Don’t be fooled by the SP40 Restomod’s vintage aesthetic - this striking vehicle is a perfect blend of the old and the new. This restomod, an emerging line of vehicles that combine classic car elements with modern upgrades, brings the best of both eras into one luxurious package. This particular model from Iconic Auto Sports is a tribute to a unique period of automative history, drawing inspiration from the 1934 Edsel Special Speedster, designed by Edsel Ford, Henry Ford’s son. This legendary vehicle signalled a change in Ford’s design direction, shifting focus from pure functionality to incorporate a designer’s flair.
It’s been two years since Unimatic unveiled their “Toolwatch” collection. Now, the latest addition, the UT1-PD - a Pro-diver in its essence - has taken the spotlight. Although it might seem similar to previous releases, this is very much a watch unique unto itself. With a limited release of just 250 pieces, it’s set to become a coveted piece in any watch collector’s repertoire.
The UT1-PD distinguishes itself with a sandblasted stainless steel case of 40mm diameter (41.5mm including bezel overhang), and a 49mm lug-to-lug length. This design centrepiece isn’t all about aesthetics; it’s geared to serve as a highly functional diver’s companion. Adhering to stringent diver’s watch standards, it includes a 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel, offers 300m water resistance, and supports a screw-down crown. Unimatic didn’t compromise on movement, choosing the dependable Seiko VH31A quartz for precision and reliability.
