Anicorn Watches has tapped NASA and gaming icon Hideo Kojima’s Kojima Productions studio in order to launch ‘Space Ludens,’ a watch inspired by the Ludens’ ‘Extra-Vechicular Activity (EVA) Creative Suit.’ The watch boasts a ‘mecha space armor’ design that sees the watch reimagined with a stainless steel case and bracelet, carbon fiber leather strap, and a sapphire crystal caseback with Miyota 8215 automatic movement.
The ‘Rare Edition,’ which will only be produced up to 100 times, features a wearable Ludens skull mask made with carbon fiber. The ‘Limited Edition’ comes with an individually-numbered metal plate, and the ‘Ludens Sacoche’ is designed in partnership with Syzygy, an outdoor gear company.
The Kojima Productions x NASA x Anicorn Watches ‘Space Ludens’ collection launches on the Anicorn Watches website at 8 a.m. on September 27.
