Since everything else is quite familiar, the interest lies all in the dial here. Those solid blocks of lume rest on a deep, glossy black dial, seemingly suspended in a dark expanse. Unimatic calls this a matte dial, but it’s really quite glossy in person and catches interesting reflections of the handset and markers at an angle. For a watch with a deeply sunken dial and pronounced rehaut, three-dimensional indices could not feel more at home.
Printed and highly textured metallic silver outlines surround the markers, and the dial features a matching seconds track and logo print. The lume performed well during the time I spent with the watch, though visually there was one drawback to the markers—an inconsistent color match between the markers and the lume on the handset, with the handset giving off a colder white than the warmer markers. It is a bit distracting, and I hope that there will be less of a difference on future models.
