THE EVOLUTION OF THE SPECIES: U-BOAT UNVEILS CAPSOIL DOPPIOTEMPO
Two acclaimed models of the brand from Lucca come together in a new one-of-a-kind watch As in an alchemist's laboratory, Italo Fontana experiments, challenges himself, has fun
blending the elements in search of a product with a unique and unmistakable character. He selects the characteristic design features, the technical specifications, the DNA of two
successful models and shapes them as in an "evolution of the species" in the new Capsoil Doppiotempo.
In the creative process he takes inspiration from the 1938 Doppiotempo model, originally designed for the Italian army's parachute assault regiment, the Col Moschin. A famous design thanks to the case featuring two crowns, one for setting the time and date, the other for adjusting the "doppiotempo" or dual-time function, and the iconic
rotating internal bezel that allows the second time zone setting. These characteristics are combined by the Lucca designer with those of the acclaimed Capsoil, an innovative watch that launched the concept of Oil Immersion, characterized by the mechanism completely immersed in an oil bath that amplifies the three-dimensional effect.
A fluid that creates the illusion of absence of the glass, also thanks to the compensation bubble floating freely on the dial and compensating the external and internal temperature variations.
The new Capsoil Doppiotempo is born from this harmonious mix, a watch that therefore boasts a perfect synthesis of all the features that have made the two models famous in the world, transforming them into two icons of pure U-BOAT identity. It is launched with a 45 mm case in AISI 316L steel, declined respectively in the satin version and with black DLC treatment.
The high quality domed sapphire crystal together with the special oil filling the case create an absolute black effect, even more intense and greater legibility of the beige hands and indexes treated with superluminova placed on the two-level black dial and on the rotating bezel at intervals from 30 minutes for the second time zone marked with a red hand. The watch, waterproof to 100 meters, is completed by the innovative locking system (Locking ring system) on the back of the case with quick battery replacement and an ultraresistant black vulcanized rubber strap customized with the embossed logo. The DNA of two iconic models evolves from today into a new and unique form, Capsoil Doppiotempo is born
