In a nod to nostalgia and Disney’s 100th anniversary, Highsnobiety has joined forces with the esteemed Italian microbrand Unimatic to introduce a captivating limited edition capsule collection of Mickey Mouse watches. This trio of meticulously crafted timepieces pays homage to different eras of Mickey Mouse design and is set to become a collector’s dream.
The collection comprises three distinct styles: the 1929 Mickey U3-HS (40mm), the 1947 Mickey U2S-T-HS (38mm), and the 2023 Mickey U1S-HS2 (40mm). Crafted from either titanium or stainless steel, each watch features a unique Mickey Mouse illustration on the dial, representing different design periods. Engraved with its series number on the caseback, these watches embody a perfect blend of classic and contemporary design.
The 1929 Mickey U3-HS, a chronograph diver, is powered by a Meca-quartz movement (Seiko VK64A), while the 1947 Mickey U2S-T-HS and the 2023 Mickey U1S-HS2 boast the Automatic Caliber Sellita SW200-1 b, providing precision in hour, minutes, and seconds functions. All three watches are water-resistant up to 300m.
The capsule collection offers a choice of two straps in vibrant red, sleek gray, or classic black, all elegantly presented in custom packaging.
Highsnobiety’s collaboration with Unimatic brings a fresh perspective to character watch design, offering a more historical interpretation. The collection strikes a balance between modern aesthetics and a timeless appeal, making it an ideal choice for horological enthusiasts seeking something unique.
The limited edition “100 Years of Disney” Mickey Mouse watches are priced from €850 to €1,300 and will be available exclusively on the Highsnobiety iOS App and Highsnobiety Shop starting November 22nd, 2023.
