U-Boat Capsule

The U-Boat Capsule collection stands for striking Italian design, technical robustness and a clear, unmistakable signature. Developed by Italo Fontana, these watches embody the characteristic style of the U-Boat brand: large, powerful and deliberately different from classic luxury watches. With case sizes from 45 mm to 50 mm and a solid construction, Capsule models are true statement pieces on the wrist that immediately catch the eye. Typical of the U-Boat Capsule are striking cases in stainless steel, titanium or PVD-coated steel, combined with clearly structured dials and oversized crowns – often positioned on the left-hand side. Inside, reliable automatic movements are at work, mostly based on the Sellita SW200, which stand for precision and everyday usability. This is complemented by robust features such as sapphire crystal, screwed cases and solid water resistance of up to 10 ATM.

A special feature of the Capsule models is their limited availability. Many references are released in small quantities and are aimed specifically at lovers of unusual designs who consciously want to stand out from the classic mainstream. Depending on version and material, prices typically range from around €2,500 to over €4,000. In the HORANDO context, the U-Boat Capsule is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a striking, masculine watch with strong character. It combines Italian design DNA with solid Swiss technology and is aimed at watch lovers who consciously want to make a powerful statement on the wrist.

U-Boat Capsule – Striking design with technical presence

The U-Boat Capsule collection stands for uncompromising design, technical strength and the unmistakable signature of Italo Fontana. As part of the Italian brand U-Boat, the Capsule series embodies powerful shapes, exceptional dimensions and a clear, masculine design language. These watches are deliberately different – large, commanding and far removed from classic watch designs. Made in Tuscany and produced in limited numbers, the Capsule is aimed at watch enthusiasts who want to wear a statement on their wrist.

Eye-catching design with maximum presence

The U-Boat Capsule is instantly recognisable. Large cases with diameters of 45 or even 50 mm ensure a massive presence on the wrist. The shape is clear, technical and functional – typical of U-Boat's design language. A characteristic feature is the left-hand crown at 9 o'clock with its distinctive crown guard. This unusual detail not only improves wearing comfort but also underlines the instrument-like character of the watch. The dials feature strong contrasts, often in black with large Arabic numerals and generous luminous material. This ensures excellent legibility at all times, even in difficult conditions.

Robust materials and technical construction

The Capsule models are made from high-quality materials, including stainless steel, PVD-coated steel or titanium. The titanium versions in particular impress with high durability combined with lower weight. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while screw-down casebacks and solid construction ensure longevity. With water resistance of around 10 ATM, the watches are reliable companions in everyday life and during sporting activities.

Automatic movement with reliable performance

Inside the U-Boat Capsule beats an automatic movement based on the proven Sellita SW200, specially modified for U-Boat. It offers a power reserve of around 40 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The watch displays the classic hours, minutes and seconds, complemented by a date display. The combination of robust engineering and a reliable automatic movement makes the Capsule a high-performing everyday companion.

Limited models with collector potential

Many versions of the U-Boat Capsule are produced in limited numbers. This exclusivity not only increases their appeal to collectors but also underlines the individual character of the watch. With different materials, colour variants and case sizes, the Capsule collection offers a wide range of models that nevertheless all share a distinctive identity.
