In exciting news from U-BOAT, the timelessly iconic Classico Chrono is set to be refreshed and re-released in three stunning new versions. The stylistic elements that originally cemented the Classico Chrono’s status as a symbol of timeless design elegance have been respected but in 2024 the iconic design will be presented in three dial colour variations.
Each of the three new iterations express their own distinct style and unique character without any threat to the instantly recognisable elegance of its predecessors. All three of the new designs are bound to stand out for the unique three-level design U-BOAT have architected and their appearance in beige, green and black.

The three models (ref 9568, 9567, 9581) have a case size of 45mm crafted of 316L stainless steel with anti-reflective sapphire glass sitting atop. One of the world’s hardest metals has been utilized on the polished tungsten bezel for each of the new colourways.
The first of the three new variations is the Classico 4 Tungsteno CAS2, which has already made waves following its selection by Hollywood actor and singer, Jeremy Renner, for use in the music video for his debut single “Wait”. The watch features a beige metal dial with black SuperLumiNova used to treat the indices and numbers which creates a stunning visual contrast with the three round counters in black. This in itself is a beautiful opposition to the style choices made on the next of the three releases, the Classico 45 Tungsteno CAS1. This model stands out in its own way due to the beige SuperLumiNova treating the indices and numbers which are set against a gorgeous, glossy back dial and contrasting round counters in beige.

Finally, the Classico 45 Tungesteno CAS Green dazzles with an attractive green dial and matching counters of the same shade. The indices, numbers and spheres have again been treated with beige SuperLumiNova to tie the model in with the rest of the Tungesteno family.

The back of the cases in each variation has been sealed tight with exactly 7 screws which ensures the wearer is able to maintain water resistance up to 100m. The sapphire glass window on the back has been skillfully laser-cut in a U shape which offers an intriguing view of the Swiss Sellita SW500 movement and the custom rotor.
The range of new chronographs each come with a naturally aged leather strap which has been laser-engraved and comes in cognac, dark brown or black. The new range of 45mm Classico Chrono models re-affirms U-BOAT’s iconic status as a main character among chronograph watches offering timeless style and elegance. All three styles are available to purchase now.
