Unimatic Teams Up With RUF Automobile And Highsnobiety For Special Edition Watches
Unimatic, in partnership with the brands RUF Automobile and Highsnobiety, presents two limited editions of the Modello TRE U3.
The two new Unimatic watches meet the partnership established between the communication agency Highsnobiety and the German car manufacturer RUF Automobile, which celebrate the latter’s heritage (85 years) through a line of products that encompasses clothing items, key rings, watches, clocks and other accessories.
The two new watches share the same 41.50mm stainless steel case, featuring unidirectional bezel, sapphire crystal, screwed oversize crown and bold pushers, solid case back engraved with the logo of the partner brands and 300m of water resistance.
On the Bi-Compax dial are two registers with snailed backgrounds equipped with a 24-hour counter at 3 o’clock and a 60-minute record at 9 o’clock. Printed hour markers and hands filled with luminescent material, a minute track along the edges and the logos of the two partner brands at noon followed by Unimatic brand’s lettering at 6 o’clock.
The U3-RUF-G model comes in a brushed steel case with a black tachymeter insert bezel, a white dial with green accents filled with Super-LumiNova C1 white and matching brand logos in green.
The U3-RUF-B model is presented in a steel case with a black DLC-coated and a black insert bezel with no scale and just a pip-lume at noon. The black dial is adorned with yellow accents including the brand logos and the yellow Super-LumiNova GL.
Inside, they are powered by the Seiko VK64A hybrid movement with a mechanical module for a chronograph reaching 32,768 Hz.
The watches arrive attached to a NATO-type textile strap in green or black with hardware matching the case, each one is limited to 100 units and priced at €950, and can be purchased on the Highsnobiety website.
