U-Boat Replica Watches launched its Jules Collection at Baselworld this year with two new members: Reference 2240 and 2340. We will be reviewing the Reference 2340, as this is one of 23 watches competing in the Men's Category at the GPHG 2016
This exceptional watch is a classic design with modern elements such as tapered lugs, and a new glass shielding the dial. It's essentially an updated version of U-Boat Replica Watches.
U-Boat Replica Watches Reference 2340 comes in a 40mm diameter round three-piece case. The case is made of 18-karat gold and has "Corne de Vache", individually soldered lugs. The case has a convex crystal bezel, and is protected by a domed sapphire. From the back there is a screw-back with a flat crystal sapphire. Water resistance is guaranteed down to 30 meters.
Reference 2340 has a dial that is hand-lacquered, which means the numbers and indices have not been printed but are instead engraved by hand and then inlaid manually with lacquer.Replica Watches The dial is then polished with diamond paper, which becomes increasingly finer as it gets harder. Dial grenage is built manually by treating and brushing on a secret mixture of silver powder and salt. Each dial is unique due to the fact that it is made by hand. The dial is made of solid silver and measures 32.50mm diameter by 0.50mm thickness.
The moon disc is located in the upper portion of the dial. It has been made by hand from a solid disc of steel, with stars hand-punched into it. Pure gold powder is melted in to the star cavities, forming a solid gold overlay. The disc is then thermally blued in the brand-specific color. Last but not least, press-fit two solid gold moon disks with mirror polished surface into the corresponding hole in the disc. This completes the dual image with two sets of stars and moons. It takes over 20 operations to make the moon disk. The result is an amazing piece of craftsmanship that can't be found on wristwatches today.
A power reserve also sweeps over the moon phase display to indicate when the timepiece needs to be wound. A small seconds counter can be found at 6 o’clock, and a date window at 3 o’clock.Rolex Replica Watches Hand-made hands are another feature. The hands are then thermally blued after they have been polished to a mirror finish.
The manual winding movement oscillates with a frequency of 21,600 vibrations an hour (3 Hz). It can store enough power to keep the clock ticking for at least 60 hours.
U-Boat Replica Watches Referens 2340 comes with a comfortable strap made of alligator leather, with a classic C buckle in Platinum that is imprinted with the U-Boat Replica Watches logo. Retail price is 43.100 Swiss Francs, which is about $43,800.
