In the latest instalment of its excellent PRX series, Tissot surprises not only watch lovers but also fans of Japanese pop culture. The special edition of the Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer is not only an homage to the watchmaking classic, but also to the iconic 1970s anime. This collaboration symbolises the collision of two worlds: the elegant styling of the PRX and the exciting aesthetics of science fiction.

• The Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer inspired by the 1970s and a character from a Japanese anime cartoon.

70s inspiration and retro design in the Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer

The Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer is a watch that draws inspiration from the aesthetics of the 1970s, when both the PRX model and the Grendizer series debuted. In 1978, Tissot unveiled the first PRX Seastar model, which has continually won fans ever since. Now, in 2024, the watch takes on a new dimension thanks to its association with Japanese manga. The 40 mm diameter envelope in 316L stainless steel and the blue dial inspired by the Grendizer character pay homage to the pop culture icons of the time.

Speaking about the importance of this collaboration, Go Nagai boldly states that:

By juxtaposing the UFO Robot Grendizer's struggle for a better future and the PRX's path where he marks the most important moments of his life, we have created a watch that is a true tribute to the heritage of both phenomena.

The iconic Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer Collaboration. A watch for collectors and beyond

One of the most distinctive details is the Japanese inscription "UFOロボ グレンダイザー" on the upper bezel, which refers to the original anime title. Tissot's collaboration with Go Nagai, the creator of the Grendizer, has resulted in a design that combines the precision of Swiss watchmaking with pop culture icons. The result is a limited edition watch designed for connoisseurs and collectors who appreciate uniqueness and craftsmanship.

State-of-the-art functions and a precise mechanism

The watch is equipped with the Powermatic 80 movement, which offers an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours. The Nivachron™ balance spring ensures exceptional precision and resistance to magnetic fields. In addition, the Super-LumiNova®-coated dial makes the Grendizer robot glow in the dark, echoing the futuristic themes of the anime series. This is complemented by a harken-shaped second hand, which is sure to inspire nostalgia in fans of Japanese culture.

Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer box inspired by the Spazer, which the Grendizer moves in

The packaging of the Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer model is a reference to the world of anime. The shape of the box has been modelled on the Spazer - Grendizer's spaceship - as a nod to fans of the Japanese series. With drawings by Go Nagai and a unique design, every element of this collaboration is thoughtfully designed and impresses with its unique character. Tissot PRX x Grendizer proves that there is still room for fantasy in the world of watchmaking and that even the most unexpected combinations can result in something extraordinary.
