Replica U-Boat Chimera Chronograph Cream White Watch Review

Normally, the crown of watches is always placed on the right side, but master designers like to break the rules and this results in a beautiful work of art. Today, I would like to introduce you to a watch with an Italian style design and Swiss production standards. This is areplica U-Boat Chimera watch; It was cloned exactly by engineers who studied the same original U-Boat model in detail.

The word “Chimera” means incredible, unimaginable and unreal. Usually a watch is made by assembling accessories into a complete case; Thus, it is easy to repair and its waterproofing works well. As U-Boat's most important series, Chimera has achieved this. The case consists of two parts and there are five screws to fix these parts tightly together. We can see these five screws in an asymmetrical design at the positions 1:00, 3:00, 8:00 and 10:00; This detail is one of the reasons why I love this watch so much. The white cream sandwich dial has black numerals and bar markers, all lume; This makes it easier to read the clock at night. As the model name indicates, this is a model with a chronograph function. The long, thin black hour and minute hands in the middle indicate chronograph seconds, the subdial at 6:00 indicates chronograph minutes, and the one at 12:00 indicates chronograph hours. So now you can guess where it shows the seconds; Subdial at 3:00 position. The date display is at 9:00, and right below it is the name of Italo Fontana, the genius designer of the U-Boat. The bezel is made of solid stainless steel and its polishing work is excellent. There are three special buttons on the left; Pressing the button at 10:00 resets the chronograph, pressing the button at 8:00 starts and stops the chronograph. Time and date can be adjusted with the crown.

Case and Body Workmanship

Inside this magnificent Chimera case is an Asian 7750 automatic chronograph movement; We can see the detailed engraving of the movement from the display case back. We can see this mechanism in many different replica models, thanks to its stable and accurate operation. The bracelet is made of brown genuine leather; I think its color is in perfect harmony with the white cream dial. Making a replica U-Boat Chimera is not an easy task, but I think this is a successful replica model.
