tiny multicolor windows mark the hours on luca nichetto's watch with UNIMATIC

"The dial itself is finished in a cool grey grainé texture, with matching trims and logos to maintain a consistent tone. The colored windows add contrast, and surrounding the dial is an engraved rehaut with five-minute markers. Time is indicated in Luca Nichetto's watch with UNIMATIC using brushed stainless steel phantom hour and minute hands. A matte black reverse lollipop seconds hand contributes a small graphic accent and helps track movement at a glance."

"The release of Modello Cinque U5S-NS marks Nichetto Studio's first venture into watch design and its inaugural piece in UNIMATIC's Nichecraft Capsule Collection, the latter being a series created with brands. The model is housed in UNIMATIC's Modello Cinque case and crafted from sandblasted stainless steel. The case has a slim profile, and a double-domed sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective coating protects the dial."

UNIMATIC and Luca Nichetto Studio created the Modello Cinque U5S-NS featuring four distinct multicolor windows that replace the conventional date aperture, inspired by children's colored calendars. The dial is finished in cool grey grainé texture with matching trims and logos, and an engraved rehaut with five-minute markers surrounds it. Time is shown with brushed stainless steel phantom hour and minute hands and a matte black reverse lollipop seconds hand. The sandblasted stainless steel case houses a double-domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating, a screw-down crown, and a screwed-in caseback engraved with a custom UNIMATIC x Nichetto Color Wheel motif. The watch is powered by a Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1 and fitted with a black padded deer leather strap.
