Japan's renowned watchmaker SEIKO has a history of dropping killer timepieces in collaboration with various ACG IPs, and fans have always eaten them up.
Now, to mark the 10th anniversary of both the Hokkaido Shinkansen (which launched in 2016) and the "Shinkalion" anime, they're dropping a special watch! This bad boy is themed around the "H5 Hayabusa" and features "Hatsune Miku," the character born from the Hatsune Miku collaboration. It'll set you back 65,780 JPY, with only 5,000 units available worldwide.
"Hatsune Miku" is a spin-off character from the "Shinkalion" anime, based on Hatsune Miku herself, and voiced by the legendary Saki Fujita. Sporting the same iconic green twin-tails as her original counterpart, she pilots the similarly colored "H5 Hayabusa." With her incredible kendo skills, she wields the Ticket Gate Sword to take down colossal monsters!
This watch is a total stunner! The dial rocks a "Tokiwa Green" and "Hiiun White" gradient, with "Ayaka Purple" accents on the markers. The whole vibe is super premium, perfectly matching the "H5 Hayabusa" train series and Hatsune Miku's color scheme.
The hour markers are inspired by Hatsune Miku's hair accessories, while the 10 o'clock position features a special 10th-anniversary cross symbol. And at 12 o'clock? You'll find the head ornament design from the H5 Hayabusa series!
The small seconds hand features a cool snowflake pattern, just like inside the train. Plus, the watch hands and the SEIKO logo glow in the dark, mimicking the four round lights on the train's front, so you can always tell the time, even when it's pitch black!
Flip it over, and the case back is engraved with the Hokkaido Shinkansen logo and a unique serial number, proving its limited-edition status and making each watch one-of-a-kind.
But wait, there's more than just the watch! Every purchase comes with a "Shinca"-style stainless steel metal card (like the ones used by drivers in the show), a special collector's box, and an exclusive character visual card.
