UMI Factory has raised the bar in the watch industry with its latest release, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 series. This timepiece is engineered to mirror the authentic model's weight of 194 grams, a feat that many competitors have failed to achieve while maintaining the ultra-thin profile of 8.7mm case thickness and 2.5mm strap thickness. The collection includes references 5712/1R-001, 5712R-001, 5712G-001, 5724R-001, and 5724G-001, each designed to replicate the original's specifications down to the 25 links on the side.

Revolutionary Copper-Free Tungsten Alloy

The key innovation lies in the case material. Unlike typical tungsten-copper alloys that require a steel coating to facilitate gold plating, UMI Factory has developed a copper-free tungsten steel alloy. This eliminates the common issue of flaking and peeling caused by the mismatch between steel layers and tungsten-copper, as well as the oxidation from copper content. The hardness of this alloy posed significant machining challenges, prompting the factory to invest in five-axis CNC machines and manual polishing by skilled artisans to ensure precision in every component, especially the bracelet links.

Gold Plating and Swiss PVD Coating

After shaping, each part undergoes an electroplating nickel process to create an anti-oxidation base layer, similar to the plating used in Swiss movements. This is followed by a true gold plating application that wraps every joint seamlessly, ensuring no exposed white metal. The final step is a Swiss PVD coating, a technique used by renowned brands like Longines, which adds a hard, transparent protective film to delay wear. This combination allows UMI to offer a three-year guarantee against color fading, a bold promise backed by the inclusion of a gold content detection certificate with each watch.

Movement: Super Integrated Cal. 240 PS IRM C LU

The houses a super integrated Cal. 240 PS IRM C LU movement with 265 components, featuring an ultra-thin planar hairspring and a frequency of 21,600 oscillations per hour. This movement is not a mere cosmetic mimicry; it delivers genuine functionality, including a true lunar phase, calendar, small seconds, power reserve display, and dual quick adjustment buttons. All parameters align with the original 240 movement, offering a level of authenticity that surpasses common fake movement covers or decorative arbor techniques.

Strap, Dial, and Case Refinements

The bracelet and clasp have been redesigned for comfort and precision. The logo is deeply engraved, and the clasp features an expandable, adjustable mechanism developed from the original Patek Philippe hinge structure. The rotating head pin angle matches the genuine, and the clasp produces a distinct sound when opened and closed. The iconic beak-shaped case and the real center axis of the hands have been meticulously replicated. A custom gradient brown dial transitions from black to brown at the edges under different lighting conditions, paired with a sapphire glass gilded moon phase dial. These details culminate in a masterpiece that stands as the pinnacle of craftsmanship.
