Unimatic: The Future of Microbrand Watches
If you are a watch connoisseur, you know how frustrating it could be to find an outstanding timepiece from a watch microbrand. Watch microbrands are less popular options than popular watch brands. These microbrands are less popular options because most of them tend to produce wristwatches that do not meet the demands of their customers or potential clients.
Although most people prefer popular watch brands over these microbrands, some of the latter have proven themselves as outstanding options to consider. One such microbrand is Unimatic. Unimatic has continually impressed its clients since its inception. It is good to see that, unlike other microbrands, this brand produces wristwatches that can compete in standard with popular watch brands.
It is quite interesting that Unimatic produces cheaper yet quality alternatives to luxury brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Omega. This small, independent brand offers legitimate and compelling designs that will give you value for your money.
One unique thing with Unimatic is that the boutique Italian microbrand only modifies the basic tool watch concept to provide a classic yet simple design. If you love traditionally refined timepieces, you will love every timepiece on display from Unimatic's catalog.
Another advantage of using a watch from this brand is its size. Unimatic offers specialized watches that meet the demands of watch connoisseurs and everyone who loves outstanding timepieces. Keep reading our article if you want to uncover some of the best Unimatic watches for men.

The Unimatic History
Unimatic is a brand established in 2015 by two watch connoisseurs, Simone Nunziato and Giovanni Moro. The two Milanese natives decided to curate the best micro brand watches to compete with timepieces from popular brands.
Unlike other microbrands, Unimatic produced timepieces that met the expectations of several watch lovers. Since its inception, Unimatic has proven itself as the best independent Italian microbrand. The founders, Moro and Nunziato, knew themselves from their time studying Industrial Design at the largest technical university in Italy (Politecnico di Milano).
The Birth of Unimatic's Modello Uno
Moro and Nunziato started by buying some vintage timepieces together. After Moro tried to create some watch designs without much success, he reached out to Nunziato. The duo decided to create timepieces together. Consequently, the duo created the first and most popular model from Unimatic - the Modello Uno.
The Modello Uno is a great dive watch featuring a minimalist and almost Bahaus-like design. The watch's design resembles some archetypal timepieces you could find in the 50s. Precisely, the wristwatch resembles dive watches from Rolex, Blancpain, and Omega. Additionally, the watch has a unique and industrialized outlook.
The Modello Uno has a 40mm case diameter (13.6mm thick) and uses a 316L steel construction. Furthermore, the watch features a screw-down crown and case back. With this design, the Modello Uno soon became the design Unimatic built on to develop some of its outstanding timepieces.
The Birth of Unimatic's Modello Due and Modello Tre
After the success of the first model (Modello Uno), Unimatic decided to create a new design - the Modello Due. The Modello Due represents the best field wristwatch you can find. Unimatic's Modello Due is indeed an upgrade from the Modello Uno.
After Modello Due's success, Unimatic produced its first chronograph design, the Modello Tre. Unlike other watch designs, the chronograph from Unimatic provides precision. Additionally, you can enjoy the classic design and other features which make the Modello Tre a success.
From there, Unimatic started producing some in-house designs and collaborating with other brands to produce outstanding timepieces. Unimatic has become one of the most popular microbrands with the best timepiece designs.
