Tissot, the renowned Swiss watchmaker, has unveiled a new special edition that bridges the gap between Swiss craftsmanship and Japanese pop culture. In an unexpected yet exciting collaboration, Tissot has teamed up with the iconic 70s anime, UFO Robot Grendizer, to create a watch that appeals to both new fans and those who cherish the nostalgia of the original series. This partnership introduces a fresh chapter in Tissot’s history, blending their classic design with the dynamic energy of manga culture.
The Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer Special Edition is a masterful fusion of vintage aesthetics and modern technology. The watch draws inspiration from both the PRX model, first released in the 1970s, and the beloved Grendizer anime that captivated audiences in Europe during the same era. The 40mm stainless steel case is paired with a blue dial, reminiscent of the Grendizer itself, glowing with yellow Super-LumiNova® accents. This design, along with a Harken-style second hand and a uniquely engraved rotor, evokes a sense of nostalgia for fans of the original series.
This timepiece is not just a watch; it’s a tribute to the legacies of both Tissot and UFO Robot Grendizer. The PRX model, known for its reliability and precision, is powered by the Powermatic 80 movement, offering an 80-hour power reserve. The Nivachron™ balance spring ensures high precision, while the sapphire crystal and mineral glass back provide durability and a clear view of the intricate details inspired by the Grendizer series. The Japanese text "UFOロボ グレンダイザー" on the dial further cements the authenticity of this collaboration.
Every element of this special edition watch, from its design to its packaging, pays homage to the 70s. The iconic 70s metal bracelet has been reimagined for maximum comfort, while the watch box itself is modeled after Grendizer’s UFO, the Spazer. This design choice adds a personal touch, reminiscent of the legendary spaceship from the series. The box sleeve features original drawings by Go Nagai, the creator of Grendizer, adding to the nostalgic value of the piece.
This special edition watch serves as a bridge between worlds and generations, merging the traditions of Swiss watchmaking with the creative spirit of Japanese manga. Every detail, from the specially designed box to the Grendizer motifs on the dial, is crafted with passion. Tissot invites both old and new fans on a journey through captivating worlds, bringing together the spirit of Grendizer with the timeless craftsmanship of the PRX.
