MING 37.09 Uni

Price Tier N/A

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 – its 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 tunas more exotic oceanmate in the form of the 37.09 Uni. Those whove seen a sea urchin in the wild or at the market will know its 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, theyve been found all over the world from the surface to the deep hadalpelagic zone below 6000m. Lets 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 thats cleverly engineered
