One of my hobbies is making watches.
I’ve been a big fan of Unimatic for a while and I really like this new Todd Snyder collab.
Probably not going to buy it, but because they posted a parts list, I can basically make this myself.
Tempting.
Parts list below--
Brushed black dive watch case. $29~
note: the spec sheet listed the crown separately but the cases come with them so not going to do a sepate part listing for that.
This dial has a date window, which the reference doesn't have. Could probably find one without if I wanted to dig but this is good enough for now.
$15 dial
I *know* that I've seen these hands before but I can't find them. Regardless, you can rebuild them in the aggregate.
$4 hands with about $2.40 more for the extra GMT hand.
They went with a custom engraved caseback (which I'm obviously not going to do), so picked out a random generic silver caseback for illustrative purposes.
$6
Here's an NH34A movement.
These used to be $25-30~. Now because of tarriffs they're quickly approaching $100 a pop.
This is single-handedly killing this hobby.
$90
Case movement holder - $1
Gasket - $3 for 200pcs
The strap is actually a little hard to match because there are literally thousands of options online but I think this is pretty similar.
Black suede leather watch strap with black hardware and quick release.
$6
Parts Spec:
Case: $29
Dial: $15
Hands: $6
Caseback $6
Movement $90
Strap $6
Misc Parts: $4
So that brings the DIY version of this watch to about $156. Though it's worth noting that before the tariff era, this would probably be about $90-100 total.
Fun little hobby.
