UNDONE x Batman 80th Anniversary Collection

The folks over at Undone Watches have embarked on yet another collaboration, this time with Warner Bros. to create the UNDONE x Batman 80th Anniversary Collection – watches they claim will not only be the watches Batman fans need, but the ones they deserve. This premium collection features two distinct interpretations of the Batman character, both housed in Undone’s first titanium case. Looking to the extremes of the Batman canon for inspiration, Undone chose “The Caped Crusader” and “The Dark Knight.”

UNDONE x Batman 80th Anniversary Collection Caped Crusader

“The Caped Crusader” draws upon the original comic book hero with a micro-blasted Grade II Titanium cushion-case, crown, and pushers measuring 40mm wide, 48mm long, and just 13.3mm thick. The stealthy finish and squared lines recall those of the Batmobile. The distinctive yellow can be found on the center console, circling the tachymetre 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. In the dark of night, the dial reveals a green luminous detect-a-scope and Bat-Signal minute subdial with the hands and applied indices in an icy blue.

“The Dark Knight” takes the grittier approach that emerged in the later Batman stories and movies. It marries the same matte grey titanium micro-blasted cushion with a two-tone dial design for a film noir aetshetic. The 2011 version of the Bat emblem is debossed into the subdial while the lume on the appliques and chronograph counters pop to life at night.

“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 March 30, 1939, cover of Detective Comics #27. Both models will arrive in a tactical, yet stylish metal carrying case featuring the Bat emblem.

In addition, Undone will be donating a portion of the proceeds on this project to support the heroic work of the Hope For Henry Foundation; who help seriously ill children and their families through difficult times. Expect more information about this partnership soon.
