Story & Heritage

Unitas is one of the important names in Swiss watchmaking history, especially appreciated for robust and reliable mechanical movements. The brand became closely connected with Auguste Reymond, the founder of A. Reymond Ltd, a Swiss watch company known for producing quality watches and movements during the golden age of mechanical horology.

This watch reflects that historical collaboration perfectly. The dial proudly carries the Unitas Extra name, while the case back is signed A. Reymond Ltd Swiss, linking the watch to the heritage of Auguste Reymond’s manufacturing tradition. Together, these details make the piece more interesting for collectors who appreciate not only design, but also the industrial history behind Swiss watchmaking.

With its elegant 36 mm case, small seconds layout, warm patinated silver dial and signed mechanical movement, this Unitas Extra is a beautiful example of mid-century Swiss craftsmanship with authentic vintage character.
