Swiss trend watchmaker Tendence recently announced a new collaboration with "ONE PIECE," which is celebrating its 29th manga serialization anniversary this year. They're bringing back two popular collaboration watches from their first team-up in 2018: the "Nautical Chart" and "East Blue" models, re-releasing them as limited editions after several years. Each watch is priced at 64,900 JPY and is currently available for pre-order on the official website and the Toei Animation online store.
Tendence is a watch brand founded in Switzerland in 2007. Built on the concept of "Larger Than Life," its signature style features playful designs like oversized cases and rotating dials.
This free-spirited creativity naturally resonates with the adventurous and fun-filled world of "ONE PIECE." Their first collaboration in 2018, featuring the "Nautical Chart" and "East Blue" models, sparked a buying frenzy. The two brands have maintained a strong partnership, completing four collaborations to date.
This time, those two wildly popular collaboration watches are making a limited-edition comeback as "Batch N°2." They utilize Tendence's iconic "KingDome" series, known for its dramatically curved domed glass and a dial inside the case that rotates with your wrist movements.
What's more, this re-release comes with special commemorative limited-edition specs. The case back is engraved with a unique serial number and the "Batch N°2" designation. The re-release also features redesigned outer box packaging. As a bonus, each watch includes a special cleaning cloth, with designs varying by model.
▼ Nautical Chart Model (Limited to 300 units)
This model features a dramatically curved domed glass face, creating a three-dimensional look. The silicone strap boasts a wood-like color scheme, evoking a true nautical vibe.
The hands, designed to resemble a nautical chart, gently sway with your wrist movements, mimicking actual compass directions. Behind the hands, Tendence's markings are incorporated, alongside the iconic "Straw Hat Pirates" flag design.
▼ East Blue Model (Limited to 200 units)
This model takes the indispensable "ocean" from the "ONE PIECE" world as its design theme, capturing the grandeur of the sea through its three-dimensional form.
The dial features a ship's wheel at its center, with a fun mechanism that makes it spin with your wrist movements. A portion of the wheel is designed in red, and you can even use the direction it points to tell your fortune for the day, making it a truly unique design.
