Could the Pistonheads ghive mind help me.

I have been really taken with the design of this watch but I can’t for the life of me identify what it is.

I am getting Unimatic designs vibes but the letter ‘E’ on the top of the face (zoom in) throws me off. Plus, I can’t find a Unimatic white dial with black 5 minute markers.

The case material is also rather unique.

Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I just posted it on the watches sub-Reddit, if anyone can work out what it is, those guys will!
Thank you! I am not a big Reddit user but aware of its scale so I appreciate the help.

Maybe an extra clue for you: "Google lens" search for the original image brings back 'Hodinkee Unimatic'.

See a post here (a couple of pages down):

"WOW! Finally! The UNIMATIC Modello Uno U-1S 40.5mm in carbon fiber baby! Celebrating 15 years of Hodinkee! @benclymer @hodinkee @unimaticwatches #hodinkee #unimatic #unimaticwatches"
That's the one!!!

Makes sense as I found the image was the wrist of Ben Clymer of Hodinkee fame. It's all coming together.

I have a sneaky feeling this may be a commission piece!!
