Unimatic and Hodinkee Reimagine Two Modello Watches in Forged Carbon Fiber
With only 250 pieces available each.
Collaborating for the second time, Hodinkee and Unimatic have revealed two new Modello references reimagined in forged carbon fiber cases. The drop comprises the Modello Quattro U4S-C-H and Modello Uno U1S-C-GMT-H, each available in a limited run of 250 pieces.
Measuring 40mm in diameter, the two watches are touted to weigh around 45% lighter thanks to the incredibly robust and lightweight forged carbon material. Boasting a thin construction, the matte-finished case features a swirl-like pattern that is unique for every piece.
Priced at $2,200 USD, the Modello Quattro U4S-C-H stars an asphalt gray dial with Super-LumiNova® C1 white indices. Powering the time-teller inside is the Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1-b caliber, which offers 38 hours of running time, topped with 300 meters of water resistance. Aligning with its color palette, the watch is paired with a TPU two-piece strap in a tonal gray hue.
With a price point of $2,900 USD, the Modello Uno U1S-Carbon GMT-H runs on the ETA 2893-2 automatic caliber that’s geared with GMT function. Beating a frequency of 28,800vph, the reference is also capable of withstanding up to 300 meters underwater, complete with a 42-hour power reserve. Its dial, bezel, and TPU strap all come in a matte black. In addition, the outer case is outfitted with a titanium inner case for added durability.
Now available for purchase, both timepieces are exclusively sold at the Hodinkee Shop. To read more about the two models’ specs, head over to Unimatic’s official website.
