Unimatic dips back into nautical nonsense with a pair of new SpongeBob SquarePants U1 dive watches dedicated to the cartoon character.  The watches represent a lighthearted approach to the very serious dive watch that is the Modello Uno U1, the likes of which we?ve seen once before in the U1-SS SpongeBob Squarepants LE released last October. We are treated to two versions in this release, one in the yellow you?d expect from such a watch, and the other in a stylish black execution.

The two watches are meant to coincide with the release of the new SpongeBob movie, Sponge On The Run, which was released to Netflix earlier this month for most markets, and will come to US and Candadian homes at some point in 2021.
