u-boat watches are famous for their big size, made with lots of metal, have cool designs, and make you feel good being around them. at the same time, they aren’t very practical, don’t always have what they look like they should under their hoods, and aren’t the most comfortable machines to use on a daily basis. public love and strong sales led to quality improvements for the brand and a series of designs so often copied, they quickly became many watch lover favorite and social status symbol in some circles.
u-boat’s momentum is only held back by its new designs and ability to continue to squeeze juice out of its theme. while there is a sweet spot case size and design for the brand, they have gone a good way beyond that a number of times – specially done for those who need a fresh fix of wild designs. the watch has an adjustable rubber strap that has a titanium end piece on one side – which has a good style and makes the giant watch wearable. You can see the u-boat name engraving on the butterfly style deployment also in titanium. like a customized wedding dress, the hot limited edition u-boat u 1001 watch is a bold fashion item that has many hallmarks of being something function, but falls just short of actually being that. the dial is slight black with the blue hour indicators. You see an expose synthetic ruby from the movement – that is a hallmark of many u-boat replica watches. the placement of the diagonally aligned date window shows you how small the movement is in the super big case. inside the watch is a swiss eta 2824-2 automatic movement. which is generally known as the best movement in replica watch market.
the big and heavy case makes the watch feel worth its price. made by aluminum, the case looks like a diving vessel itself. again you see an engraving of the angler fish on it, and a thick porthole with a rounded crystal lens where the watch sits and stare at you as though it is safe while you are diving. it is a serious part of the timepiece’s presentation, and u-boat makes you feel darn special to wear it. i’ve never had a more impressive feeling of a watch’s presentation box. i think it must have cost u-boat almost as much as the watch itself to make.
