Watermelon

The Studio Underd0g Watermelon brings playful British creativity to the world of mechanical chronographs. Debuted as part of the brand’s first collection, this model quickly drew attention for its distinctive pink and green dial—a nod to summer fruits that’s both bold and refreshingly different from the usual fare. Limited production runs and the unique design language have made it a talking point among collectors seeking something outside the mainstream Swiss offerings.

Reference numbers are straightforward, as Studio Underd0g’s lineup is still compact and evolving. The Watermelon is built around a 38.5mm stainless steel case and powered by the hand-wound Seagull ST-1901 column wheel chronograph movement, which offers vintage charm and a tactile winding experience. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, making it suitable for daily wear but not intended for serious aquatic use. The playful dial is the main differentiator, but subtle updates—like dial texture and hand color—can vary slightly between batches.

Prices tend to fluctuate based on availability, as each drop sells out quickly and secondary market demand remains high. Earlier batches may command a premium thanks to their lower production numbers and minor aesthetic differences. When buying, check for full kit (box, papers, original strap), as completeness impacts value. The movement is reliable but can be tricky to service locally, so ensure it’s running smoothly—Studio Underd0g’s direct support is a plus for recent purchases.
