360 Protection system
The 360° protection system is designed in-house and made in Italy to the highest standards. It is realised in a special blend of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material.
MIL-STD-810 Drop Test
U.S. MIL-STD-810 is a United States Military Standard that emphasises tailoring an equipment’s environmental design and test limits to the conditions that it will experience throughout its service life, and establishing chamber test methods that replicate the effects of environments on the equipment rather than imitating the environments themselves.

Advanced materials and dial treatments
From the 1950s into the 1960s, many brands produced gilt dials for their timepieces. Most commonly associated with dark dials and gold-hued text that give the watch a warm and unmistakably vintage look.
A “true” gilt is defined by the time-intensive process that exposes the underlying metal of the dial in negative relief. Producing a “true” gilt dial is an intensive process. First, the blank brass is highly polished to a mirror finish. Then, the desired design — text, name, logo, markers — is printed or stamped with a special clear coating. Then, the paint is galvanically applied to the dial; the applied clear coating prevents this paint from binding to those parts of the dial. Given the nature of the process each dial gets a different intensity in colour.
Norwegian rain’s dial treatment is one of it’s kind where the brass plate is oxidised with the help of salt and ammonia. The outcome is a truly unique one of a kind result which represent perfectly the intent of both brands of highlighting and encapsulating the time passing by that affects us and our objects.

Design as a tool
Using only one font design in the watch face can enhance clarity in all light conditions by providing a consistent and unified look. Some pros of using only one font design include:
Consistency: Using a single font design throughout the watch face can create a cohesive and consistent look, making it easier for the viewer to quickly and easily read the time.
Legibility: Using a single font design can make it easier to read the time, especially in low light conditions. A consistent font design can also make it easier for the viewer to quickly recognize the time, even at a glance.
Brand Identity: Using a single font design can also help to create a unique brand identity for the watch. A consistent font design can be associated with the brand, making it easy for the viewer to recognize the watch as a specific brand.
Simplicity: Using a single font design can make the watch face look simple and easy to read, which is important for a device that’s main function is telling time.
Flexibility: Using a single font design can also make it easier to adapt the watch face to different dial sizes and different font applications
By using only one font design in the watch face, a designer can create a watch face that is easy to read, consistent and has a strong brand identity.
The UNIMATIC number typefaces reference this traditional lettering found on such classics of military watch making. Yet they combine this with more recent examples of watch typography as found in the most famous recent watches. These rather modern and geometric number styles reference a Bauhaus and German »DIN-Norm« aesthetic: Perfectly round inner forms with almost no line contrast. By using the most basic geometric forms such as circles and straight angles these kind of typefaces feel very familiar and established therefore emanating clarity and reliability.
