The ANICORN x SEGA MegaDrive/Genesis Limited Edition is a collaboration timepiece created with the namesake brand's retro video game console in mind for nostalgic consumers to admire. The watches come in three regionally exclusive iterations that are each inspired by the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis video game console for a truly retro style aesthetic. The watches are accented by retro pixel font and sleek curves that give them the appearance of being both futuristic and retro all at once.

The ANICORN x SEGA MegaDrive/Genesis Limited Edition comes in US, Japan and European-exclusive models, which are each priced at $800 USD each. The timepieces each come in special packaging that further calls to mind the console construction and come with a metal numbered plate with booklet.
