UNIMATIC Watches of Italy have released two new special editions of their debut diver, the Modello Uno in a limited series of 240 pieces –
of which, 200 pieces are in Brushed Steel priced €450 + VAT. The watches will ship out from the 1st October 2016.
We’ve seen the Modello Uno before, it’s a really nice looking diver – it’s quite simple but with some old school references – however there’s nothing overly derivative about it.
The U1-B has also has a number really appealing design features, some borrowed such as the serial number engraving in between its lugs and the sterile bezel that recalls Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms 3H from the 1970s.
I really like the simplicity shown here, it’s a tried and tested route when designing a dive watch and in many ways is the only way to achieve that classic / timeless look that we all love.
So how about the actual watch? The U1-B has been Made in Italy and features a solid 316 Brushed Stainless steel case with: a 2mm screwdown caseback and –
an 8mm crown together with high quality gaskets allowing an individually tested water-resistance to 300 meters. The caseback features Unimatic’s signature conversion scale engraving.
Further divers features include: a highly legible black dial with maxi markers in old Radium coloured SuperLumiNova, a double-domed anti-reflective Sapphire crystal and –
a unidirectional rotational divers bezel with coin-edges and a black aluminium insert sans dive-time scale but with a single matching Radium coloured 12hr pearl.
Power comes from a SEIKO NH35A automatic mechanical movement tuned to 21600bph with 4hrs power reserve and a hacking seconds hand.
The U1-B comes on a 22mm black heavy duty nylon NATO strap with a custom Brushed Stainless Steel Unimatic signed buckle.
