Founded by a pair of industrial designers in 2015, UNIMATIC is a young, Milan-based maker of minimalist sport watches.

The Modello Cinque U5S-TA ‘Blu Notte’ watch is a collaboration between Unimatic and The Armoury. This timepiece, the first collaboration between the two brands, merges Unimatic’s distinctive design with The Armoury’s timeless aesthetic.

This daily wearer features our unique ‘Blu Notte’ midnight blue dial, with concentric circles pressed into the dial surface reminiscent of rippling water. This type of visual treatment is often seen on subdials but in the case of the ‘Blu Notte’, it is fully visualized across the face of the dial. The dial features a cool gray open seconds rail and dial trims. The ladder hour and minutes hands, reverse lollipop second hand with gray tips, float above the dial. The hour markers and hour and minute hands are filled with Super-LumiNova® C1, making it exceptionally easy to read in low-light conditions.

Housed inside the 36mm stainless steel case of the U5S-TA is the automatic caliber Sellita SW200-1b, 28,800bph, with a power reserve of 41 hours and a hacking feature. On the back of the watch, the viewer is treated to a detailed engraving of concentric circles reflecting the dial’s design. The caseback also features the engraved phrase ‘Remove Jacket and Tie Before Diving’ for a touch of whimsy and is numbered X out of 50.
