Unimatic x Royal Enfield Modello Quattro UH-RE
In a blend of horology and motorsport craftsmanship, Unimatic and motorcycle brand Royal Enfield have teamed up to unveil the Modello Quattro U4-RE, a limited-edition timepiece — created to celebrate Royal Enfield’s nearly century and a quarter-long heritage. To this end, the edition is limited to just 122 examples, one for every year of manufacturing by the iconic motorcycle maker.
The Modello Quattro U4-RE is designed to act as a symbol of the enduring spirit of adventure and craftsmanship that both Unimatic and Royal Enfield embody. Made in Italy, the military-inspired watch boasts a glossy black dive dial adorned with the bright red Royal Enfield logo, set against markers filled with Super-LumiNova GL old radium lume and accented with gold metallic elements, a nod to the classic golden pinstripes of Royal Enfield’s motorcycles.
Powering the watch is the Seiko NH35A automatic movement, providing reliability with a 41-hour power reserve and a hacking second hand. A standout feature is the 40mm stainless steel case with a heavy sandblasted finish, inspired by the textured surface of Royal Enfield’s engines.
The watch comes with both a black heavy-duty nylon NATO band and an additional cognac two-piece calf leather strap, each featuring black DLC brushed hardware with Unimatic branding. At the case back, wearers will find Royal Enfield’s slogan, “Made like a gun” and each piece’s unique serial number engraved.

History of Unimatic Watches
Founded in 2015 by Giovanni Moro and Simone Nunziato, UNIMATIC has quickly risen as an innovative force in horology, blending minimalist design with robust functionality. The two met at the Politecnico di Milano and shared a passion for vintage Seiko watches. Despite following different career paths initially, their continued dialogue about watches led to the creation of UNIMATIC. Starting as a side project, their first limited run of 300 pieces gained significant exposure when Colette in Paris began carrying their products. A pivotal article by Hodinkee further catalyzed UNIMATIC's transformation from a hobby into a serious business.
UNIMATIC's philosophy centers on functional minimalism, stripping away unnecessary elements to focus on essential design and functionality. Each watch is pressure-tested to withstand depths of 300 meters, exemplifying their commitment to durability. The brand's collaborative approach between Moro and Nunziato has resulted in a cohesive design language, emphasizing refinement and functionality over decoration. UNIMATIC has grown organically, relying on word-of-mouth and strong designs rather than traditional marketing. Their commitment to Italian craftsmanship and local production has positioned them at the forefront of a new era in Italian watchmaking. As they continue to evolve, UNIMATIC remains a unique and influential player in the watch industry.
