The Unicum is one of the best expression of the highly successful series of U-42 watches designed by Italo Fontana and displays all the distinctive qualities expected from the brand U-BOAT starting from the case in lightweight titanium with an IP black coating and completely handcrafted and treated by Italian artisans in order to make each watch completely original and one of a kind.
In occasion of Baselworld 2018, Italo Fontana presented the updated version of the Unicum, increasing the bold personality of the model and its Steampunkesque features.
In the brass dial, which have been naturally aged, Italo chose to apply a skull in relief making the appearence of the watch even stronger and rebel along with the distressed and highly unique vintage look. The case, with a diameter measuring 50mm, excluding lugs and the huge crown, makes a very bold visual statement and the bezel, rotating in either direction and lockable through a patented mechanism have been scratched on purpose, treated with an IP black coating and special acids, and meticulously hand finished adhering to the finest artisan traditional techniques.
