The Watch
Here we have a 2023 Unworn Unimatic x South Park U1-EC Limited to 100 a collaboration between Unimatic and South Park created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, an adult-themed animated series based in an obnoxious primary school in Colorado near the Rocky Mountains in the US that follows four characters, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick and was first aired on TV in 1997. A 41mm brushed stainless steel case that curves over your wrist with thick tapered lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 48.5mm and a case thickness of 14mm ensures a comfortable fit. On the right side a screw-down crown protected by crown guards, the unidirectional bezel has a black aluminium sterile insert with the characteristic lume pip at 12 o’clock holding a double domed sapphire crystal AR coating on the inside above a matte white dial with the multi-coloured printed character from South Park Eric Cartman in his turquoise beanie. An outer minute track is precisely executed with turquoise disc and baton indexes marking the hours coated in Super- LumiNova C9 and slender sword hands are infilled with the same Super- LumiNova C9 complemented by a lollipop counterbalance sweeping second hand. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the characters from South Park etched across the centre and the watch's specification etched around its edge, inside an automatic Seiko Cal. NH35A, 24 jewels, beating at 21,600 beats per hour, this workhorse movement has hand winding and hacking seconds. The watch comes fitted on its 22mm Turquoise Nubuck leather strap with a signed brushed stainless steel buckle plus an additional black 22mm nylon NATO strap with a signed brushed stainless steel buckle in the box and the watch comes with its Unimatic strong pelican case and paperwork.
Personal Note
Unimatic has done some interesting and different collaborations over the years, some incredibly refinished and simple and others... Well, this falls into the camp of "others"! I'd say this will either be something super fun that you want to own, or you think it is hideous and wish to avoid, that is all part of the fun of watches like this that Unimatic produce and why I am personally a fan of them.
The Brand
Made in Italy Unimatic was founded by Giovanni Moro and Simone Nunziato, who were both trained as industrial designers at “Politecnico di Milano” where they shared a common interest and passion in wristwatches. They started Unimatic in 2015 with their first product “Modello Uno”. Each piece is unique and hand-manufactured in Milano, Italy.
