[Seiko](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-x-sega) has created a new collection of game-themed watches, which are designed after the popular title 'Monster Hunter.' The game-themed watches were created in order to mark the franchise's 15th anniversary, where each watch is modelled after a character in the game. The line of watches will be released on October 25th through the [Seiko website](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-and-pepsi), and each model will be priced at $140 USD.

All of the watches will have a leather strap, and also a special symbol located at the 6 o’clock location, that is a reference to the 50-minute time restrictions in the game. One of the models is titled ‘Rioerus’ and it features a red color theme. While the other is titled the ‘Zinogre’ and it features a blue design. Lastly the ‘Nergigante’ version has two different colors.
