About this entry

Skeletonised Swiss ETA 6498-2 (Unitas) hand-wound caliber, which Waldhoff says it disassembles, 3D-scans, CNC-machines and reassembles, in a grade 5 titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) case and bracelet. Movement as listed: 21,600 vph, 17 jewels, Etachron regulation, Incabloc, 50 to 53 hours, hours, minutes and small seconds at 6. Brand specs: 43mm, 49mm lug-to-lug, 11.5mm thick (crystal not mentioned), 50m, Swiss sapphire with AR coating (side not stated), exhibition back, metallic dial with applied indices, diamond-cut hands with Swiss TriTec lume; titanium bracelet with friction pins, or calf leather with a deployant clasp (one price; photos show the bracelet). Strap width is given as 20mm for leather and 22mm for the titanium bracelet, so lug width is left blank. Weight 100.5 g (not stated what was weighed; the same figure appears on the Ultramatic listings, so it may be carried over). Black and Royal Blue have dark-grey- and blue-coated cases and bracelets (photos). Carbon Silver, Black, Cobalt and Royal Blue were orderable on 31 October 2026 with 'back in stock and ship from DECEMBER 2026', so they are recorded as pre-order.
