The Inspiration Behind The New Special Edition Watch
UFO Robot Grendizer also known as Goldorak, was a Japanese stealth anime series that aired for 74 episodes from 1975 to 1977. It was part of the vast Mazinger mecha universe and followed Duke Fleed and his powerful robot Grendizer while battling evil King, the Vega. The series became very popular, especially in Europe around the same time that Tissot introduced the original PRX in 1978. Even though the show ended a decade ago, the Grendizer has seen many revivals, the last is the Grendizer U, a remake of the original series that launched in July 2024. The Tissot new release is in line with this remake blending nostalgia for two iconic 1970s creations. As the brand puts it, the watch combines “two iconic characters from the 70s,” giving watch and anime fans a unique and playful timepiece that celebrates heritage and innovation.
Let’s Delve Deeper Into The Tissot New Release:
The Impeccable Case

This special edition watch is not limited to Tissot accuracy and its iconic heritage, it honors not only the 1970s icon but also pays homage to the anime series UFO Robot Grendizer and is a nostalgic treat for Grendizer fans and manga lovers, with the best of both worlds.
Part of the brand’s prestigious PRX collection, the watch stands out with a 40mm stainless steel case. At 10.9 mm thick and 44.25 mm lug-to-lug, the case features a smooth brushed finish, which is complemented by thin sapphire glass for added durability.

Whether you’re an anime fan or a watch collector, this beautifully crafted Swiss special edition watch delivers nostalgic hits, celebrating two iconic worlds in one.
The Manga Culture Celebratory Dial
The blue dial of the Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer watch is definitely the most interesting. What makes it especially unique is Grendizer’s embossed bust exposed with Tissot’s logo across his chest, reminiscent of Superman’s iconic “S” symbol. This subtle fusion of the anime image with depth and appeal is wonderful along with the classic PRX system. Around the rim, you’ll find the original Grendizer title branding subtly displayed inside, paying homage to the legendary anime series.
What really elevates the dial is the use of Super-Luminova, which makes the watch glow brilliantly in the dark. Although Grendizer’s glowing effect is a bit duller than the hand indexes, it adds a strong, distracting effect. The glow brings the entire dial to life, making it a statement both day and night.
Another unique feature of this special edition watch is the seconds hand designed to mimic Grendizer’s Harken armor as it sweeps across the dial. This small, thoughtful touch brings the whole piece together adding a new personality to the watch. For fans of Swiss watches and anime, this timepiece is a delightful blend of craftsmanship and nostalgia.
The Fierce Movement Inside

This movement is not only a testament to the brand’s dedication to precision but it also offers an impressive power reserve of 80 hours, thanks to 21,600 vibrations per hour (vph). What makes this Tissot new release watch even more exciting is the see-through mineral glass back allowing watch lovers to see what’s going on inside. The rotor also features an engraved portrait of Grendizer, creating a stunning combination of technical prowess and nostalgic design.
The Anime Addition To Legacy
