Darkmoon Black SS 8463 Watch

The Watch

Step into the world of Italian elegance with this striking black model featuring beige accents, crafted by Italian house U-Boat. From the Darkmoon collection - inspired by innovations developed for the Italian navy - the Darkmoon Black 8463 delivers a style that is both refined and unmistakably unique. Its polished round case is crafted from 316L stainless steel, an exceptionally durable material built to maintain its quality for years to come. The case measures 44 mm in diameter, ideal proportions for a men's timepiece. A screw-down crown is positioned not on the right, but on the left at the 9 o'clock position, letting you set the hours and minutes displayed by the hands on the dial. The dial is shielded from everyday shocks and scratches by a domed sapphire crystal. The dial is entirely filled with a special oil that creates a luminous depth and the impression of a crystal-free, darker surface with perfect legibility. This signature feature, unique to the brand, is called "oil immersion". An air bubble inside the case provides exceptional resistance to temperature changes. On the caseback, a screw-down case back incorporates the iconic "Locking Ring System" concept for easy battery replacement. This elegant watch also offers a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

Round in shape, this dial features a metal base painted black. Highly legible information is rendered in beige, making it easy to read at a glance - and versatile enough to complement any outfit with understated elegance. Around the perimeter, baton indices and Arabic numerals in beige mark the hours, ensuring quick and clear readability. A minute track runs along the outer edge for added precision. At the center, two black hands with beige luminescent tips display the hours and minutes, even in low-light environments. The brand's logo is positioned just below the 12 o'clock index.

The Movement

U-Boat has chosen to power this watch with a Swiss-made quartz movement: the Ronda 762 caliber, driven by a No. 364 battery, delivering precise and reliable timekeeping of hours and minutes.

The Strap

Entirely black, the strap on this watch is made of black rubber. Vulcanized, it delivers unbeatable flexibility and comfort. The brand name is embossed in relief at its center. It fastens with an ardillon buckle that lets you adjust the fit to your wrist. The lug width measures 22 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters, this watch is a great entry point into the world of water-resistant timepieces. While it is not designed for bathing, competitive swimming, or scuba diving, you can wear it through everyday splashes - or even forget to take it off in the shower. That said, our experts recommend keeping this timepiece dry whenever possible to preserve its movement for years to come.
