U-Boat's Profondo 10, 000 MT Submariner
The world of extreme jump watches is a fascinating 1. It's dominated by watches that cost more than the majority of people's cars but provide features few people care about. The actual Rolex Deepsea Challenge, using its 11, 000-meter water resistance as well as $27, 600 price tag (if you can find it), sits towards the top of the pyramid, while Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Modele made history at the bottom from the Mariana Trench. Now, Italian language micro-brand U-Boat is getting into this high-end market using the Profondo 10, 000 MT-a titanium beast with a water proof rating that rivals timepieces costing six times just as much.
When a micro-brand attacks severe engineering
The Profondo ten, 000 MT not only offers 10, 000-meter water resistance but additionally has the rigorous engineering in order to back it up. The 46mm by 27mm titanium case is actually exemplary, but its sophistication isn't very entirely unfounded. As Rolex and Omega have learned using their ultra-waterproof watches, stainless steel is simply too heavy when this degree of pressure resistance is required. Ti is the only material that may theoretically meet these specs.

U-Boat's design follows established concepts: a massive titanium construction, the 9. 7mm domed sky-blue crystal, and a unidirectional revolving bezel. While the construction follows to established principles, U-Boat has taken a different approach. The particular three-layer sandwich dial will be deeply aged with oxidizing acids, resulting in a patina similar to shipwrecks. While the design is exaggerated, we certainly avoid mind it.
Italian episode meets Swiss precision
Typically the dial's construction truly brings together U-Boat's design philosophy. Instead of emulating the clean, expert aesthetic of Rolex or even Omega's extreme dive watches, they've created pieces which look like they've been salvaged through the deep. The three-layer metallic structure is laser-cut and also meticulously aged to create a distinctive patina. As you might guess, what this means is no two watches tend to be exactly alike.
Applied ti hour markers, filled with beige Super-LumiNova, contrast with the older finish, while 1970s-style scuba diving hands are distinguished through size and color. The moment ring features hexagonal bolt markers, which U-Boat states evoke the structure of the submarine hull. If I needed to describe the aesthetic, it would be something like steampunk satisfies "20, 000 Leagues Underneath the Sea. "
The automatic helium escape valve in 3 o'clock is crucial for any watch designed to handle intense pressure fluctuations, and the screw-down crown features a prominent officer. The caseback features a laser-engraved Neptune pattern and functions U-Boat's patented locking engagement ring system to ensure optimal water proofing.
Thought-provoking Value Proposition
From the market perspective, things obtain interesting. Don't get us incorrect, we love Rolex, however this watch offers a strong value proposition. It's also provided by a distressed Italian leather-based strap and a three-link ti bracelet, though Rolex costs an additional fee for these choices.
