Wei Koh’s Revolution & The Rake have just unveiled the Unimatic × Revolution & The Rake Modello Uno GMT ‘Arctic Fox’. Revolution & The Rake magazines and Italian watch brand Unimatic have teamed up on a trilogy of collaborative limited editions, with the first of these – the Modello Uno GMT “Arctic Fox” – dropping on Wednesday, December 28th at 9am EST.
The ‘Arctic Fox’ is an all-white themed Uno GMT that draws inspiration from nature (snow camouflage is a survival strategy innate to animals like the Arctic owl, the Arctic fox, and polar bear), as well as the strictness of military uniforms and the idea of men’s fashion as an expression of positivity.
The timepiece features a white Cerakote surface treatment, a ceramic-based finish that is used as a typical application for firearms, high-performance cars, and even motorcycle parts, to enhance corrosion resistance, wear, and surface hardness. The 41.5mm timepiece features the screw-down crown, to offer a dive-worthy 300 meters of water resistance. The U1’s unidirectional bezel receives a coat of white Cerakote and a 24-hour bezel insert.
The dial is also white and uses Super-LumiNova with thin black surrounds for the hour plots for easy reading. Similarly, the GMT hand features a black border. The Unimatic × Revolution & The Rake Modello Uno GMT Arctic Fox is powered by a self-winding ETA caliber 2893-2 and provides a 42-hour power reserve. Included with the watch are three straps for the ‘Arctic Fox.’ First, a white snow camouflage NATO strap with steel keepers. Next, a white rubber strap, with a Cerakote white stonewashed pin buckle, and finally, a gray pixilated camouflage strap secured with a Cerakote white stonewashed pin buckle. Collectors will need to act quickly because a limited edition of 150 examples will be available.
