Product Information

Full details

The U-Boat Classico Quartz Analogue Watch is designed for individuals who appreciate distinctive, Italian-made timepieces with robust construction and classic aesthetics. Its key benefit lies in its reliable Sellita SW 500 automatic chronograph movement, offering consistent timekeeping and a 62-hour power reserve for uninterrupted use. A potential caveat for some users might be its substantial 45 mm case diameter, which requires a larger wrist for optimal fit and comfort.

FAQs

What type of movement does the U-Boat Classico watch have?

The U-Boat Classico watch features a Sellita SW 500 mechanical automatic chronograph movement, modified to U-BOAT specifications.

What is the power reserve of the watch?

The watch has a power reserve of approximately 62 hours.

How do I adjust the time and date?

Gently pull the crown out to the first position to set the date. Pull it to the second position to set the time. Push the crown back in fully to ensure water resistance.

Is the watch suitable for swimming?

The watch has a water resistance of 100 meters (10 ATM), suitable for splashes and brief immersion. It is not recommended for diving or prolonged swimming.

How should I care for the leather strap?

Care for the leather strap by avoiding excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Natural aging is part of its character.

What does the 45 mm diameter refer to?

The 45 mm refers to the diameter of the watch case, measured across the widest point.

Can the leather strap be replaced?

Yes, the strap can be replaced. It uses a standard lug width and a specific buckle reference, allowing for aftermarket or official replacement straps.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped and is not running.

Manually wind the crown by rotating it clockwise 30-40 times while it is in the closed position. If the issue persists, ensure the watch is worn regularly as the automatic movement relies on wrist motion.

Chronograph function is not resetting correctly.

Ensure the chronograph pusher buttons are fully engaged when pressed. If the reset issue continues, it may require professional servicing to recalibrate the chronograph mechanism.

Difficulty reading the time in low light.

The superluminova treatment provides luminescence. Ensure the watch has been exposed to light for a period to 'charge' the luminous material. If luminescence is weak, the material may need servicing.

Leather strap feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Genuine leather straps often require a break-in period. Wear the watch consistently to allow the strap to conform to your wrist. Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture.

  • High-quality sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment.

Cons

  • Large 45 mm case diameter may be too big for smaller wrists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: Upon receiving your U-Boat Classico watch, it is recommended to wind the crown fully if the watch has stopped. Gently pull the crown out to the first position to set the date and time. For full functionality, ensure the crown is pushed back in securely.

Strap Care: The handcrafted leather strap, made from naturally aged leather, requires gentle care. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and harsh chemicals. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for genuine leather.

Movement Care: As an automatic watch, the U-Boat Classico is powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. Ensure you wear the watch regularly or wind it manually if it stops for an extended period to maintain its accuracy. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields.

Water Resistance: While rated for 100 meters (10 ATM), this is primarily for protection against splashes and accidental submersion. It is not recommended for diving or prolonged underwater activities. Always ensure the crown is screwed down or pushed in completely before exposure to water.
