U-Boat Chimera 46mm SS Blue Watch

Italian Mechanical Mastery & Industrial Sculptural Heritage

A testament to Italo Fontana’s bold architectural design language, the U-Boat Chimera 46 SS Blu (Ref. 9602) is an exclusive limited edition of just 300 individually numbered pieces worldwide. Engineered with unmistakable mechanical strength, the 46mm surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case features an ultra-resilient polished tungsten bezel secured by external tie-rods and custom lug screws that clamp the bezel, carrure, and case back into an impenetrable structure. Underneath a curved optical sapphire crystal, the dual-level dial commands attention with a striking blue-painted striped metal upper plate, laser-cut Arabic numerals, and a dedicated 24-hour indicator at 4 o’clock. Equipped with U-Boat’s iconic left-hand "Destro" crown assembly, patented Crown Release System lever at 10 o'clock, and an exhibition caseback revealing a bespoke Swiss automatic caliber, the Chimera 9602 delivers uncompromised presence for the discerning collector.
