Prodott Overview
The U-Boat Classico 8105 is a distinguished Swiss automatic timepiece, featuring a robust 47mm stainless steel case and a deep matte black dial. Its design incorporates three superimposed layers under a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The watch is equipped with black and luminescent baton-style hands, indices, and Arabic numerals at the 4 and 8 o'clock positions, all treated with beige Super-LumiNova for enhanced visibility. A unique "U" at the 12 o'clock position serves as a signature hour marker. The watch features a "Destro" (right-handed) configuration with a left-sided screw-down crown, inspired by canteen watches, and a discreet date aperture at the 3 o'clock position. A fixed plate on the left side displays the serial number, and a visible ruby jewel accent is set above the 6 o'clock position. It is fitted with a brown calfskin leather strap and features an exhibition caseback showcasing its Swiss automatic movement.

Setup
Spakkjar
Carefully remove the watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.
Tkebbib Inizjali u Setting
As an automatic watch, the U-Boat Classico 8105 is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, for initial setup or after a period of inactivity, manual winding is recommended:
- Ħoll il-Kuruna: The crown is located on the left side of the watch case. Gently unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it is free from the case.
- Manual Winding (Position 0): In this position (crown fully in, unscrewed), turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will build up a power reserve to start the movement.
- Setting the Date (Position 1): Pull the crown out gently to the first click. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. If the current time falls within this window, set the date to the previous day, then proceed to set the time.
- Setting the Time (Position 2): Pull the crown out further to the second click. The seconds hand will stop. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure accurate time setting, synchronize with a reliable time source. When setting the time past midnight, observe if the date changes to confirm AM/PM.
- Żgura l-Kuruna: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back in fully and screw it clockwise tightly against the case. This ensures the watch's water resistance.
After initial winding, wearing the watch regularly will keep it wound. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require re-winding.
