UTS - 4000 PROFESSIONAL FirstLook

The new UTS 4000 Professional may not be much of a departure from its sibling the UTS 3000M Dive Watch. The overall design of the watch hasn't really changed. It has the same basic case design that is fabricated from a solid block of German stainless steel by Nicolaus Spinner, the same bezel design and the same UTS trademark detachable lug design. It also incorporates all existing UTS technologies such as their proprietary bidirectional rotating bezel, which locks via a unique ceramic ball bearing system. It looks pretty much the same, too! Which is just fine with me, because, as the old saying goes 'if ain't broke, don't fix it'!







































However, there was nothing about a little tweaking in that adage, nor of beefing up case size or increasing water-resistance. The new UTS 4000 Professional takes every thing up a notch or two. The case diameter gets a 2mm increase from 43mm to 45mm, the crystal thickness is increased by 1mm to 6mm; this allows for an increase of 1000m of water-resistance from 3000m to 4000m. Even the size of dial markers appear to have been beefed up, which should allow for a brighter lume application. Basically it's the watch I have been waiting for UTS to build for several years, now and it's finally here. Stay tuned for more . . .
