Italian brand Unimatic is making a big splash in 2024 with the launch of its Toolwatch collection. These ultra-resistant watches, tested to US military standards, promise to withstand the most extreme conditions. Focus on the Modello Quattro Toolwatch UT4-GMT, a masterpiece of robustness and functionality.
A collection designed for the extreme
Unimatic is not doing things by halves with its new Toolwatch range. Four models make up this permanent collection, based on the brand's iconic Modello Uno and Modello Quattro silhouettes.
The highlight of these watches? Their exceptional shock resistance. Unimatic has developed a 360ยฐ protection system that envelops the movement and dial. An orange cup-shaped structure protects the sides and lower surface, while an orange ring between the dial and the case suspends all the internal components in a rubberized structure.
Tests worthy of special forces
The Toolwatch collection lives up to its name. These watches have been subjected to MIL-STD-810 tests, developed by the United States Department of Defense.
Among these tests was a particularly brutal drop test: 26 drops from a height of 1.22 meters onto an industrial concrete floor. All five units tested survived without catastrophic damage or operational problems.
The Modello Quattro UT4-GMT: The alliance of style and robustness
Zoom in on the star of this new collection: the Modello Quattro Toolwatch UT4-GMT. Its 40 mm diameter 316L stainless steel case sports a matte sandblasted finish with a stunning effect.
Water-resistant to 300 meters, this watch is not afraid of water or impacts. Its ultra-thick 2.5 mm sapphire crystal and screw-down crown further enhance its resistance.
A readable and functional dial
The matte black dial of the UT4-GMT is a model of readability. The luminescent Arabic hour markers and Unimaticโs signature segmented baton hands are coated with Super-LumiNova C1 for perfect visibility in the dark.
GMT functionality is highlighted by a rotating 24-hour disc visible through an arched window below the 12 o'clock marker. A circular date window at 6 o'clock completes the ensemble.
A reliable Swiss movement
At the heart of the UT4-GMT beats the Swiss quartz movement Ronda Calibre 515.24D. This caliber offers a GMT โcallerโ function, ideal for tracking a secondary time zone.
With a battery life of around 45 months, this watch will never let you down, even on your longest adventures.
An affordable price for an exceptional watch
True to its philosophy, Unimatic offers its Toolwatch collection at reasonable prices. The Modello Quattro UT4-GMT is thus offered at 450 euros, a particularly attractive price given its technical characteristics.
This price positioning is crucial for a true tool watch. Owners will not hesitate to fully utilize the capabilities of their UT4-GMT, without fear of damaging an object that is too precious.
Unimaticโs Toolwatch collection, and in particular the Modello Quattro UT4-GMT, represents a significant step forward in the field of ultra-tough watches. By combining Italian design, rugged durability and affordability, Unimatic proves that it is possible to create a true tool watch without compromise. For adventurers, professionals working in harsh environments or simply those who love indestructible watches, the UT4-GMT is an essential choice.
