    It's an encapsulated chamber inside the case.

    Letting go and relaxing

    U-Boat "Darkmoon", limited colour run of 150.
    Comes in Yellow orange and this blue.
    Colour is Marmite, but I love it.

    Is Tiffany blue still ‘on trend’? [emoji6]

    Very cool that, nice summer watch.

    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!

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

    Ah - I didn't know that was an option.

    Think the term ought to be "dextro": from the Latin for left: 'dexter'.

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