There is a time and place for a modern wristwatch — in the field. 

If you're out digging up Unicorn bones in the Scottish highlands, battling space aliens with adaptive camouflage in some equatorial rainforest, defending your urban keep against a raging zombie horde - whatever - chances are a modern timepiece would be a better tool for the job. It has something to do with their inherently superior water resistance, durability, accuracy, as well as their ease of replacement and all that.  We won't bore you with the practicality of it all.

Unimatic has been a favorite modern brand of ours since it launched in 2015. Based in Milan, Italy, it’s the brainchild of two young Italian gentlemen who had a desire to construct minimalistic tool watches built to exacting standards that have classically-industrial designs and are heavy, tough, and beautiful.

This particular Unimatic, a Reference U1-MP, is a limited edition of 100 pieces designed in collaboration with Mr. Porter, featuring a subdued, 40mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, a matte blue aluminum bezel insert with a luminous pip, a lovely luminous blue dial with a matching handset, and a Seiko workhorse NH35A automatic-winding movement within.

This piece remains in outstanding overall condition, showing only faint wear and comes complete with all of its goodies!

This is a fantastic chance to own a limited-edition piece from one of the best names in modern watchmaking — don’t pass it up!
