The highest Quality Diver's Watch at a very affordable price. Precision made timepieces that will surprise you with its affordability
Unit 7 was created as a collaboration between a few individuals (7 to be exact). We are a combination of Collectors, Designers, Watch Engineers, Supply Chain/Manufacturing Experts and Brand Operators. With a combined knowledge of over 20 years in the watch industry. We have combined forces to bring you a new brand; The Unit 7. To celebrate our launch and our first model, we are offering our first model at an unbelievable price.
There is a unlimited supply of Kickstarter offerings. Some turn out to be a gamble, you just never know what you will get. At Unit 7, we have done it before, we know the industry. Our manufacturing partners are tried and tested so you are assured what you see is what you get.
The Movement
The heart of the Carbon features a Miyota Cal.8215 movement made by Citizen in Japan. This particular movement has proven itself time and time again to be a highly accurate and reliable work horse.
Case
The Unit 7 Diver is made of full Stainless Steel. We have spent a lot of time perfecting the design and quality. We have spent our time in getting every single detail right.
Dial and Crystal
The Unit 7 features a scratch resistant Sapphire Crystal. On the underside of the Crystal is a anti-reflective coating. The Dial was designed to be simple, clear and legit able under all situations (even in the Dark!).
*We use Super-LumiNova C3 Lume for extra low light visibility
Strap
The Unit 7 will ship with a high-quality ventilated rubber strap.

Where are we now
We have spent close to a year designing and developing the new range of Unit 7 Divers. After several prototypes and revisions, we can now say we are very happy with how the Unit 7 watches turned out. We have finalized all the designs, the engineering and prototyping has been completed. Our Manufacturing partners and suppliers lined up and are on standby. We have completed all the sampling with our own funds, now we need your help to purchase all the raw materials and to help with the high manufacturing costs.

Tempest Watches was started in 2010. The brand was created at a time when everyone was using the same generic cases with slight variations to the dials. We knew we could do better. Our mantra was simple, to create time pieces that were not only high in quality but original in design. Since our inception, we have since introduced 3 highly acclaimed watches into the market, the Viking, the Commodore and the Tempest Carbon.
