Modello Uno ref. U1S-FAI is a Made in Italy slim diving watch made in support of FAI – Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano (the National Trust for Italy).

It features a FAI green aluminium minimal diver insert with raised lume dot matching with hand-applied Super-LumiNova® C1 white on the galvanic black dive dial.

Time is displayed thanks to the matching phantom ladder hands set and the reverse lollipop second hand with Super-LumiNova® C1 white tip. The double domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal provides the best performance in every light condition.

The thin solid 316 brushed stainless steel case, the screwed-in 2 mm thick caseback, the 8 mm diameter crown together with the high quality gaskets set provide a water resistance tested individually to 30 atm=300m=1000ft. Timing accuracy is guaranteed by the automatic caliber Sellita SW200-1 movement tuned to 28,800bph with 38h power reserve and hacking second hand.

It comes on a black two-piece calf leather strap with stainless steel brushed hardware signed UNIMATIC and an extra FAI green NATO strap with FAI orange nylon keeper. The caseback features the “Unimatic sostiene FAI” engraving and the individual progressive number. The watch is covered by a 24-month worldwide warranty and is part of a unique edition of 200 pieces.

DOWNLOAD SPECS

 

The slim Modello Uno U1S-FAI is a Made in Italy professional diving watch that belongs to a limited edition of 200 individually numbered pieces.

 

This special collaboration piece features a true silver gilt dial which is a traditional artisanal process used from the 1950s through the mid-1960s.
Black paint is galvanically applied preserving the logo area so that it negatively reveals the underlying material. The galvanisation process inevitably produces very slightly different resulting tones which makes every dial unique. Roughly 1 out of 5 dials are chosen and make it to the next step of the process.
After carefully picking the right dials the next step would be to apply the lume. Staying true to the old traditional techniques, Super-LumiNova® is applied by hand by a skilled craftsman with a small brush. Small imperfections are not attributed to a manufacturing flaw but to the uniqueness and quality of a dial which is entirely handmade.
