Despite being founded only a decade ago, Italian microbrand Unimatic has fast become a go-to source for rugged and affordable tool watches, thanks in part to the brand’s unique hyper-minimalist design aesthetic.
But sometimes, Unimatic’s modern sensibilities can get in the way of a watch’s practicality. After all, a dive bezel without any markings isn’t the most useful when it comes to timing events.
So if you’ve been wishing for a Unimatic watch that incorporates more of the stylish flair and practical utility of vintage tool watches while still looking like a Unimatic, then the brand’s new Diving Heritage Collection has just the watch, or rather, watches, for you.
A Tool Watch for Every Occasion
Unimatic’s new collection features three different models, each filling the role of one of the “Big Three” tool watches. There’s a standard dive watch, a GMT and a chronograph.
The diver and GMT both use the brand’s standard Modello Uno case, while the chronograph uses its Modello Tre case. All cases are in brushed stainless steel and measure 40mm across and 41.5mm at the bezel, and all bezels are 120-click unidirectional with a coin edge. Each case is water-resistant to 300m with a screw-down caseback featuring the same mid-century diver-inspired insignia.
