What to know
Few watches communicate Studio Underd0g’s playful approach as clearly as Watermel0n. The third-generation 01SERIES chronograph combines a saturated red centre with bright green accents, making a fruit-inspired palette feel unexpectedly at home in a vintage racing-watch silhouette. Asymmetric sub-dial sizes and a finely detailed tachymeter keep the composition interesting beyond the first glance.
The 38.5mm steel case is now 12.9mm thick, slimmer than its predecessor, with sapphire crystal, an enlarged exhibition back and 50-metre water resistance. Inside, the hand-wound Seagull ST-1901B is exclusive to Studio Underd0g, with black main plate, swan-neck regulator and a stated 50-hour reserve with the chronograph stopped. Each watch is assembled in Great Britain. Listed at £600, this is an existing core collection model, not a newly announced October launch.
