# Three-Way Collaborative Watches Highsnobiety and UNIMATIC Create a RUF Capsule Collection By Amy Duong | Published 2024-08-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruf-capsule-collection References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/ruf-highsnobiety-unimatic-watch/)  [Highsnobiety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100th-anniversary-capsule) works in collaboration with [UNIMATIC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimatic-3) and RUF to create the RUF capsule collection of watches. The exclusive range is comprised of [limited Chrono Diver timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canfield-speedway-lap-07-watch) that bring RUF's automotive legacy to the forefront just as much as UNIMATIC's expertise in Italian industrial watch design. At a glance, watches and motorsports may not be two elements that are paired together, however, they are joined by the chronograph complication. This complication is seen in both of the Modello Tre U3-RUF-G and Modello Tre U3-RUF-B watches. The relationship is symbolic as it serves as a representation of innovation on both sides of the partnership. It leads to the engineering of premium vehicles as well as impressive watches.
