Unimatic's U1-SP L.E.
Unimatic's U1-SP L.E.
Not sure if everyone has seen another watch that celebrates the 50th
Anniversary of the Moon Landing yet.
It's Unimatic's Modello Uno “Space Program”, or U1-SP. A special limited
editon with 41.5mm stone washed style white Cerakote coated stainless
steel case, 300m WR, sapphire crystals, black aluminum bezel insert, matte
white dial with cream old radium Super-Luminova hands, and markers, red
NASA logo, white Unimatic nylon strap, and Seiko NH35A too.
Have a look...

Sold out. That would have been a nice one for my 12 y.o.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.
Re: Unimatic's U1-SP L.E.
I know it's a cash grab, but other than that I don't why they would do it. It's not like they any history with space/NASA.
Re: Unimatic's U1-SP L.E.
How are these guys still around after the movement fiasco and handling? I wouldn't want to be a customer after that...
Re: Unimatic's U1-SP L.E.
Sorry Tom - I think it looks terrible. Useless non-numeric bezel, puzzling NASA tie-in (and I wonder if they bothered to get NASA's permission to use the logo), and it looks like someone dropped it in a can of ceiling paint.

Jumping on the Moon bandwagon. Looks horrible. Even more amazing sold out already

Re: Unimatic's U1-SP L.E.
Didn't this brand have a big issue with movement spacers or something like that in the recent past?
Of course they didn't. To be honest, I wonder how they get away with it.

If you told me that watch came from a cereal box, I wouldn't doubt you.

I’m just loving how they call this finish “stone washed” make it a feature of the watch. I saw a similar finishing on an accessory on the Tacoma forum I participate in and it was immediately called out as a shit powder coating job.

Re: Unimatic's U1-SP L.E.
There was no issue. Only Jake from Dagaz watches had an issue/compliant when servicing a watch under warranty. I have not seen any other reports about it. Just that one instance. So I do not think there was a fiasco.

I thought someone here noticed dial movement when setting the watch also...toxicavenger wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 6:26 pmThere was no issue.

Re: Unimatic's U1-SP L.E.
Matt in Aussieland removed his caseback to show everyone the plastic holder. He then reinstalled it and had some movement. But I think his last report was after taking it apart and moving the holder he had no movement issues. At least that is what I recall. So basically Matt created the issue.matt.wu wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 6:43 pmI thought someone here noticed dial movement when setting the watch also...toxicavenger wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 6:26 pmThere was no issue.

I say it is still cool for a 12 y.o. who is into space exploration, like my son.

Haha, I just peered behind the veil I guess. What was discovered was less than ideal, but ultimately not that much of a big issue.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 7:15 pmMatt in Aussieland removed his caseback to show everyone the plastic holder.

I am not thrilled with how they have designed the internals of these watches, and I would not buy another one based on this (certainly not at the prices that they have crept up to either).
I think people just expected more from this "watch company", but did not realise it is more of a "fashion design company", as they just seem to churn out insert fashion crossover brand X / Unimatic variants now.
