The pocket watch is a style that not many people continue to sport in the 2000s, but the U-65 Pocket Watch changes up the traditional styling of the classic time teller to bring it head-first into the 21st century. Made from aircraft-grade titanium, the U-65 Pocket Watch features a futuristic silhouette and the ability to display the time for three timezones.
A mere 99 of the U-65 Pocket Watch are to be created by U-Boat -- the manufacturer of some seriously exquisite time pieces. Sapphire glass finishes the face of the U-65 Pocket Watch without adding too much extra weight, which is a mere 210 grams. Although the style of the U-65 Pocket Watch might have some ready to buy, the price has yet to be disclosed, which means it might be out of reach for some.
