Hair of the d0g

A Gimlet, then a Manhattan, is a sure recipe for a heavy head the next morning. Naturally,

there is only one cure. Fears and Studio Underd0g return for one final toast in their spirited

trilogy: The 02SERIES Mim0sa.

Dialed to Perfection

The multi-layer dial showcases several technical innovations, the most striking of which is a

1mm sapphire disc featuring a distinctive, liquid-like surface. This effect is achieved through

advanced 5-axis CNC machining, followed by meticulous semi-polishing to create the

desired finish. Each CNC machine produces only 6–8 discs per day, with a yield rate of

approximately 50–60%. During the surface-finishing stage, a single polishing unit can

process around 20 pieces per seven-hour batch, also with a yield rate of about 50–60%.

Beneath the sapphire layer lies the base dial, which incorporates seven carefully applied

layers of custom-formulated Super-LumiNova pigment. Each layer must be allowed to dry

fully before the next is added, making the process exceptionally time-consuming but

essential for achieving a vivid and uniform glow.

Once these two components are joined via twin slotted-head pins, the printed details

appear to float above the luminous base, casting subtle shadows that shift with changing

light. As the watch moves, these shadows dance across the dial, creating a dynamic,

ever-changing visual effect. In darkness, the luminous base illuminates the printing from

below, allowing the details to appear as if they are suspended in mid-air, completely

detached from any surface.

The Drop

The 02SERIES Mim0sa Limited Edition will be made available on October 23rd for 9 hours

between 3pm – 12am BST [Happy Hour(s)] via underd0g.com. Once the window closes, the

watch will be discontinued. All orders placed during this window will be guaranteed a

watch. Exact delivery details depend on the total quantity of orders placed. Orders will be

processed and shipped based on order number (first come, first serve basis).
