U-Boat Darkmoon 40mm In New Colours

U-BOAT anticipates its participation in the exclusive Watches & Wonders fair in Geneva with 3 new Darkmoon models, declined with a satin steel and black PVD treated case, reduced in size to 40mm, and with new color variations. Six new references are accompanied by a 40mm version with a IP Bronze treated bronze case.

The family of innovative Darkmoon watches is thus expanded, characterized by the special oil bath in the case that envelops the movement and creates a visual effect of the absence of glass, as well as an amplified three-dimensional view thanks to the compensating bubble that is free to float on the dial.

U-BOAT Darkmoon 40mm Green SS Soleil Ref. 9502
The first model of this "preview" is the 40mm version, in two types of case, of the acclaimed red glass and black dial model originally presented in a 44mm size. This is accompanied by two models with sunray dials, characterized by green and coral red color nuances that fade from the center towards a full black, in contrast with beige-colored spheres, numbers, and indices treated with luminova, and with a black vulcanized rubber strap.
