MLB features an all black dial, with a black-on-black “ghost" signature to maximize the legibility of its luminous indices. Like the “Bund” of the 1970s, the dial of the MLB is characterized by a large, distinct orange minute hand to differentiate it from the hour hand.

OLD SCHOOL BY MASSENA LAB AND LUCA SOPRANA


2021

Our first collaboration with independent watchmaker Luca Soprana, Old School is a concept watch based on the montre d’école.

Translating literally to “school watch”, a montre d'école is crafted by an apprentice watchmaker at the conclusion of their studies. Some are so elaborate that they require years of work to complete, and the most talented apprentices create their own movements. It is this attention to detail, dedication, and savoir-faire that is the essence of Old School.

ERWIN LAB02


2020

On its dial, the ERWIN LAB02 is a simple, three hand timepiece with a contrast silver and rose gold sector dial. The 38.5 mm stainless steel case is polished with a step bezel that frames a sector dial that recalls the legendary sector dials from the 1930s.

The sector dial is divided into four concentric segments. The markings are a deep midnight blue and numerals of each segment are raised and finished in rhodium for depth.

Another particularity of the dial is that the outer railway five-minute divisions are perfectly aligned with the jumping seconds hand. The feuille hands are also rhodium finished. Altogether, the contrast of the rhodium elements against the rose gold and silver dial results in excellent legibility.


T-REX Bronze


2020

Straddling time from the ancient to the immediate, T-Rex Bronze creates a harmonious balance between mechanical and organic forms.

This model switches out the original steel for bronze, the copper alloy whose mastery amounted to a technological revolution so immense that it ushered in a new age of early civilization.

The feet of the T-Rex Bronze are aged to create an earthy brown patina, and the entire bronze structure is oxidized by hand to “lock in time” its color and the unique characteristics of the material.

This individual patination and stabilization means that no two clocks are alike.


U1-ML6


2020

Born from the idea of “What would a UNIMATIC watch from the 1950s look like today,” the U1-ML6 began as a conversation between the two companies on how to create a high-quality wristwatch that felt modern and incorporated vintage touchpoints, while not relying on nostalgia alone. Housed inside the 41.5mm stainless steel case of the U1-ML6 is the automatic caliber Seiko NH35A 21600bph, with a power reserve of 41 hours.

The watch features a classic black bezel with a red triangle, reminiscent of the Rolex 6538, made famous by Sean Connery as James Bond in Goldfinger. The 15-minute marker on the bezel is the first time that UNIMATIC has featured it on one of its watches.


ERWIN LAB01


2018

On its dial, the ERWIN LAB01 is a simple, three hand timepiece with a deep black sector dial. The 38.5 mm bronze case is polished with a concave bezel that frames a sector dial the that recalls the legendary sector dials from the 1930s.

The sector dial is divided into four concentric segments. The markings and numerals of each segment are raised and finished in gold for depth.

Another particularity of the dial is that the outer railway five-minute divisions are perfectly aligned with the jumping seconds hand. The feuille hands are finished in gold. Altogether, the high contrast of the gold elements against the deep black dial results in optimal legibility.
