Crusher Punch with the Tissot PRX Goldorak
The recent collaboration between the iconic Goldorak manga and Tissot gives a new definition to the term ‘space-time’ with a PRX edition dedicated to the legendary robot: the PRX Goldorak.
The scene is set: Wednesday afternoon, 4.30pm, chocolate croissant and glass of Coke, eyes riveted to the TV, channel 1, Club Dorothée programme. Here comes Goldorak, saviour of the galaxy. Only the real ones know and remember! And especially Tissot! To mark the launch of the new Goldorak U series, the watch brand is springing a surprise by unveiling its partnership with this legendary manga. On the programme: the new PRX Édition Spéciale Goldorak.
Two new-generation icons
Conquering a new generation, Tissot’s iconic 1970s watch, the PRX, and the legendary space robot, Goldorak, have joined forces to create an edition that is sure to excite. Inspired by the famous work of mangaka Go Nagai, season 1 of Goldorak U, released this year, brings together fans of the legendary cartoon and younger fans of Japanese manga. Tissot also shares this intergenerational desire by bringing together the pop culture and watchmaking design of the PRX of the 1970s with the more contemporary design of the 21st century.
The Tissot PRX Goldorak, in detail
The subtle 40 mm 316L steel piece features numerous details borrowed from the animated series. The dial in particular deserves attention.
Blue in colour, it is engraved with the bust of Goldorak, whose features come to life in the dark thanks to the outlines covered in yellow luminescent material. It is also punctuated by Super-Luminova®-coated hour-markers and baton hands, the seconds hand of which has a counterweight evoking the robot’s asteroache.
The discerning eye will also have spotted the words ‘UFOロボ グレンダイザー’ on the rehaut, corresponding to the manga’s orignal title. Water-resistant to 100 metres, this edition extends its power with a Powermatic 80 calibre featuring around 80 hours of power reserve and a non-magnetic Nivachron™ balance spring. Visible on the back through a transparent caseback, the rotor features the engraving of the space hero.
A setting from another galaxy
Served on an integrated interchangeable steel bracelet, characteristic of PRX, the watch is delivered in a special, ultra-original box.
It is housed in a box modelled on the Spazer, Goldorak’s spaceship. The box is printed with Go Nagai’s original drawings.
€895
