Just launched: A Tissot and UFO Robot Grendizer collaboration

Posted on 15 October 2024

Tissot recently launched a special edition PRX watch in collaboration with UFO Robot Grendizer, a popular 1970s manga and anime series created by Go Nagai. This collaboration blends Swiss watchmaking precision with nostalgic Japanese pop culture, celebrating both the PRX models and Grendizer's shared 70s heritage.


This collaboration is a nostalgic nod to an era when manga captivated Europe in 1978, the same year Tissot launched its famous PRX watch. Today, any watch aficionado will recognize the importance of that timepiece. By combining these two legacies, Tissot offers a special edition that celebrates both history and fandom.

The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, and its design draws inspiration from Grendizer’s blue color palette. Notable details include a luminescent Super-LumiNova® bust of Grendizer on the dial and a second hand styled after the character’s "Harken" weapon. With an 80-hour power reserve (perfect for extended manga binges), high precision, and 10-bar water resistance, this watch delivers both style and substance. The 70s-inspired metal bracelet also ensures comfort while you enjoy Grendizer on both screen and wrist.

A highlight for collectors is the packaging. Tissot have designed a special watch box shaped like the spaceship "Spazer," a detail fans will instantly recognize. The box even features original drawings by Grendizer’s creator, Go Nagai, further blending the worlds of watchmaking and anime. With new episodes of Grendizer U coming this year, this is not only a watch, it is a bridge across generations, uniting hearts through shared moments of the past and present.
