Unimatic Embraces Titanium In New Collab With Lorenzi In The Modello Due U2S-T-L
Unimatic is returning to their Model 2, or Modello Due, with some very welcome updates, not the least of which is a fully titanium case. As handsome as Unimatic?s field watch has always been, one consistent complaint about the watch has been its size (shape, really) and heft, creating a somewhat awkward experience on the wrist. This latest limited edition collaboration with Lorenzi addresses those issues not only with a lighter material, but also a thinner case. It wasn?t so much the numbers that were problematic, but rather the wearability. The U2S-T-L is a promising step in a new direction for the Model 2, and one that we hope to see more of.Â
The UNIMATIC x Lorenzi Modello Due ref. U2S-T-L features a deep green dial and keeps the design relatively simple. A horizontal hour bar resides at 6 o?clock, and all branding and labeling is relegated to the bottom half of the dial in favor of a sterile top section. It?s a straightforward design that maximizes legibility through stark white hands and hour plots, all filled with C1 lume.
The real story here is the new case, though. Just 99 examples of this collab have been produced and they will likely sell out quickly. However, the new case design and material are features we hope to see carried into future references of the Model 2. The titanium construction means a 31% lighter case, and the total thickness has been trimmed for 13.7mm to 11.6mm. These numbers represent a massive shift for this watch and place it firmly...
