Description
Though separated by 175 years, Studio Underd0g and Fears represent two distinct yet complementary facets of British watchmaking - heritage and innovation.
The 02SERIES Gimlet’s 38mm 316L cushion-shaped case, inspired by the Fears Brunswick, is characterised by soft, rounded edges and elegant curves, offering a vintage feel while maintaining contemporary appeal and functionality. Housed within is a movement that is as reliable as ones favourite bartender: the Manual Winding Swiss Sellita SW210-1.
The pale green gradient dial has been achieved by using current-day machining techniques and modern materials. It is made up of a base dial featuring 7 layers of custom-made Super-LumiNova pigment. Mounted on top of the base dial, is a 1mm sapphire disc, atop is adorned with the co-branding, minute track and Arabic numerals are printed. Once these two dials are affixed to one another via two slotted head pins, it creates a crisp dial with a silky depth, akin to its namesake.
In daylight, the printing details appear to float, casting a shadow on the lower base dial. As the watch moves around in relation to the light source, the shadows move accordingly, resulting in a dynamic and ever-changing appearance. In darkness, the printing details are backlit by the bright Super-LumiNova base dial and appear to be totally disconnected from any surface.
