U-Boat 1938 Doppiotempo GMT Auto. S/Steel Black Dial Brown Leather Strap 8400 43mm (2019)
With designs originally intended for the Italian navy, U-Boat brings a precise, high end and technical edge to each and every watch in their collection. Oversized crowns, some of the toughest materials and the ability to withstand some of the most extreme climatic conditions, U-Boat brings an unapologetic stance to the watch industry like no other.
One of the most popular timepieces among fans of U-Boat’s “Automatic” collection, the 1938 Doppiotempo GMT also known by its code name “8400/A” fully deserves its status as the brand’s bestseller.
Inspired by the robustness and functionality of submarines, this timepiece is designed to evoke the timeless elegance of Italian sprezzatura (nonchalance). The design pleasing to the eye, the structured aesthetic, the superior quality components make this watch the ideal piece of jewellery for lovers of the Italian art of living. The yellow indexes contrast with the matt black dial background and allow easy reading of the time. Index and hands are impregnated with a solution of SuperLuminova, a phosphorescent pigment that provides exceptional luminosity at night. The sapphire crystal (with magnifying glass on the date window) ensures resistance to scratches and other shocks. The brushed steel case, 43mm in diameter and 15mm thick, is resolutely modern and has a notched outline, a little reminder of the gears that have always been part of timepieces. A unidirectional bezel is also attached to this case. In terms of refinement, this automatic watch has a 22mm wide black leather strap, in the purest tradition of Tuscan leather goods.
The 1938 Doppiotempo GMT, water-resistant to 100 meters, is equipped with a manufacture movement, the Caliber U-28. Extremely sturdy, this one allows automatic winding of the watch, but not only: it also benefits from manual winding
This allows the power reserve to be rewound via the crown located at 9 o’clock, offering the owner of the timepiece the possibility of recharging his movement even when the watch is not worn.*Customers purchasing on Chrono24 are liable for any customs and import duties incurred by shipment to respective country of delivery.*
