Studio Underd0g

Ordered this piece a couple months ago and just received it. Haven’t had a chance to really look/study it but it seems well built with good detail.

I hadn’t planned to buy one of these, but I just happened to be online during the Studio Underd0g event where the order banks were opened.

“Function” or “Running” Indicators. Is that the right name for this mechanical watch complication?
