Tissot breaches into a new realm as it creates a timepiece inspired by the Japanese UFO Robot Grendizer, which is a show from the 70s that made its way across Europe and the Middle East. The Japanese anime series was also known as Goldorak and it was running from 1975 to 1977 with 74 episodes released.
Now, the timepiece nods to the past era as a part of the PRX collection. The Tissot PRX Grendizer appeals to fans alike as it merges premium Swiss watchmaking design with manga culture all at once. The new collection highlights the inspiring design as it is crafted from a sunburst blue dial cased inside a 40mm steel case measuring 10.9mm in thickness.
