1 Italo Fontana creates a new version of Chimera Day-Date through a Lily crest on the dial.

2 Italo Fontana creates a new version of Chimera Day-Date through a Lily crest on the dial. The emblem of Florence, called fleur de lis flowered," is the symbol of the city since the eleventh century. Standard bearer of the Made in Tuscany values and born in Lucca, medieval city just few kilometers from Florence, Italo Fontana, the Creator of U- BOAT, decides to pay a tribute to his homeland. The U-BOAT watch to spell out both the date and day of the week on its dial, the Chimera Day-Date, either in the two versions, bronze and stainless steel, now boasts another edition. On the two versions of dial of the Chimera Day-Date /A," dark brown and black, Italo decides to add the fleur de Lis crest, respectively in bronze and silver color, as well as on the vintage leather strap, all handmade by Florentine artisans. Two different cases, both 46 mm diameter, one in stainless steel and one in naturally aged bronze in which the bezel and the back of the case are locked together by external tubing and a customized key that ensures absolute water-proofing. In the bronze version, the dark brown dial has been laser cut, hand brushed on the surface, painted in the central joint one more time in bronze color and then brushed again, all by hand. In the stainless steel version instead, the two superimposed dials are in black and their bâton hands, laser cut, have been treated with superluminova. Last but not least to Chimera Day-Date /A it has been applied the patented system for the retrieval of the watch crown, enabling greater ease of adjustment for both date, time and from now on day in its entirety.

4 Italo Fontana crea una nuova versione del Chimera Day-Date con lo stemma del giglio sul quadrante. L emblema di Firenze, il Giglio, è il simbolo della città dall undicesimo secolo. Porta bandiera dei valori del Made in Tuscany e nato a Lucca, città medioevale a pochi chilometri da Firenze, Italo Fontana, Creatore di U-BOAT, decide di rendere omaggio alla sua terra di origine. L orologio U-BOAT che mostra sia la data sia il giorno della settimana sul suo quadrante, il Chimera Day- Date nella versioni bronzo e acciaio, ora vanta una nuova edizione. Sulle due versioni di quadrante, marrone scuro e nero, Italo decide di inserire lo stemma del giglio o fleur de lis, rispettivamente nei colori bronzo e argento così come come sul cinturino vintage in pelle di vitello entrambi fatti a mano da artigiani fiorentini. Le due differenti casse del "Chimera Day-Date /A hanno un diametro di 46 mm con ghiera e retrocassa uniti insieme da tiranti esterni e una chiave personalizzata che ne assicura l assoluta impermeabilità. Nella versione in bronzo, il quadrante marrone scuro è stato tagliato al laser, raschiato sulla superficie, dipinto successivamente nel punto centrale per poi essere nuovamente spazzolato, il tutto meticolosamente a mano. Nella versione acciaio, i due quadranti sovrapposti sono neri e gli indici, tagliati al laser, sono stati trattati con superluminova di colore beige. Da ultimo e non meno importante al Chimera Day-Date /A è stato applicato il sistema brevettato per la facile estrazione della corona dalla sua posizione di fermo che permette un agevole aggiustamento dell ora e della data e ora anche del giorno della settimana.
