2020s Studio Underd0g Series 01 Mint Ch0c Chip Chronograph

Here we have a 2020s Studio Underd0g Series 01 Mint Ch0c Chip Chronograph with a 38.5mm polished and brushed stainless steel case. The elegant, tapered curved lugs have a lug-to-lug length of 44.5mm and a case thickness of 13mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side are a signed crown and the square chronograph pushers. The bevel-edged polished smooth bezel holds a double-domed sapphire crystal above the striking Mint Ch0c Chip dial. Made up of 2 layers: a satin sandblasted base layer and a coarse-textured Mint green centre layer that graduates from a pale green in the centre to a darker green outer edge. An outer Tachymetre is precisely printed against the tan-coloured layer.  The hour indexes are flakes of Ch0c Chip; at 3 o’clock, a large 30-minute register made up of varied hues of tan-coloured segments and an orange-tipped hand; at 9 o’clock, the small second register in Mint green with a concentric circular pattern. The slender sword hands are filled with Super-LumiNova, complemented by an orange-tipped chronograph hand. Text is precisely applied with the bold Studio Underd0g motif sitting proudly off-centre. The combination of colour and textures makes this Bi-Compax a pleasure to wear. On the reverse, is a screw-down exhibition sapphire crystal case back. Inside a manually wound Seagul ST-1901 is a true workhorse of a movement that uses the technical drawings of the Swiss Venus calibre 175, but is made in China. Its simplicity in decoration adds interest both front and back to this watch. It comes paired with its original 20mm leather vintage-style strap. Comes with its Studio Underd0g presentation box and papers.

This watch is sold with its original Studio Underd0g box and paperwork. It comes paired with its original 20mm vintage-style strap. The watch is from Circa. 2021 and is in worn condition, but overall, it is in very fair condition, as you can see from the photos. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

As the proud owner of multiple Studio Underd0g Series 1 chronographs, plus one of these Mint Ch0c Chips, it will come as no surprise that I think that they are fantastic, offer great value and provide a smile when you check the time, what more could you want? Powered by the Seagull ST19, you are getting a mechanical chronograph at similar prices to what some brands charge for meca-quartz. I wouldn't hesitate to snap this up and add it to your collection today, especially at this price!

Richard Benc, the founder of Studio Underd0g, studied product design at the University of Nottingham. He then began working in the watch industry for over five years, where he worked on many designs. The concept of the brand, Studio Underd0g, was founded in March 2020 whilst the UK was still under lockdown due to COVID-19. A funky design and colour combination was the way to go. The brand was officially launched in March 2021. The brand name came about as he saw himself as a small fish in a large sea with much bigger ideas and aspirations. He replaced the small “o” in Underdog with a “0”, which is now part of their brand identity. Inspired, he created a fun and playful watch, using colour, texture and design cues to create a design that stands out from the crowd. Releasing three series of watches as well as some special additions, each with its own unique design. 01 Series is a selection of two pusher chronographs with quirky colourful dials, 02 Series is a selection of colourful lumed dial, field-style watches, and 03 Series is monopusher chronographs. The special additions include collaborations with brands such as Moser & Cie and Fears, partnerships with Perpétuel Gallery Dubai and Andrew McUtchen, and multiple models and unique pieces sold, with proceeds going to various charity organisations. These watches are assembled in the UK and, working together with British companies, The Strap Tailor and Horologium, and Studio Underd0gs, are assembled in the UK.
