UNIMATIC has unveiled the Modello Cinque UT5-TANC, developed in collaboration with British designer Nigel Cabourn and The Armoury. This release marks a continuation of UNIMATIC’s 2019 partnership with Cabourn, which was originally inspired by the historic Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Embracing a philosophy of “exploration over ornament,” the UT5-TANC is designed as a modern expedition tool, prioritizing rugged functionality and a military-inspired aesthetic over fashion-forward trends.
Arriving in a 36mm Modello Cinque case, which is chosen specifically for its balance and wearability in demanding environments, the watch features a stainless steel build finished with a specialized stonewashed Cerakote™ coating – available in either green (UT5-TANC-A) or navy blue (UT5-TANC-B) – which provides exceptional durability. A distinctive “dazzle camouflage” design can be spotted on the caseback, while inside, it’s powered by a high-accuracy Seiko VH31 quartz movement.
Scheduled for release today via UNIMATIC and The Armoury, the Modello Cinque UT5-TANC is a limited edition, with only 150 individually numbered pieces available for each of the two colorways. Priced at €660 EUR (approx. $766 USD), each watch comes with a custom travel pouch, complete with a two-piece nylon strap featuring hardware that matches the case’s Cerakot finish.
