We just found your ultimate summertime wrist companion: Unimatic, the Italian microbrand that brings a distinctly modernist (and minimalist) aesthetic to the tool watch space, just hit us with nine fresh watches. Limited to 300 examples each, they include an automatic diver, an automatic GMT model, and a Mecha-Quartz-powered chronograph that all feature the brand’s signature sleek, pared-down aesthetic
The beauty of Unimatic is that the brand’s minimalist design ethos makes the watches the perfect canvas to take on an unlimited range of colors and complications. It’s this unique advantage that makes it possible for Unimatic to execute its new Diving Heritage theme and colors across three of its most popular models. The new collection includes the brand’s Modello Uno diver, the Modello Uno GMT, and the Modello Tre chronograph. Each watch is now available in three different colorways—navy, tropical brown, or black—resulting in nine distinct references priced between €625 (roughly $736) for the diver, €750 (roughly $883) for the GMT, and €862 (roughly $1,015) for the chronograph.
Unimatic is a brand that doesn’t release new models willy-nilly. Rather, it takes the time to perfect a great design, shaping a watch that can adopt new colorways and configurations with ease. The Modello Uno diver and GMT and the Modello Tre chronograph thus look equally excellent in the trio of new colors. And because the watches are so dialed-in on the details, every tweak can feel revelatory. For this new collection, Unimatic refreshed its type that appears on the bezel for a retro feel. Take a look from afar at the diver bezels and you might think you’re looking at a handsome ‘60s Omega Seamaster 300. Each watch features a screw-down crown and bezel, while the chronograph also features screw-down pushers. The result is that these robust 41.5-mm stainless steel watches boast no less than 300m of water resistance—with their rubber straps in coordinating colors, they’re perfect for summertime wear at the beach or beneath the waves.
