In a unique collaboration, Highsnobiety and Unimatic have unveiled a series of limited edition Mickey Mouse watches to commemorate Disney's 100th anniversary. This special capsule collection features three models, each distinct in design and inspired by different eras of the beloved Mickey Mouse character.
The collection includes the 1929 Mickey U3-HS (40mm), the 1947 Mickey U2S-T-HS (38mm), and the 2023 Mickey U1S-HS2 (40mm), each crafted from durable materials like titanium or stainless steel. The watches highlight Mickey Mouse illustrations from various periods, with each piece engraved with its unique series number on the caseback.
The 2023 Mickey U1S-HS2 and 1947 Mickey U2S-T-HS are powered by the Automatic Caliber Sellita SW200-1 b, supporting hour, minute, and second functions. The 1929 Mickey U3-HS diver chronograph model utilizes a Meca-quartz movement (Seiko VK64A). Each watch in the collection boasts a water resistance of 300 meters.
Options for personalization include two straps in colors of red, gray, or black, complemented by custom packaging.
Disney's cultural impact is vast, and Mickey Mouse remains a symbol of nostalgic charm and timeless design. This collection appeals to those who cherish these sentiments, offering a stylish and modern take on a classic character.
Mickey Mouse has long been synonymous with character watches, a trend dating back to Ingersoll's Mickey Mouse watch in 1933. Unimatic's approach to these new designs is notably subtle and classic, veering away from the more flamboyant styles seen in previous character collaborations. This collection represents a more refined and historically rich interpretation of character watch design.
