![]() ![]() You see an expose synthetic ruby from the movement – that is a hallmark of many U-Boat watches. So much water resistance security! The dial of the watch is matte black with the orange hour indicators on a layer below the dial. The crown cap screws down, and so does the crown. Under the super large crown cap is the actual crown – which is tiny in comparison. Cause in the end, even if the watch is functionally silly, it is still well made and designed nicely. I am happy to see that for the price of this watch U-Boat ensured high quality throughout the watch. Well machined, and each operates as they should without problem. Speaking of the helium release valve, the quality and finish of the large connected crown cap and the surrounding parts is very good. It has more features for diving such as the helium escape valve beneath the crown, but again, how can you go diving in a watch that you can’t really see underwater? Perhaps it is good for the sunny clear water of the topics. While the chic looking dial design, complete with the name of the watch is hip looking, it is pretty a-functional for diving purposes – given that this is a diving themed watches. Here you have a lovely orange for the hand and some of the hour indicator. The watch is also limited to 1001 pieces (333 or so pieces of each color), and is available with a variety of colors trims for the dial. Watches are usually tested a bit beyond their stated water resistance, so adding that extra meter doesn’t mean anything from a technical standpoint – all part of the built -in depth rating wiggle room. Basically it is the same as a 1000 meter diving watch, but they decided to add another meter to the title. The U 1001 name refers to the fact that it is water resistant to 1001 meters. Read the back and the sides of the watch to learn just about everything you’d like to know about it. All over the case are branding details and information about the watch. The metal case is cut very well, and the stainless steel has a very smooth bead-blasted feel to it. ![]() Speaking of big metal cars, the U-Boat U 1001 is a whopping 47mm wide in Stainless Steel. ![]()
