U-Boat unveiled a 65mm monster – the U-1942 - two years ago. Each of the 29 collector’s pieces were made of Grade-5 Titanium with the widest sapphire glass available in the world. Then last year U-Boat launched its little brother, a 53mm version limited to 999 pieces worldwide, the U-42. So, what will U-Boat unveil at BaselWorld this year?

U-Boat's resized edition has a 40 hour power-reserve and is water-proof to a depth of 300m, practial functions with a dramatic design.

The dial is another story. It is made from a brass slate. All engravings on this piece are carried out by mechanical pantograph, including the brass dial which is galvanized and finished with a bright enamel paste. It is based entirely around the original models where no-nonsense dials were key to the U-Boat project. Today’s renditions have seen these brilliant billionaire's beach-watches span the globe in a rebirth like no other.
