Japanese watchmaking giant SEIKO has a stellar track record of collaborating with popular anime, comics, and games (ACG) IPs, consistently delighting fans with their unique timepieces.
Now, they're teaming up with the iconic series "Ranma ½," which is getting new animated content after more than 30 years! This exciting collaboration brings us a pair of limited-edition watches inspired by none other than Ranma (Female) and Shampoo. Priced at 54,780 JPY, these beauties are currently available for pre-order on the PREMICO website.
These watches boast incredibly thoughtful dial designs, featuring intricate Chinese-inspired motifs and dynamic water splash imagery. The surface shimmers with different lusters depending on the light, giving them a super premium feel. Look closer, and you'll spot subtle nods to Ranma and Shampoo's signature outfits, blending high fashion with beloved character elements!
▼ Ranma (Female) Model
Inspired by Ranma (Female)'s iconic attire, this model features a vibrant red dial. The hour markers ingeniously incorporate elements like Genma in his panda form, traditional Chinese buttons, and the ever-present water bucket. The second hand even secretly hides a hot water kettle motif, while a silhouette of Ranma mid-attack graces the 6 o'clock position!
▼ Shampoo Model
The Shampoo model takes its cue from her distinctive hair color, with a dial designed to match. Its hour markers showcase the "Cat Cafe" logo (where she works), the charming bell ornaments from her hair, and patterns from the Jusenkyo Amazons' battle attire. The second hand features an adorable paw print, and at the 6 o'clock position, you'll find a super cute silhouette of Shampoo transformed into a cat after a splash of water!
Each watch features exclusive character artwork on the case back, along with a unique limited edition serial number (from 1 to 2000).
And the packaging? It's just as impressive! Each watch comes in a luxurious, gold-stamped box adorned with the series logo on the lid and character art on the inner cover. It's perfect for collectors and an incredibly thoughtful gift!
