The world of luxury watches just got a whole lot more exciting! Studio Underd0g, the fearless disruptor of the watch industry, has teamed up with the renowned collaboration maestro, Massena LAB, to create a masterpiece that will leave watch enthusiasts salivating.
But wait, there's a twist! This dynamic duo is serving up a unique blend of opulence and quirkiness with their limited-edition 03SERIES, aptly named 'Champagne & Caviar'. With only 200 pieces available, this watch is set to be a collector's dream.
The design is a feast for the eyes, inspired by the extravagance of champagne and caviar. The 'big-eye' monopusher chronograph boasts a caviar-textured subdial and a playful champagne bottle-shaped counterweight on the chronograph seconds hand. It's a subtle nod to the theme that will delight connoisseurs.
But here's where it gets interesting. This watch is not just about looks; it's a step up in refinement for Studio Underd0g. The case, at 38.5mm in diameter and 13.6mm thick, is slightly larger yet maintains a comfortable and versatile fit. The dial, the true star of the show, features a layered design with a textured surface in a champagne fumé that lightens towards the center, complemented by an inky green ring. And did you catch the hidden detail? The chronograph hand's counterweight is cleverly shaped like a champagne bottle, a subtle touch that showcases the brand's attention to detail.
The 03SERIES also boasts an upgraded movement, the Swiss-made Sellita SW510M calibre, a monopusher chronograph with a custom-decorated anthracite bridge. This movement is a beauty, both in performance and aesthetics, with a satisfying click and a 63-hour power reserve.
And now, the cherry on top. The Champagne & Caviar comes with a 20mm tapered calfskin leather strap, expertly crafted by the Strap Tailor, featuring quick-release spring bars and an engraved pin buckle. It's the perfect complement to this exquisite timepiece.
A word of caution, though: With a price tag of US$2,200, this watch is not for the faint-hearted. But for those who appreciate the unique blend of luxury and whimsy, it's a must-have. And with only 200 pieces available, you'll need to act fast!
