Once a massive phenomenon, Slayers is undeniably one of the pioneers of the light novel genre. While many might be more familiar with the anime and manga adaptations, author Hajime Kanzaka's light novels, which debuted in 1989, were a truly unique and astonishing creation that still boasts a massive fanbase today.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Slayers light novel, an official "Slayers Original 35th Anniversary Limited Edition Watch" has been announced! Priced at 27,500 JPY, it's currently available for pre-order on the official "Anime Collection" online store and KADOKAWA STORE.
This commemorative timepiece is designed around Lina Inverse's signature spell, the "Dragon Slave." Featuring a striking red and black color scheme, it condenses the magical world of Slayers onto your wrist, letting you carry a piece of that adventure and magic into your everyday life.
The watch face itself is a dynamic blend of black and red. The outer ring of the black dial features a "concentric circle engraving" design that shimmers and shifts with the light, perfectly mimicking the energy release of a magic circle. The central section boasts a "Clou de Paris" hobnail pattern, with its intricate raised textures evoking the solemn atmosphere of ancient ruins or a magical city.
The red dial is embossed with the fiery imagery of Lina and the "Dragon Slave." At the 2, 4, 8, and 10 o'clock positions, you'll find metallic accents symbolizing the "Crimson Eye," adorned with ruby-like embellishments. The 12 o'clock position features a golden 35th-anniversary logo, while three natural diamonds sparkle at the 3 o'clock mark, symbolizing the brilliance of time and this special commemoration.
Zooming in on the details, the second hand takes inspiration from the "Sword of Light." The dial's engraving subtly incorporates the energy ripples of the "Dragon Slave," and a commemorative metal emblem featuring the Slayers original 35th-anniversary logo is integrated into the watch face.
The case back is engraved with a unique serial number (1-1990), alongside the names of the four main characters: Lina, Gourry, Amelia, and Zelgadis, plus the 35th-anniversary logo.
It comes with two genuine leather straps, one black and one brown, allowing you to switch up your style to match any outfit, whether you're going for a sophisticated formal look or a casual vibe. The watch box itself is crafted from high-quality PU leather, designed to resemble a magic tome, with the official logo hot-stamped in gold on the cover. Inside, you'll find a guarantee card styled like a "Magic User's License," featuring an original illustration of Lina casting "Burst Flare," making it an incredibly valuable collector's item.
