The Anicorn Space Ludens watch is a limited-edition collaboration between Anicorn Watches and Kojima Productions that draws inspiration from the futuristic EVA Creative Suit worn by Ludens, the studio's mascot created by Yoji Shinkawa. Housed in a 42mm 316L stainless steel case, the mechanical watch features a monochrome dial, exposed bezel screws, Super-LumiNova hands and markers, and NASA's iconic "worm" logo. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and 50-meter water resistance round out the industrial-inspired design.
Powering the watch is a Miyota 8215 automatic movement with 21 jewels and a transparent exhibition caseback that showcases the mechanics inside. The timepiece is paired with a black FKM rubber strap and arrives in custom collector packaging, with each watch individually numbered. Anicorn also offers a Space Ludens with Ludens Mask VIP Edition, limited to 100 pieces.
