When Italian precision meets New York style, the result is a timepiece that is both useful, durable, and dangerously attractive. The Unimatic x Todd Snyder Modello Quattro U4 GMT is more than just a watch—it's a postcard from Milan, delivered straight to your wrist.
Watches often remain caught between utility and aesthetics, a new collaborative collection Unimatic x Todd Snyder Modello Quattro U4 GMT elegantly walks that fine line – and crosses it with a smile. Following the success of their first joint edition – a sold-out chronograph Model Three from March 2025 – the Italian design purists and the American master of menswear return with a new piece aimed at global explorers and style perfectionists.
Model Model Quattro U4 GMT, otherwise known for its robust geometry and uncompromising usability, this time comes in two distinctly contrasting versions – the elegant “Day” and the mysterious “Night”.
Design: less is more... but more fashionable
At first glance, it all seems quite minimalistic. And that's where the charm lies. Unimatic has done away with the laser-engraved bezels and complications, instead discreetly moving the GMT functionality to the outer edge of the dial. At the center remains the recognizable Bauhaus-style typographic elements reminiscent of military watches – with one small twist: the 24-hour display, usually hidden inside, dominates this time.
The “Day” model shines in a cream dial with elegant black details, complemented by a brown suede strap. Its nighttime sister, the “Night”, goes all-in with matte black, white accents and a black strap, making the watch look like a prestigious spy with a strict dress code on the wrist. Both versions feature orange-finished GMT hands and a common signature dial, where Snyder’s name proudly sits alongside the Unimatic logo – at exactly six o’clock.
And just when you think you've seen it all: the hands and markers glow in green Super-LumiNova light so you don't miss the time or style at night.
From Milan to your wrist – Modello Quattro U4 GMT
Unlike previous versions of the U4-GMT, which boasted a titanium construction and a Swiss ETA movement, this version relies on Seiko automatic caliber NH34A. It's about you GMT, which means you can set the 24-hour hand independently – which comes in handy when adjusting to another time zone without messing up your local time.
The power reserve is 41 hours and the oscillation frequency is 21,600 vibrations per hour. And yes, despite the suede on the strap (which you'll probably want to replace before diving into the sea), the watch is fully ready for action with 300 meters of water resistance, thanks to the screw-down lid and sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
