U-BOAT is back at it again and making waves in the watch world with its latest creation – the Chimera Damasco Bronze. This isn’t just any watch. It’s a limited edition, with only 300 pieces available, making it a true collector’s item. A blend of bold bronze and sturdy steel, this new version is a nod to the brand’s roots with founder Italo Fontana behind its creation.
If you thought the Chimera 25° in gold and titanium was the pinnacle, you’re in for a surprise. The new Damasco Bronze keeps the expressive allure of its predecessor but with a unique twist – bronze, one of Fontana’s favorites. The watch boasts a hefty 46 mm case crafted from 316L stainless steel, complemented by a striking damascus-steel bezel that’s as unique as a fingerprint. And trust me, when we say unique, we mean it – the pattern can’t be replicated.
The dial, with its two-level design and Clous de Paris pattern, offers a visual treat. It packs a punch with blued hands and a 24-hour counter, surrounded by bronze touches that catch the light just right. At the heart of the Chimera Damasco Bronze lies a Swiss ETA 2824 Top Soigné automatic movement, tweaked to perfection by U-BOAT for top-notch precision and reliability.
Of course, no U-BOAT is complete without its patented left-side crown protection. And this model features a second patented button for easy crown release – because why not have a little extra flair? Flip it over, and the sapphire-crystal caseback reveals the meticulously crafted movement inside.
With water resistance up to 100 meters – thanks to the meticulous use of through-screws – this watch isn’t just about good looks. It’s built to endure. Finally, the hand-treated Tuscan leather strap ties it all together, each strap numeral engraved individually to remind you that your watch is one of a kind.
So why is the Chimera Damasco Bronze such a standout? It’s a combination of visionary design and a nod to the adventurous spirit that has always driven Italo Fontana. If you’re ready to embrace the bold and the daring, this watch might just be your new best wrist-wearing friend.
