U-1942 and the U-42 are based on a watch developed by Italo Fontana’s grandfather for the Italian
Navy. At BASELWORLD 2010 Italo unveiled the U-42 watch inspiring awe amongst U-BOAT watch enthusiasts.
The limited edition U-42 was based on the U-1942 but scaled down to a 53 mm. One year after, same
place, Italo introduces the chrono version in same size 53 and in a bit smaller size 47 both in black dial and limited
