This year marks the epic 55th anniversary of Kamen Rider, and the celebrations are in full swing with a slew of events and projects! The official word is out: the 8th Reiwa Rider series will be titled "Kamen Rider MY-TH," following up on "ZEZTZ."
Adding to the anniversary hype, Swiss fashion watch brand Tendence has just announced a special collaboration: a 55th-anniversary commemorative watch for Kamen Rider! This limited-edition timepiece pays homage to the original, iconic Kamen Rider Ichigo. Priced at 66,000 JPY and limited to just 255 units, pre-orders are already live.
This isn't Tendence's first rodeo with the Rider universe; they've previously dropped collabs for Kamen Rider Agito and Kamen Rider Kabuto, which were huge hits with fans. Now, it's Ichigo's turn to shine for this milestone anniversary.
The standout feature of this "Kamen Rider Ichigo 55th Anniversary Collaboration Watch" is undoubtedly the integration of Ichigo's "Typhoon" transformation belt into its design. The watch is built on Tendence's signature KingDome series, renowned for its captivating rotating 3D dial.
The dial's center draws inspiration from the belt's "windmill power core." As the wearer moves their wrist, the dial springs to life, spinning just like the belt during a transformation! It's the ultimate eye-catcher and a brilliant nod to the Rider's iconic pose.
But wait, there's more! Hidden beneath the rotating dial are the Tendence and the legendary Tachibana Racing Club logos. As the dial spins, these subtle details are revealed, adding an extra layer of fan-service for keen-eyed collectors.
Flip the watch over, and you'll find a special commemorative logo designed exclusively for Kamen Rider Ichigo's 55th anniversary. Each of the 255 limited-edition pieces also boasts a unique serial number, making it a true collector's item.
And because presentation is everything, the watch comes in an exclusive outer box kit, adorned with Kamen Rider Ichigo's visual and the 55th-anniversary logo. This isn't just a watch; it's a complete commemorative package!
