Thousands of Feet series are examples of U-Boat watches that spawned out of this passion.Another important supply of inspiration for Italo's Zenith Queen of Hearts watches career is really a concept that his grandfather had proposed to the Italian Navy in 1942.The numerals and left handed configuration of U-Boat watches spurred from these drawings and were originally revived last year through the giant, 65mm, U-1942.The special edition U-42, unveiled in March 2010, is based on the U-1942 but scaled down to a 53mm size and also to a more accessible cost range.
Italo Fontana's grandfather, Ilvo Fontana, submitted his watch idea towards the Italian Navy at the same time that Panerai was producing their pieces for that Marina Militare.While not associated in any way using the Panerai family business, Mr.Fontana's Zenith Queen of Hearts took it's origin from the same principles of high legibility, water resistance, and reliability.Several notable differences occurred, where the most obvious was an intricate crown system about the left of the case.
The left-handed configuration, which achieves a far more comfortable fit on the wrist as well as better protection for that crown, became one of the signature replica Zenith Queen of Hearts watch characteristics of Italo Fontana's U-Boat watches.Italo's U-42, like his granfather's concept needed to be, is extremely water resistant.Its structural specifications read exactly like a professional-grade diving watch.
