Tissot Unveils New UFO Robot Grendizer

Claims of UFO sightings happen almost everyday. But official news just in, there’s an actual UFO landing on Earth… but not how you might expect. Manga fans rejoice as the Swiss watchmaker, Tissot, brings the infamous UFO Robot Grendizer to your wrist.

An icon of 70s manga pop culture, this alliance marks a new chapter for Tissot, bringing a hint of nostalgia to your fingertips with a special edition mode. An alliance of heritage names, manga arrested hearts across Europe from 1978, while Tissot emerged with the infamous PRX that same year. Ask any avid watch collector today, and they’ll know the timepiece we’re talking of.

Marrying the two worlds together, Tissot nods to the halcyon days of yesteryear with a bold 40mm offering in stainless steel. Paired with a blue dial that showcases the silhouette of the Grendizer (a giant monster robot for the uninitiated) is one to add to the list for any animation fans looking for a fitting grail.

Offering an 80-hour power reserve – think of the Manga viewing time possible – it boasts high precision and reliability, with water resistance up to 10 bars. Matched with the comfort of a 70s-inspired metal bracelet, it promises comfort while you admire Grendzier both on screen and on the wrist.

But Tissot doesn’t just stop there, however. You couldn’t lean into the eccentricities of this animated universe without a unique watch box to accompany it now, could you? So the Swiss stalwarts have done just that, creating a spaceship inspired setting, which die hard stans will recognise as the Spazer. Inclusive of original drawings by Grendzier’s creator, Go-Nagai, this timepiece speaks to a watches ability to assimilate different disciplines and bring creative worlds together. So know that wherever you go, you don’t have to just wear your heart on your sleeve, but your hobbies too. Let the manga marathon commence.
