The grain of the leather is left untouched on the underside of the band and is only marked by the U-Boat logo that is burnt into it.The U-42 is an automatic-winding watch.It runs on "Meccanica Svizera" or Swiss mechanics.The movement that the watch runs on is dubbed the U-28 calibre.It is the first movement to be given a U-Boat calibre denomination.It offers a 40 hour power reserve.Undoubtedly it is provided by one of the major replica Breitling A77350 Ladie's watch manufacturers of high-grade movements in Switzerland, probably ETA or Sellita, and is reconfigured
