Dive tool capabilities enhanced for Minimalist Modello Uno by Unimatic, boasting 600 meters of water resistance.
Unimatic, a brand known for its minimalist and industrial dive watches, has unveiled the Modello Uno ProDiver trio - a limited-edition collection of three watches. The collection comprises the U1S-T-PD6-B, U1-PD3-B, and U1-PD3-OR, each offering unique features that cater to different preferences.
Distinctive Features of Each Model
U1S-T-PD6-B
The flagship model, the U1S-T-PD6-B, boasts a sandblasted titanium case, a first for Unimatic's 600m dive watch. With a slimmer profile due to the Sellita SW200-1 movement, this watch provides an impressive 600m water resistance, ensuring durability for professional divers.
The dial features a matte black design with bold, outlined markers, and a date window at 6 o’clock. The bezel is a 120-click unidirectional matte black ceramic, with white Super-LumiNova BGW9 diving scale lighting turquoise. The watch also incorporates a dual-color lume setup, with blue Super-LumiNova on the hour indices/hands, and orange lume on the matte ceramic bezel minutes scale and minute hand.
U1-PD3-B and U1-PD3-OR
The U1-PD3-B and U1-PD3-OR are two stainless steel variants, each offering 300m water resistance. They share the same minimalist and industrial design as the U1S-T-PD6-B, with bold geometric dials, substantial crown guards, and no unnecessary complications.
Both models utilize the Seiko NH35A movement, known for its reliability. They also feature 120-click unidirectional matte ceramic bezels with a fully graduated scale and Super-LumiNova at 5-minute intervals. The lume scheme is designed to enhance underwater legibility, with a mix of blue/turquoise and orange glows across the dial, hands, and bezel markers.
The U1-PD3-OR stands out with its orange dial, offering underwater visibility benefits and a nod to dive watch heritage. Both steel models come with the same black NATO strap as the PD6.
