Italy’s Unimatic continues to expand its limited-edition offerings, and their latest is the Series 8 line that’s inspired by Tuscany’s olive and gold hues.

Unimatic x Huckberry Earthform Collection

Amos Kwon — Wed, 24 May 2023 14:27:39 +0000

Unimatic’s collabs are some of the best and most unique in the watch world. Their latest is with men’s online retailer Huckberry. The Earthform Collection pays homage to the National Parks Service with three colorways: Lichen (inspired by Yosemite and El Capitan), Redwood (Pacific Crest Trail’s redwood forests), and Sandstone (Grand Canyon). Each watch has […]

Unimatic Modello Quattro UTB-4

Amos Kwon — Mon, 22 May 2023 14:09:55 +0000

We love Unimatic for its unique style, robust construction, and creative limited-run watches and collaborations. This time, they’ve created a robust tool watch imbued with masculine style and everyday utility. The new UTB-4 is its toughest watch to date. The modest 40mm sandblasted case looks brash with its thick, fixed monoblock bezel and its no-nonsense […]

Unimatic x Henry Singer Modello Quattro U4S-T-HS

Amos Kwon — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 14:08:28 +0000

Unimatic churns out unique and stylish collaborations that sell out remarkably quickly. The new Modello Quattro U4S-T-HS is no exception. The result of a partnership with the longstanding Canadian men’s clothier, the Modello Quattro U4S-T-HS is a titanium-cased GMT automatic and Unimatic’s first Swiss GMT. The 40mm case gets mated to a storm grey dive […]

The Best Chronograph Watches, from $175 to $3,000

Amos Kwon — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 15:44:23 +0000

With all the utility one can get out of smartwatches and phones these days, few guys are using chronograph watches to time events and activities. Let’s face it, hardly anyone used chronographs to perform that function, anyway. But no smartwatch can possibly replace the level of mechanical interaction a chrono complication can provide, and then […]

One of our favorite watch brands is taking to the end of summer with a splash of color.

Unimatic X Esercito Italiano Collection

Amos Kwon — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 15:31:05 +0000

The Italian microbrand watch company is on a rampage, issuing special edition watches that sell out quickly. Its latest collab is with Esercito Italiano, otherwise known as the Armed Forces of the Italian Republic. Three watches comprise this limited edition series: the U1-PA, U1-PAN, and the U4-TA. Each watch is built to take punishment, just […]

The Best Microbrand Watches Under $500

Amos Kwon — Wed, 08 Dec 2021 15:47:33 +0000

Anyone who says you need to spend thousands of dollars on a premium brand name wristwatch to get quality and style clearly hasn’t gotten his hands on a great microbrand timepiece. The world of excellent watches is deeper and wider than you’d expect, and microbrand watches are surging. What you get in a solid microbrand […]

Unimatic X Grimoldi Milano Modello Uno U1-GM

Amos Kwon — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 13:57:14 +0000

Try to say that ten times fast. The new Unimatic X Grimoldi Milano Modello Uno U1-GM is a special collaboration between the Italian microbrand watch company and the artisanal Italian jeweler. The very orange timepiece marks Unimatic’s first Destro (meaning worn on the right hand, not the G.I. Joe villain), and it’s based on the […]

The Best Field Watches You Can Buy

Amos Kwon — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 14:49:41 +0000

The venerable field watch deserves your respect. It was, essentially, the first bona fide wristwatch for men, one that was born out of necessity on the battlefields of WWI and WWII. Prior to this, most men who could afford a watch used a pocket watch. But pulling one out of your military jacket while Nazi […]

Unimatic U4-A

Amos Kwon — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 14:39:04 +0000

The latest release from Italian watchmaker Unimatic is the Modello Quattro ref. U4-A. The watch is significant because it marks a new chapter for the brand and delivers a model based on the Modello Uno watches but with a fixed bezel, as opposed to previous Modello Uno versions with unidirectional dive bezels. The matte black […]

Unimatic x BIOTOP U1-BTP

Amos Kwon — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 14:09:59 +0000

Italian watch brand Unimatic has been able to consistently deliver high-quality but affordable boutique timepieces since it bombed the watch scene with its Modello Uno U1-A back in 2015. Since then, they’ve introduced several new models, both meca-quartz and mechanical automatic, and they’ve also done unique limited-run collabs with the likes of Luisaviaroma, Mihara Yasuhiro, […]
