The Studio Underd0g Legacy and Context

Studio Underd0g emerged as a fresh voice in British independent watchmaking, combining playful design with serious horological execution. The Guacam0le represents a particularly clever moment in the brand’s history, a response to being copied by creating “The Unoriginals” collection. After discovering their designs had been homaged by brands producing knock-offs, Studio Underd0g decided to “pull an uno reverse card” and create their own playful interpretation.

Released exclusively during a 9-hour window on May 8, 2025, the Guacam0le demonstrates the brand’s commitment to limited production and community engagement. By assembling watches in Great Britain and undergoing full quality control inspection before shipping, Studio Underd0g ensures each piece meets exacting standards while maintaining the personality and charm that defines independent watchmaking at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Story Behind “The Unoriginals” Collection?

In January 2024, Studio Underd0g discovered they had been “homaged” by a brand producing copies of their designs with amusing names like “New PX1717 Watch of Mens Modify ST1902 Watermelon Dial.” Rather than pursuing legal action, Studio Underd0g consulted their community and decided to respond creatively by “homaging the homage,” creating The Unoriginals collection as a witty commentary on the replica watch industry.

This approach demonstrates the brand’s confidence and humour, turning what could have been a frustrating situation into an opportunity for creative expression. The Guacam0le, along with its sibling Av0cado, represents independent watchmaking’s ability to respond to challenges with innovation rather than litigation, creating genuinely desirable pieces that celebrate originality through playful subversion.

How Does the Limited Production Window Work?

The Guacam0le was available exclusively during a 9-hour window on May 8, 2025, from 3 pm to midnight BST. This unique approach to limited editions means production numbers were determined entirely by demand during this period rather than arbitrary limits. Once the window closed, no additional pieces would ever be produced, creating natural scarcity based on real collector interest.

The first 800 orders were scheduled for May 2025 delivery, demonstrating Studio Underd0g’s commitment to rapid fulfilment despite being a small independent brand. This production model rewards decisive collectors while ensuring each piece remains part of a genuinely limited run, adding to the watch’s collectability and storytelling value.

What Makes the ST-1901B Movement Significant?

The Seagull ST-1901B represents exceptional value in mechanical chronograph movements, being one of the few affordable column-wheel chronographs available. Based on the Venus 175 design from the 1950s, this manual-winding movement offers traditional chronograph architecture with proven reliability. The column wheel provides smooth pusher action and precise chronograph engagement, features typically found in much more expensive calibres.

For Studio Underd0g, this movement choice allows them to offer genuine mechanical chronograph functionality at an accessible price point while maintaining quality. The 45-hour power reserve and -10/+15 seconds daily accuracy represent honest, practical performance. By choosing this movement, Studio Underd0g demonstrates that serious watchmaking doesn’t always require in-house movements or Swiss certification.

How Does British Assembly Add Value?

Studio Underd0g watches undergo complete assembly in Great Britain, with each piece receiving full independent quality control inspection before shipping. This isn’t simply final assembly but includes demagnetisation, accuracy testing, rate review for three positions, and comprehensive regulation. A detailed report card accompanies each watch, documenting its individual performance characteristics.

This British assembly represents more than geographic designation, it ensures each watch meets exacting standards while supporting local watchmaking expertise. The hands-on approach allows Studio Underd0g to maintain quality control typically associated with much larger brands while adding the personal touch that defines independent watchmaking. For collectors, this means receiving a watch that’s been individually tested and regulated rather than mass-produced.

Why Choose Vibrant Colours Like Green for a Serious Watch?

The bold green dial challenges conventional wisdom about watch colours, demonstrating that serious horology doesn’t require conservative aesthetics. The sophisticated execution, satin sandblasted base with coarse dégradé top layer, creates depth and visual interest that elevates the playful colour choice. This technical approach to dial finishing shows that vibrant colours can coexist with quality craftsmanship.

For collectors, the Guacam0le offers something genuinely different in a market saturated with black, blue, and white dials. The colour choice reflects confidence and personality while the technical specifications, sapphire crystal, Super-LumiNova C3, column-wheel chronograph, ensure the watch performs as impressively as it looks. This balance between playfulness and performance defines Studio Underd0g’s approach to modern independent watchmaking.
