner on your wrist while you wait.
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.
When your watch is at service we will put another independent on your wrist, so the wrist is never empty.
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.
