This time, the duo launch a [wristwatch that is ultra minimalistic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ming-3702-minimalist) with subtle details throughout the entire design. It boasts a clean white completion in every area of the exterior makeup, taking the [Unimatic Modello Uno U1-MY2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimatic-x-massena-lab-u1spg-nasa-artemis) as the base foundational design. It has a white case, a white bezel insert, and a minimal dial with the signature Super-LumiNova white C1 as the markers. The strap boasts two different options -- wearers can select from either a more casual white nylon strap or a more premium option of a white leather strap. There will only be 100 editions of the watch as an exclusive touch and it is stonewashed by hand.
