U-Boat Capsoil SS surrounds its black metal dial with oil, giving the display depth beneath a domed sapphire crystal in a 45 mm case.
Seen through oil, the black metal dial has a depth that makes the sapphire crystal above it appear almost absent. Super-LumiNova marks the hands and hour markers, glowing in low light after exposure to a light source.
The oil surrounds the dial and the Swiss quartz movement. A visible air bubble moves as the watch changes position, leaving room for the oil to expand or contract with temperature. The 45 mm case is made of 316L stainless steel. Domed sapphire covers the display, and the screw-down crown sits on the left. A mineral-glass window is set into the screw-down back.
The black rubber strap measures 22 mm at the watch, fastening with a steel pin buckle. Water resistance is rated at 10 atm. When the watch is off your wrist, U-Boat specifies a temperature range of 0–60 °C.
The bubble is an intentional part of the oil-filled construction. It leaves room for the oil to change volume with temperature and moves as the watch changes position.
Keep it within U-Boat’s stated 0–60 °C range, away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat sources, and large temperature changes.
