Italian luxury watchmakers Unimatic works in collaboration with Japanese designer Mihara Yasuhiro, marking the duo's second time working together. This time, the duo launch a wristwatch that is ultra minimalistic with subtle details throughout the entire design. It boasts a clean white completion in every area of the exterior makeup, taking the Unimatic Modello Uno U1-MY2 as the base foundational design.
It has a white case, a white bezel insert, and a minimal dial with the signature Super-LumiNova white C1 as the markers. The strap boasts two different options -- wearers can select from either a more casual white nylon strap or a more premium option of a white leather strap. There will only be 100 editions of the watch as an exclusive touch and it is stonewashed by hand.
