UNIMATIC Gives Four Swiss-Made Models a Truffle-Season Palette in the Langhe Collection

UNIMATIC is a Milan brand that makes minimalist tool watches with sterile dials and plain steel cases. Its catalog is built on four core models, the Modello Uno, Due, Quattro and Cinque. The Langhe Collection is the brand’s end-of-2026 release: all four Swiss-made models in colors taken from autumn truffle season in the Langhe, the Piedmont hills around Alba. Each of the 12 combinations is limited to 200 pieces, and they look great.

All four cases are mostly brushed steel with screw-down crowns, with flat or domed sapphire depending on the model, and 300 meters of water resistance. The Modello Uno U1S is the classic: a 40mm diver with a unidirectional bezel and a colored aluminum insert. The Modello Due U2S is 38mm wide with a solid steel bezel. The Modello Quattro U4S is also 40mm and has the strangest case shape of the four. The Modello Cinque U5S is the smallest at 36mm.

The dials follow the house rules. Time only, central seconds, painted Super-LumiNova markers and no text cluttering things up. The dials come in three colors: Fog (gray), Moss (green) and Truffle (brown), and they all have a very earthy, but bright feel to them. It might be the fantastic photography they did with this collection, but this just might be my favorite UNIMATIC watches to date.

Every model uses the Sellita SW200-1b, an automatic running at 4Hz with a power reserve of about 38 hours. These sit at the top of UNIMATIC’s range; as the cheaper models use Japanese movements. The caseback is solid steel with a Langhe engraving. Straps are made out of “Fumo” deerskin in the matching color, 22mm wide.

The UNIMATIC Langhe Collection is available now, with each of the 12 references is limited to 200 pieces, 2,400 watches in total. The Modello Uno U1S is priced at $1,240, while the Modello Due U2S, Modello Quattro U4S and Modello Cinque U5S are $1,120 each. See more on the UNIMATIC website.
