But hey, whatever floats your… yeah whatever. In conclusion, the U-1001 is a let you down and sink U-Boat for $5,100. Can’t these manufacturers stick to hard shell leather cases that can be used? Ironic how some of the Swiss watch companies claim to be so adamantly opposed to anything made in China, but are happy to serve sweatshop boxes with their overpriced and supposedly Swiss made watches. The box ( I hate all boxes anyway) is another turn off. You’ll be happy for about a week and then it’ll let you down when you realize you’ve been distracted from some of the important qualities this watch lacks. Classico U1001 - Titan - Armband Kautschuk - 47mm - Neu Limitiert. Open your door to 500,000 watch enthusiasts every day. There is 1 watch in offer for this model. Unique variety of watches on Chrono24.my. I’m dubbing the U1001 a suck you in and knock you down piece. The price for U-Boat Classico Titanium U1001 on 30 June 2023 is starting from 4,350. Where’s the perlage finish? This was a huge turn off for me and was a cheap move by U-Boat. The U-1001 is being sold as a limited edition piece and for this price, collectors should expect something more exciting behind the facade. What we’re left with is a huge amount of space between the movement and oversize case, with no pizazz or effort put into camouflaging the gap. Let me shoot ya straight, I would wear the hell out of this timepiece (not diving) and I do like it, but for the readers and the people that buy a great deal of watches and flip them, this is a watch that will hit the pile sooner than others.ĭespite the grand appearance, heavy duty 47mm case, and that striking hint of orange – but for $5,100, no way (the 55mm is even more ridiculous at $7,150)! The outer perimeter of the bezel boasts a calibre U/28, but let’s face it, all they did was toss in an ETA 2824-2 with minimal modifications and replace the oscillator with some cutout U-Boat signage.
It was all down hill from there, real quick. Then came time for dissection, examination, and evaluation. When I first saw the U-Boat U1001, I thought wow! Colors that complement each other, huge crown power with cool helium escape valve, and very nice visual appearance.
