The angle A professional diver coloured from the Langhe hills — truffle, not black — with every case individually tested to 300m
Verdict The palette is the point, and the specification underneath it is a real diver's.

What it is

UNIMATIC's Modello Uno U1S-NPT takes its palette from the Langhe hills in Piedmont: a satin truffle dial inside a wide, colour-matched bezel with a truffle anodised aluminium insert. The case is 40mm of brushed 316L stainless steel — 41.5mm across the bezel — with phantom hour and minute hands, a reverse-lollipop seconds hand, and Super-LumiNova C1 on the dial and the seconds tip, per the maker.

Inside is Sellita's SW200-1b automatic — 28,800 vibrations per hour, hacking seconds, a minimum 38-hour reserve. The crystal is 2.5mm double-domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating on the inner side. The case is rated to 300m and individually tested, and the watch ships on a Tabacco deer leather strap in UNIMATIC's tough case. The edition is 200 pieces, individually numbered, with a Langhe-themed engraved caseback.

Why it matters

Most divers are black, blue, or a deliberate retro pastiche. The U1S-NPT is none of those: a muted earth tone carried across dial and bezel alike, on a case that keeps the full professional specification — 300m, individually tested, a 120-click safety bezel. It is quiet gorp applied to a dive watch, and it works because nothing functional was traded away for the colour.

What to check before buying

  • It ships on leather. A 300m diver on a deer leather strap is a deliberate UNIMATIC choice — plan a rubber or nylon strap for actual water use.
  • 41.5mm is the real width. The 40mm figure is the case; the bezel carries wider, and the wide bezel is the design.
  • Tax and duties are included in the €1,280. That is the maker's stated price basis — confirm it still holds at checkout for your address.
  • 200 pieces. Individually numbered editions do not restock on a schedule; if the size of the run matters to you, it is stated plainly.
