UNDONE introduces its latest collectible box of goods -- this time around, it spotlights the iconic cartoon series Astro Boy. It is a retro favorite amongst many and the box set features an acrylic artwork. The inspiration behind the range centers around the character's X-Ray vision and grid-patterned dial with an open design.
It also has an inner rotating bezel with a 12 hour scale measurement and a second crown that can be found right at the 10 o'clock position. It lights up in both blue and green by the hands for a functional component, along with the hour markers and the grid dial design complete with sapphire crystal glass for a premium touch and coated stainless steel.
