Sea urchin, or uni in Japanese, has morphed from a prosaic necessity into a highly sought after delicacy.

It also remains a largely acquired taste – it’s briny, sweet, and a little funky with a blast of umami that contrasts with its buttery softness. It is usually served in a gunkan-maki – over rice, wrapped in seaweed to keep it all together – and seasonings are minimal to give center stage to the sweetness of the uni.

At MING and like many connoisseurs, we love sushi as evidenced by the naming of our GPHG award winning, 37.09 Bluefin. So when expanding our dive watch collection, we decided to serve up a portion of tuna’s more exotic oceanmate in the form of the 37.09 Uni.

Those who’ve seen a sea urchin in the wild or at the market will know it’s best thought of as durable: it has a hard black shell, toxic spines, and guards its glistening orange treasures jealously. Though they are primarily reliant on currents to help them move, they’ve been found all over the world from the surface to the deep hadalpelagic zone below 6000m. Let’s just say they are deep divers.

Like their namesake, our 37.09 Uni is a black-DLC armored dive watch with orange highlights, and an inspiration or two from its namesake. We enjoy it as a palate cleansing break from the rest of the collection but remain confident in its survival abilities thanks to its 38mm DLC- coated case that’s cleverly engineered, ensuring pressure balancing and water resistance to 600m with a sapphire caseback. Like the Bluefin, it has a rotating sapphire timing dial that can be operated underwater.

The Uni introduces a new design for the hour indices, carries an abundance of Super- LumiNova on the dial, top crystal and hands, and is the first MING to have orange emission Super-LumiNova – to echo its namesake. Ensuring optimal reliability is an automatic Sellita for MING SW300.M1 in a unique finish.
