Following the great success of the new Chimera 46 Skeleton at Baselworld in 2015, U-BOAT launched a brand new grade 5 titanium watch.
Chimera Skeleton Titanium is the perfect example of the creativity of U-Boat creator Italo Fontana. It uses one of the strongest materials and is extremely lightweight. The watch uses a completely hollow movement, as can be seen from the sapphire crystal glass and case back. AROLA’s special “Squelette” U-77 Valjoux Top Soigne automatic movement has been improved and highly decorated.
The bezel, case and case back are locked together by an external tube, which ensures a water resistance of 100 meters. In addition, the patented engraved button enables the wearer to eject the inner crown from its recessed position to set the time. The watch provides timing functions, hours, minutes and seconds. In this model, Italo also adds an additional fourth counter, which displays the 24 hours of the day, and is marked with a little red hand. U-BOAT cheap

The focal point of a traditional watch is the front, which is used to mark the time and is usually placed against a solid color background. Today, U-BOAT creator Italo Fontana stripped it from Chimera 46 and only showed the inner workings of the watch. Chimera’s unique iconic case is made of AISI 316 and black stainless steel. The bezel, body and bottom cover are fixed together by threaded pins. Now it has a new “industrial” charm. Like the previous model, the highly decorated automatic movement can be seen through the transparent front and bottom cover.
Under the optically thick and flat sapphire glass, you can admire the U-77 Valjoux Top Soignè automatic mechanical movement, modified and personalized in accordance with the black screws of the U-BOAT specification.
This chronograph movement is reliable and accurate, and is the hallmark of the U-Boat limited edition, distinguishing them from the standard models. Last but not least is the innovative and patented engraved button that pops the inner crown out of its recessed position to easily adjust the date and time. Limited to 88 pieces. mens replica watch
