UNDONE x Williams Racing: Motorsport Meets Timekeeping in Two New Limited Editions

The world of motorsport and watchmaking has long shared a passion for precision, performance, and split-second decisions. Now, UNDONE brings that connection to life in a new collaboration with Atlassian Williams Racing — one of Formula 1’s most historic teams. Featuring two distinct models, the FW47 and the Carbono, this collection captures the essence of racing heritage with modern Japanese watchmaking. While the pre-orders haven’t opened to the public just yet, anticipation is already building.

Whether you’re a fan of the team, the sport, or simply appreciate watches that do more than tell time, this launch offers a compelling blend of story, design, and function.

A Collaboration Fueled by Speed and Story

Williams Racing is a name that resonates deeply within F1 circles. The FW47, the team’s 2025 race car, is a symbol of their continued drive toward innovation — and UNDONE’s Tokyo-based design team has translated that ethos into a pair of unique watches.

Both models are proudly designed and assembled in Japan, each with its own focus and personality. While the FW47 watch leans toward mechanical purity and calendar complexity, the Carbono opts for a hybrid chronograph layout that delivers instant racing flair. Together, they represent two sides of the same circuit: pure performance and fan-favorite style.

FW47 – A Tribute to Engineering Precision

Designed as a mechanical homage to the team’s latest F1 car, the FW47 watch is the more premium of the two models — and it shows. Housed in a clean 40mm case made from 316L stainless steel, this piece combines understated proportions with elevated detail.

One of its defining features is the genuine carbon fiber dial, which adds texture, light play, and a direct reference to the race car’s materials. The lines on the caseback are even inspired by the aerodynamics of a front wing, giving the watch more than just surface-level inspiration. Every visual cue ties back to the machine it honors.

Inside, you’ll find the Miyota 9122 automatic movement — a Japanese caliber known for its triple calendar display (day, date, and month), smooth 28,800 bph sweep, and solid 40+ hour power reserve. It’s a movement you don’t often see at this price point, especially in racing-themed watches, which often favor quartz or simpler automatics.

The strap adds another nod to racing: a leather band embossed with a tire tread pattern, offering a tactile, motorsport-ready look.

FW47 Specs:

Case: 40mm stainless steel
Thickness: 12.5mm (incl. crystal)
Movement: Miyota 9122 automatic
Functions: Triple calendar (day/date/month)
Crystal: Sapphire with AR + anti-fingerprint coating
Strap: Tire-texture leather
Water Resistance: 10 ATM
Price: $780 USD

This is clearly the model aimed at collectors and enthusiasts who want something with depth, both mechanically and thematically.

Carbono Watch – A Hybrid Chronograph with F1 DNA

If the FW47 is the tribute to engineering detail, then the Carbono is the fan-favorite — bold, sporty, and built for everyday speed.

At 41.8mm wide and 13.3mm thick, the Carbono has a slightly chunkier presence, amplified by its hybrid meca-quartz chronograph movement: the TMI VK63. This Seiko-produced caliber combines the reliability of quartz with the feel of a mechanical chronograph, including a smooth central chronograph seconds hand and satisfying tactile pushers.

The Carbono’s case is made from the same durable 316L stainless steel and protected by sapphire crystal with UNDONE’s standard AR and anti-fingerprint coatings. It’s paired with an FKM rubber strap, perfect for active wear or summer use. The overall look is bold and technical, drawing visual influence from the team’s 2025 driver lineup: Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz.

Custom touches are a big part of this release too — users can personalize the Carbono by adding their racing number, initials, and helmet design, making it a more expressive and personal piece.

Carbono Specs:

Case: 41.8mm stainless steel
Thickness: 13.3mm (incl. crystal)
Movement: Seiko VK63 meca-quartz hybrid
Functions: Flyback chronograph with central seconds
Crystal: Sapphire with AR + anti-fingerprint coating
Strap: FKM rubber
Water Resistance: 10 ATM
Price: $380 USD

The Carbono is arguably the more approachable and fun of the two — less about complication, more about vibe. It’s the kind of watch that looks right at home trackside, in the pits, or on your wrist during a Sunday F1 binge.

Packaging and Personalization: Fan-Forward Touches

UNDONE has added a few thoughtful extras to elevate this release beyond standard limited editions.

Meanwhile, the Carbono offers personalization. As the first-ever customized Atlassian Williams Racing watch, it lets buyers make their piece truly unique. You can:

  • Pick your helmet design
  • Add your initials
  • Choose your racing number

It’s a clever way to turn a fan-focused chronograph into a personal tribute — whether you’re repping your favorite driver or putting your own number on the grid.

Final Thoughts: One for the Fans, One for the Purists

UNDONE has steadily carved out a space in the world of customizable, design-driven watches — and this Williams Racing collab is one of their strongest themed releases yet.

The FW47 offers a polished, mechanical option with high-spec finishing, a rich motorsport backstory, and functional complexity, while the Carbono brings the chronograph energy and personalization that’s ideal for fans of Albon, Sainz, or the team in general.

What stands out most is how UNDONE has gone beyond basic co-branding — both models feature original design work, thoughtful materials (like the carbon fiber dial), and thematic cohesion throughout. They’re not just watches with a logo slapped on; they’re actual expressions of what Williams Racing stands for in 2025.

If you’re a motorsport fan looking for a meaningful watch that captures the F1 spirit — or just want a cool chronograph with personality — either of these could be a strong contender.
