Classico U-1001 Beige

I can't decide if I like the look of this watch or not. It also comes in blue and orange, though I like the beige the best out of the three. Here's the details:

The most rugged U-Boat watch yet, the Classico U-1001 boasts a water resistance rated to withstand pressures at 1001 meters below the water's surface. The style of the case also re-invents the traditional Classico case with the use of grade 2 titanium, and new forms for the bezel and crown. The multi-layered dial is composed of one black layer cut out to expose a beige sub-layer in place of the hour markers.

Movement: Automatic Swiss movement with U-Boat-engraved rotor.

Case: Grade 2 Titanium case with 55mm diameter, thick sapphire crystal, screw-down crown protecting cap, hinged to the case, pressure escape valve at 8 o'clock, engraving on the side of the bezel and case.

Bracelet: Specialize U-Boat black rubber strap with titanium engraved plate and deployant buckle.

Dial: Multi-layered black dial with beige recessed sandwich numerals and index markers and photo-luminescent hands.

 

I have no idea what one costs, but seeing as how you have to contact them to even get a price quote, I'm guessing that it's not going to be cheap. You can check them out HERE.
