The Watch
Here we have a 2023 Studio Underd0g Series 2 Full Mo0n Lume Dial with a brushed 37mm stainless steel case that gently curves over your wrist with tapered drilled lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 45.5mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm ensuring a comfortable fit. On the right side is a signed crown. A smooth polished bezel holds a domed sapphire crystal above a superbly crafted full-lume Super-LumiNova C3 off-white dial, the transparent sapphire disc sits above the dial plate secured by two screws, and an outer minute rail track surrounds Arabic numerals marking the hours, giving the impression they are floating above the dial. Slender baton hands filled with Super-LumiNova are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand, at 12 o’clock we have the Studio Underd0g motif and at 6 o’clock “Mechanical Hand Winding" completes this stunning field watch. On the reverse a screw-down case back with the details of the watch around its edge and an embossed jellyfish in the centre, inside a manually wound Sellita SW210-1, 19 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour. The watch comes paired with an 18mm Brown Epsom calfskin strap handmade by The Strap Tailor and a signed pin buckle, plus an 18mm NATO strap, and this watch is sold with its original Studio Underd0g box, travel case and paperwork.
Personal Note
Yet again Studio Underd0g releases another incredible watch that puts a smile on our face without breaking the bank. This is their Series 2, specifically the "Full Mo0n", featuring a full-lume dial which offers a subtle creamy tone during the day and a bright shine during the night. I would not hesitate to add one of these to your collection, they are a ton of fun and wear beautifully on the wrist.
The Brand
Richard Benc founded Studio Underd0g in March 2020 whilst still under lockdown due to COVID-19 in the UK. He had studied product design at the University of Nottingham. It was during this time that he started to imagine his own line of watches. Working in the watch industry for over 5 years he worked on many designs. Releasing his ideas online he began to gain confidence that a funky design and colour combination was the way to go. 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 watch that is both fun and playful, using colour, textures and design cues to create a design that stands out from the crowd. Releasing four models each with its own unique design and using a well-established Seagull ST-190 movement. Studio Underd0g was born with the watches selling on a pre-order basis, which was the only way Richard could afford to produce the watches. His next generation of watches will be assembled in the UK and he will be using UK-sourced suppliers and manufacturers such as David @thestraptailor.com.
