U-Boat "Darkmoon", limited colour run of 150.
Comes in Yellow orange and this blue.
Colour is Marmite, but I love it.
An Italian Brand, made in Tuscany.
Its a chunky boy at 45mm diameter, case thickness in 16mm, but the curved crystal makes it wear smaller that it might look.
Still big though!
The Movement and dial is oil filled?
You can see the Bubble at 12 o'clock.
Tell the time AND check if your kitchen table is level! :mental:
The oil fill gives the dial almost an underwater "glow" in the right light, very groovy.

From the Website:
"The new U-BOAT Darkmoon range characterized by the innovative concept of “Oil Immersion”, tested for the first time in the Capsoil model, where an oil bath completely immerses the Swiss Ronda quartz movement and completely surrounds the dial turning it into a full, deep color"
Whatever,
its pretty unusual and cool. :thumbsup:
It's different.
certainly 'bright'.. not sure if i love it or not
I like the overall style if not the colour, but how do you change the battery without all the oil coming out?
Rear view
It's an encapsulated chamber inside the case.

Certainly different, especially in having the crown on the left hand side (at "9 o'clock").Quote:

Ah - I didn't know that was an option.
Think the term ought to be "dextro": from the Latin for left: 'dexter'.
no its destro.. italian i think for righthanded. a watch is usually worn on left hand...Quote:

Fair enough - that's the problem in having a 'classical' education.

That's a classy watch.
Only thing I bought in Macy's was a roast beef sandwich. And I couldn't really afford that.
From memory it was only a coupla hundred bucks.Quote:

It's got an NH35 movement - ref.4r35-00p0
Hope you manage to track one down.
Thanks Roy
I found this, not quite the price I wanted though [emoji23]

Looks good - very stylish! Well done! :)Quote:

I didn't buy it @Barry it was too much for me. If I look it up and find it's actually a £1k+ watch I'll consider it, but it's more than twice the price of what Roy paid new. Maybe it's a better model/movement.
Yes, pricing seems a little optimistic but it appears to be a rare model and people are odd with what they'll pay to get a particular watch, look at all that hoo-ha over the moon swatch and what those tiffany blue rolex ops were changing hands for, madness.Quote:

They do a black faced version which is not unlike the Seiko -

Looked for another and they're £312 new in the US so I'll have to keep an eye out for a better priced one.Quote:

Not bad - but I'm not taken with the 'green theme'.
Perhaps you might prefer the black version?Quote:

Yes - that's better. :)
Didn’t care for the ‘fuzzy felt’ strap on either watch so the black one gets a textured leather strap and the green one gets a stainless steel bracelet.

This watch has caught my attention. I quite like the look.
I notice around the numbers (55, 15) are some crack like marks.
Is the asking price on the high side?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354864428...Bk9SR9D7nZecYg
S.
At that price I'd expect it to be fake
Price is about right/on the high side taking into account the bezel damage.
It’s only 36mm which would be regarded by most as on the small side for a man’s wrist.
It might be on the small size for you, but my watch has a diameter of 34mm and it's big enough for me.
