Tissot PRX x Grendizer: A Bold Fusion of Eras and Icons
In a bold nod to nostalgia and pop culture, Tissot unveiled a special edition PRX that bridges the worlds of Swiss watchmaking and Japanese manga. The collaboration celebrates the cult anime UFO Robot Grendizer, pairing it with Tissot’s iconic PRX, a design born from the same era.
Originally launched in the 1970s, both the PRX and Grendizer captured hearts across continents, making this partnership a fitting tribute to a shared cultural legacy. With the resurgence of the Grendizer U series, the new PRX edition invites long-time fans on a joyful journey back in time, while introducing a new generation to the magic of this super robot saga.
The 40mm stainless steel timepiece features a striking blue dial, echoing the signature hue of Grendizer, illuminated by a yellow Super-LumiNova® bust of the robot hero. Subtle yet distinct design details, such as the Harken-style seconds hand, Japanese script on the upper flange, and a custom-engraved rotor, offer layers of meaning for fans and collectors alike. Even the packaging is a collector’s piece in its own right, inspired by the Spazer spaceship and adorned with original sketches from Go Nagai, the legendary manga creator.
This edition remains available across Tissot boutiques, Rivoli and Hour Choice stores, and online at rivolishop.com.
