The Gundam Fan Club has teamed up with Casio for an exciting new project, launching the G-SHOCK x GUNDAM Principality of Zeon Model exclusively for its premium members. This special watch is inspired by the Principality of Zeon, a key element in the Mobile Suit Gundam universe, and features design elements from the recognizable Zaku II mobile suit.
Design and Features
The watch sports a military-inspired olive-green exterior made from durable resin, and includes an LED backlight that illuminates the Zeon emblem on its face. Additionally, this emblem is etched into the stainless steel back. This G-SHOCK model is available through a lottery for fan club members only. Those fortunate enough to win can purchase it for ¥22,000 (around $153), with shipping slated to begin in March 2025.
Durability and Functionality
Not only is this watch visually appealing, but it also offers impressive durability. It features shock resistance and is water-resistant up to 20 atm. Moreover, it comes equipped with several handy tools, including a stopwatch, timer, alarms, and a multi-function LED light. The battery is designed to have a lifespan of five years.
Lottery Details and Future Releases
This special edition watch will be available through a lottery system from September 30, 2024, until October 27, 2024. Fans interested in purchasing should apply during this timeframe, after which deposits will be collected. To maintain its exclusivity, it will be limited to one per person.
For those keen on showing their Zeon pride, they should stay tuned for upcoming Gundam-themed accessories that are expected to be announced soon, which will complement this watch launch, according to various reports.
