- [Reviewer] This is the Undone Aqua
automatic watch.
I demo the online custom configurator,
through to the unboxing of the actual
made to order item.
keep watching to the end, for some useful tips.
Let's jump straight into the configurator,
and show you how your journey begins.
I chose the Aqua from their collection. (upbeat music)
Every single undone watch is made to order
from their in-house operation.
We've got a choice of four PVD coatings,
which increase the wear, scratch,
and corrosion performance of stainless steel.
You also have more colorful
Cerakote polymer ceramic coatings.
Needless to say, very tough.
I like the PVD sandblasted matte black.
Next, let's choose a bezel.
Even more material choice here.
You've got four ceramic finishes,
four Cerakote finishes, and lots of K1 glass designs.
Next the dial.
There's too many different ones
for me to go through all of them with you here,
but you get the idea.
The hands, also present you with a massive choice,
including luminous colors.
The movement, or mechanism, for non-watch people,
is an automatic motion-powered
self-winding type, it's the NH35A.
The strap, various leather, suede, rubber, Cordura,
all of them look good, and are easily changeable,
which I'll show you soon.
Finally, we've got a choice of glass back
showing the movement,
which you can have custom printed on,
or a metal back with custom engraving.
The solid metal back gives you 200 meter depth,
compared to 100 meters of the glass back.
In just nine days
Undone have custom made my design,
and shipped the watch
all the way from Hong Kong via Dubai, to the UK.
It's been more exciting travels than I have.
I was surprised to get it so quickly.
You get this fantastic leather padded case.
(gentle music) And here the warranty, instruction,
owner’s manual, and quick guide.
The Aqua collection are diver's watches,
water-resistant up to 200 meters
if you get the metal back,
with optional luminous bezel, dial,
and hand combination,
so you can tell the time, even in the darkest depths.
You also have quick-release mechanism,
to change straps, with no hassle.
I think customs might have opened mine,
but it's arrived safely,
and it's exactly as I specified
on the online configurator.
The automatic movement is the most appealing
feature for me, and it's great to see it work.
This satisfies what might be an urge to take it apart.
I sure don't think I'd be able
to put it back together again If I did.
I especially like this raised domed glass,
which magnifies the date.
Oh, and if you like videos like this,
would you hit the like, or subscribe,
because when I first started the channel
I made reviews of things I had lying around,
Now I try really hard to handpick items only,
that I hope sharing with you
will be exciting for you to see,
so I really appreciate the like,
subscribe, or hearing your comments below.
I like the Undone branding on the crown.
The ceramic bezel is raised
to protect the sapphire crystal,
Let's pull this sticker off.
Watching the mechanism move around
through the glass window has got me hooked.
You can have personalised printing on the glass,
if you want to take your custom build even further,
and optional engraving on the metal back.
For those of you that are new to mechanical watches,
there may be an assumption
that we just all know how they work.
But I have a little guidance to help you,
you'll notice my ticker isn't ticking yet,
the guys at Undone tell me to wear this for a while,
to put some charge into it.
So I embark on a five-mile hike,
and a three-mile run, and still nothing yet.
But don't worry, your watch is fine,
they just don't give much information
suitable for the watch noob.
I've put some detailed instruction
and information in the description,
about the NH35A movement.
Firstly, set your time and date,
being observant of the instructions.
Next, my experience was,
that I found there was a knack to making it start
when it's brand new, basically,
you've got a reason with it a little,
and convince it that the world
is not such a bad place to live.
What you kind of wanna do, is hold it firmly,
and give it a bit of a shake, or gentle tap.
That will nudge it into life
for maybe four or five seconds,
do this a few times,
until you've one full rotation of the seconds hand.
To get a second rotation of the seconds hand
doesn't require as many nudges,
and after that, it works fine all by itself.
I learned that NH35 unit
is well regarded for its reliability,
and I could find no examples online
of people having problems with it.
I've been wearing it for a few days,
and it's kept perfect time
even when I've taken it off overnight,
and this watch is just about
my favourite thing right now.
Let's take a look at the changeable straps.
You might have bought additional straps.
You have a simple tiny push lever,
which allows you to remove
and replace the straps in seconds.
If you're a muscular guy, or girl,
check the exact dimensions on the Undone website.
See how it compares with your existing
watch strap length.
One thing to note,
is that I've got quite skinny arms,
like a t-rex,
and I've got this on the third location hole,
near the end.
Thanks again for watching, see ya.
