Unimatic Uno U1-H Limited Edition for Hodinkee
The UNIMATIC × HODINKEE H Series Limited Edition Collection is the culmination of our long-running appreciation for this young Italian maker. Our collaboration with UNIMATIC is a first in many ways. It represents an evolution for UNIMATIC as an operation, with the most watches it has ever offered at one time – 1,500 total, between three different models.
Most notable, however, is what's inside each watch: the movements are now sourced from Switzerland, a first for UNIMATIC. As a result of the new calibers, the case profile of all three watches has been slimmed to under 12mm. The lugs are also now drilled to satisfy your strap-swapping urges. Finally, all three watches have been saturated in our signature shade of HODINKEE grey, a cool tone that's then accented in black and white in different ways on each model.
The UNIMATIC Modello Uno U1-H Limited Edition for HODINKEE comes with two straps and is delivered inside a UNIMATIC-branded Tough Case. As an Authorized Retailer of UNIMATIC, we're proud to offer an extra year warranty on top of the brand's standard guarantee, for three total years of coverage. The Modello Uno U1-H Limited Edition for HODINKEE also comes with complimentary, worldwide shipping.

History of Unimatic Watches
Founded in 2015 by Giovanni Moro and Simone Nunziato, UNIMATIC has quickly risen as an innovative force in horology, blending minimalist design with robust functionality. The two met at the Politecnico di Milano and shared a passion for vintage Seiko watches. Despite following different career paths initially, their continued dialogue about watches led to the creation of UNIMATIC. Starting as a side project, their first limited run of 300 pieces gained significant exposure when Colette in Paris began carrying their products. A pivotal article by Hodinkee further catalyzed UNIMATIC's transformation from a hobby into a serious business.
UNIMATIC's philosophy centers on functional minimalism, stripping away unnecessary elements to focus on essential design and functionality. Each watch is pressure-tested to withstand depths of 300 meters, exemplifying their commitment to durability. The brand's collaborative approach between Moro and Nunziato has resulted in a cohesive design language, emphasizing refinement and functionality over decoration. UNIMATIC has grown organically, relying on word-of-mouth and strong designs rather than traditional marketing. Their commitment to Italian craftsmanship and local production has positioned them at the forefront of a new era in Italian watchmaking. As they continue to evolve, UNIMATIC remains a unique and influential player in the watch industry.
