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

The Modello Due U2-H was released in in collaboration with HODINKEE in July, 2021. It features an excellent 38.5mm stainless steel case with drilled lugs (!!!), a grey California dial with luminous indices, a matching handset, a domed sapphire crystal, and Unimatic's stylized crown - which operates the robust and dependable Sellita Calibre SW200 automatic movement within.

A Unimatic is perfect for doing all those things you'd never in a million years wear your precious vintage watch for. This particular example is a sold out model in nearly-new condition from its original owner and comes with its complete kit, including a bomber hardshell presentation case, warranty card, instruction manual, and a pair of straps. It is sensible, practical, and incredibly good looking. We almost hate how much we love it.
