To celebrate the iconic 45th anniversary of the beloved Japanese manga and anime series Kinnikuman, Seiko is excited to launch a special limited edition watch that honors this milestone!
Kinnikuman, created by the duo Yudetamago—Yoshinori Nakai and Takashi Shimada—first appeared in Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1979. The series quickly garnered acclaim, becoming one of Japan's best-selling manga with over 77 million copies sold by 2021. Following the journey of Kinnikuman, a clumsy superhero from the planet Kinniku, readers have enjoyed a blend of comedy, action, and superhero parody as he battles formidable opponents known as Chojin (supermen) to prove his worthiness for the throne.
Now, after 45 years of thrilling pro-wrestling action, Kinnikuman fans can celebrate with an official watch supervised by Yudetamago. The **SEIKO Kinnikuman collaboration watch** is limited to 1979 pieces, a nod to the year of Kinnikuman's debut.
A Tribute to Kinnikuman’s Legacy
This striking timepiece is designed for fans who appreciate both wrestling and exceptional craftsmanship. The watch features three subdials that represent Kinnikuman’s signature moves: the Kinniku Buster, the Kinniku Driver, and the iconic “meat” Japanese character on his forehead. The blue dial bursts with dynamic lines reminiscent of manga panels, evoking memories of Kinnikuman’s epic battles and triumphs.
At the 12 o’clock position, you’ll find the gold KIN mark, symbolizing the Kinniku clan. Rather than overwhelming the design, Seiko has incorporated these elements with a refined touch, ensuring the watch maintains a sophisticated look suitable for adult fans—many of whom are likely to be Gen-X enthusiasts.
Exclusive Features
The back cover of the watch is engraved with the Kinnikuman logo and a unique edition number, adding to its collector’s appeal.
Each watch comes in a stunning blue box adorned with Kinnikuman’s golden KIN mark. Upon opening the box, you’ll discover a beautifully illustrated hand-drawn image of Kinnikuman by Yudetamago, along with the artist's autograph. This isn’t just a packaging; it’s a collectible display piece for any true Kinnikuman fan.
