Erika Ratini (@watchmissgmt) brings three very different watches to Time+Tide’s “3-Watch Throw Down”: a Rolex Submariner Date “Starbucks” tied to a personal milestone, the cocktail-inspired Studio Underd0g × Fears SERIES02 Manhattan, and the rare Japanese independent Naoya Hida & Co. NH Type 4A. The lineup is less a set of matching specifications than a portrait of contrasting tastes and stories.
Three watches, three different kinds of appeal
In its 4 March 2026 feature, Time+Tide identifies Ratini and the three watches in her video. The Rolex is the recognizable, personal choice; the collaboration brings color and a New York cocktail connection; the Naoya Hida is the rare independent with carefully finished details.
| Watch | What the feature emphasizes | Role in the lineup |
|---|---|---|
| Rolex Submariner Date “Starbucks” | A promotion and the moment Ratini spotted and tried on the watch | A milestone watch with familiar Rolex presence |
| Studio Underd0g × Fears SERIES02 Manhattan | Its New York reveal, Manhattan-cocktail inspiration, amber sapphire and radial-brushed steel | A colorful collaboration with a place-and-drink story |
| Naoya Hida & Co. NH Type 4A | Its Japanese independent identity, hand-engraved Arabic numerals and vintage-inspired crystal | The rare, detail-led choice |
Rolex Submariner Date “Starbucks”: a watch with a personal story
Ratini’s Submariner Date is presented as the “big girl watch” in her collection. Its appeal in the feature is bound up with a promotion: she saw the watch across a room, then got to try it on after a sales associate removed it from her own wrist. That encounter gives the Rolex a personal significance beyond its instantly recognizable dive-watch identity.
The feature also singles out the Glidelock bracelet adjustment system. That is the writer’s favorable impression, not a measured comparison or proof that the Rolex is objectively superior to the other two watches. The article does not provide a full reference number or a complete specification sheet.

Studio Underd0g × Fears SERIES02 Manhattan: color and cocktail inspiration
The collaboration is associated with a New York reveal and draws its concept from the Manhattan cocktail. Time+Tide describes amber sapphire over radial-brushed steel, making material and finish central to the watch’s character in this three-watch selection. The feature does not give a full technical specification or establish current availability.
Naoya Hida & Co. NH Type 4A: the rare Japanese independent
The NH Type 4A supplies the lineup’s rare Japanese-independent element. The details highlighted are hand-engraved Arabic numerals and a vintage-inspired crystal—features that distinguish its design from the Rolex’s familiar sport-watch presence and the collaboration’s cocktail-led color story.
Time+Tide gives an approximate price of US$18,500 in its 2026 feature. That figure is the article’s price context, not a verified current quote or confirmation of present-day availability.

Ratini’s choices span three distinct kinds of attachment: a watch connected to a career milestone and memorable first try-on, a collaboration shaped by a specific place and drink, and a rare independent whose hand-finished details reward close attention. The contrast is the point: recognition, color and rarity coexist without requiring the watches to share a style or purpose.
