A Return to Timepieces
Indeed, the newly introduced watch, named the Mudita Radiant, marks Mudita’s return to timepieces. This isn’t the first watch from the brand; they previously released the Mudita Element watch last year. Additionally, their lineup includes the Mudita Bell 2 and Mudita Harmony 2, both of which are alarm clocks that come with either an analog or E Ink display.
Impressive Specifications
The Radiant is a Swiss-made automatic field watch that operates on the Sellita SW 200 Elaboré automatic movement. According to the details provided on the Kickstarter page, this watch is crafted, hand-assembled, and expertly fine-tuned by the esteemed Swiss watch maker, Chrono AG.
The design of the Mudita Radiant features a brushed stainless steel casing that’s around 10.5 mm thick. It includes a crown guard and sapphire crystal glass that has a multi-layer anti-reflective coating. The dial, designed for 12-hour time, showcases hands and hour markers that are treated with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9, a bright luminescent material that ensures visibility at night. Furthermore, the Radiant incorporates an Incabloc shock protection system to safeguard its internal movement.
Colorful Options and Pricing
Boasting a water resistance rating of 10 ATM, the Mudita Radiant is offered in Natural White, Sand Beige, Moss Green, Baltic Blue, and Charcoal Black, all matched with quick-release straps, including a variant in Pebble Gray. The straps are made of reinforced textile, combining durability with softness, and come with a stainless steel buckle. This watch is designed to be unisex and will come in three case sizes: 32 mm, 37 mm, and 40 mm. Each watch features a unique number engraved on its back, making it a special collector’s item.
The Mudita Radiant has successfully surpassed its Kickstarter funding target of $17,389, with 26 days still remaining in the campaign. At the moment, it has raised over $55,000 from 90 backers. Those who decide to pre-order the watch can snag it for €559, which is the super early bird price. There’s also an early bird price of €599 and a bundle deal of €879 for two watches. Once the campaign concludes, the retail price will be €699 (~$812), which is a notable reduction compared to the $999 Mudita Element listed on Amazon.
