U-Boat 8486/C Men's Brown Sommerso Watch
A well-balanced combination of elements pushes today Italo Fontana in launching a bronze version of his professional dive watch, Sommerso. From one side this ancient metal alloy intrigued him for all its natural properties, setting it apart from all of the other metals. On the other hand, Italos passion for diving is gathered in this watch, designed to withstand the rigorous demands of professional diving. A nod to antique diving equipment worn by the earliest nautical divers is evident and empathized by the natural oxidation of the material of the 46mm case, which creates a naturally aged look, often a unique one, extremely desirable by its wearer. Necessary for every pro dive watch, it features a rotating unidirectional bezel with calibrated markers, and on its left side is the characteristic U-BOAT crown with a patented protective device.
