A CLASSICO IS FOREVER! U-BOAT PRESENTS THE NEW

A timeless icon of the watchmaking brand from Lucca, the Classico Chrono, is now refreshed in three new versions while respecting the stylistic elements that have made it a symbol of timeless design elegance by Italo Fontana.

Iconic design with clean lines, Classico Chrono 45mm, is presented in 2024 in three dial color variations, each expressing a unique style and distinctive personality without compromising the recognizable elegance that has always characterized it.

Three models (ref 9568, 9567, 9581) with a 45mm 316L steel case under the anti-reflective sapphire glass, surrounded by a polished tungsten bezel—one of the world's hardest metals—stand out for the unique three-level dial design in beige, green, and black colors.

Next to the date window, four counters for the chronograph function—seconds, minutes, and 24 hours, two of which are practically overlapping at 6 and 7 o'clock—play with contrasting colors in some models, complemented by others in the same hue as the dial.

In detail, the first model (ref 9568), CLASSICO 45 TUNGSTENO CAS2, chosen by Hollywood actor and singer Jeremy Renner as the "co-star" in the music video for his first single "Wait" from his new album Love and Titanium, released on January 1, 2024; features a beige metal dial with indices and numbers treated with black superluminova, in contrast with three round counters in black.

On the contrary, the model (ref 9567), CLASSICO 45 TUNGSTENO CAS1, stands out with a black dial with indices and numbers treated with beige superluminova and contrasting round counters in beige, with spheres in painted metal also treated with beige superluminova.

Finally, the model (ref 9581), CLASSICO 45 TUNGSTENO CAS GREEN, features an attractive green dial and counters in harmony with the same shade, where indices, numbers, and spheres are treated with beige superluminova.

On the left side of the case, as a "copyright" of all U-BOAT watches, the crown with the characteristic oversized crown guard, secured to the case through a protective hook, is accompanied by a discreet patented button for easy crown extraction (at 8:30) and framed by the chronograph activation and reset buttons, positioned at 10 and 8 o'clock, respectively.

The back of the case, sealed precisely with 7 screws, ensures water resistance up to 100 meters and offers a fascinating view of the Swiss Sellita SW500 movement and the custom rotor through a sapphire glass window skillfully laser-cut in a U shape.

Completing the range of new chronographs is a laser-engraved strap with a buckle in naturally aged leather through traditional craftsmanship processes, available in cognac, dark brown, and black colors. With the three new 45mm Classico Chrono models, U-BOAT reaffirms the role of the Classico model as a protagonist among class chronograph watches and as an icon of timeless elegance.
