Inspired by the ancient Japanese legend “Revenge of the 47 Rōnin” and the renegade romantics of modern Bōsōzoku biker culture - the UNDONE Ronin is a watch forged for the latter day samurais and adrenaline junkies of our dystopian age. The original story follows a band of renegade Samurai who defied all law and circumstance to avenge the wrongful death of their master, even if it meant certain death upon themselves; their vendetta would go down as one of the most dramatic and bloody episodes in Japanese history and is considered a tale emblematic of the noble samurai virtues of loyalty, courage and sacrifice long lost to a bygone era...
