UNDONE, the world’s leading custom watch label, announced that it has entered into a three-year global licensing agreement with Warner Bros.
Being no stranger to delivering unique and fun interpretations of characters and household names to the watch world, UNDONE is confident these pieces will not only be the watches Batman fans need but the ones they deserve.
UNDONE is releasing a tribute that is bound to make the Joker lose his laugh. For Batman’s 80th anniversary, UNDONE has designed a premium collection, introducing its first Titanium model in tandem to this special occasion.
Since his first appearance on the pages of DETECTIVE COMICS #27 on March 30, 1939, Batman’s role and look as a crime-fighting cultural icon continues to evolve in our collective consciousness. The UNDONE x BATMAN80th Anniversary Collection pays homage to perhaps two of the most definitive eras in Batman’s evolution; The Caped Crusader and The Dark Knight.
“The Caped Crusader”
Housed in Grade II Titanium, the cushion-case, crown, and pushers are lightweight, agile and highly corrosion resistant. With a micro-blasted finish for ultimate stealth and aggressive shoulder lines reminiscent of the Batmobile, the Caped Crusader brings Batman’s fierce demeanor to your wrist. The distinctive yellow can be found on the center console, circling the tachymeter and its “80” mark, a nod to Batman’s 80th anniversary. Further, on the chronograph seconds, hands and subdials, the classic oval insignia (1989-1993) in the form of a Batarang can be found. Equally fearsome in the dark, the dial reveals a green luminous detect-a-scope and Bat-Signal minute subdial whilst the hands and applied indices are an icy blue.
“The Dark Knight”
“The Dark Knight” is a realistic interpretation on the duality of Bruce Wayne/Batman’s identities. The matted grey look of the Titanium micro-blasted cushion case along with the two-tone dial design converge to an almost “Noir”/ “B&W movie” aesthetic. Here you will find the 2011 NEW 52 COMICS version of the Bat emblem stealthily debossed into the subdial; take this watch out for a spin at night, however, and you will witness the lume on the appliques and chronograph counters come alive like the blue-nitrous boosters of the Batmobile’s powerful engine. Made for shaking hands in the boardroom and kicking a** on the boardwalk, “The Dark Knight” is undoubtedly a versatile piece borne of a reluctant Super Hero’s necessity and Wayne Industry engineering prowess.
The UNDONE x Batman 80th Anniversary Collection is now available. “The Caped Crusader” and “The Dark Knight” will come in an open glass case back, laser serialized with a special commemorative Batman 80th Anniversary badge based on the cover of DETECTIVE COMICS #27 on March 30, 1939. Both models will arrive in a tactical, yet stylish metal carrying case featuring the Bat emblem.
