New Build Unimatic U2H custom.


Buddhabar

Recommended Posts

Hi guys...here I am. 
I finished this Unimatic U2H inspired watch a few days ago. I didn't stay faithful to the model, but I wanted to customize the dial with my logo (now also used on other builds) and then instead of using the usual hands, I used those of the legendary Rolex California ref. 2940. 
The dial has the peculiarity of changing appearance based on exposure to light. I also colored the hands to match the lume of the indexes. The movement is a low-beat 21jewel NH35 by TMI seiko. 
Another peculiarity: I wanted to customize the edges of the lugs, filing those protrusions typical of that case. 
Enjoy the viewing:

Definitely this watch has minimal and simplistic look, but doesn’t remind me of a bauhaus style.  I like it, easy to read, but doesn’t stand out enough for me to buy, not at over $400.  Nice review.

Thanks for reporting your impressions. Kind of you. Indeed the watch has a minimalist style. Just to understand the difference here is the Unimatic U2H:
