Why it is interesting

An unusual instance of a serious diver becoming an experiment in displaying as little information as possible.

Things to consider

Removing hour markers compromises instant time reading; 600-metre water resistance does not change that.

The model in detail

The ICON capsule reported on October 12 takes UNIMATIC's minimalism to a black dial without hour markers. The titanium Modello Uno U1S-T-ICON receives luminous skeleton hands and a minimally marked ceramic bezel.

The Grade 2 case measures 40 mm, or 41.5 mm across the bezel. Its automatic Sellita SW200-1 b provides at least 38 hours of reserve, typically around 41. This version is limited to 99 pieces at €1,900; the official preorder page specifies shipping on November 10, 2026.
