U-BOAT ABO FLIGHTDECK

From the matte black PVD case, deep black dial with the gray U-boat logo and the stamped "Italo Fontana / Made in Italy" and bright orange hands and indices, this watch is unmistakably Italian the way Lamborghini is unmistakably Italian. You have to have a certain attitude to wear this watch - it's 50mm and black and orange! This watch is NOT subtle.

The packaging is superb. A U-boat leather presentation box. Here the watch is sort of presented to you in a pretty unique way. It's strapped down with a cutout in the shape of the watch case - the strap tucks itself into a slot. Great design, and clearly different that the typical watch box. Pull the case up and you'll find the manual and a U-boat brochure with two leather slots for extra straps.

The craftsmanship is top flight. The case is a rich, deep matte black. Even the U-boat logo on the crown protector lines up perfectly when screwed down - that's a really nice surprise. The watch strap is an aero design with three holes cut into the top most layer of leather to reveal a perforated leather underneath. Great design element that's kind of unique. The strap has screwed in lugs.

The dial is beautiful. The hands do glow a much brighter orange than the numbers and indices.

The real star of the show however is the movement with the ETA A07.111 - which is basically (very basically) an enlarged ETA 7750 with no chronograph, big date, and a center second hand. The rotor is enormous! It takes up virtually the entire case back! I believe this is U-boat's only black rotor so far - Very cool. It's keeping impeccable time out of the box.

This watch, while being pretty big at 50mm and about 16-17mm in width, sits very well even on a small wrist. You can wear it all day in comfort. The leather strap is only about 3.5mm thick but supremely comfortable and really helps offset the weight of the case..

Overall, this watch is excellent. The non chrono Flightdeck is a nice, clean, easy to read dial.
A stylish, fashionable, well made, accurate, highly legible and head turning timepiece
