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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prx-collection). The Tissot PRX Grendizer appeals to fans alike as it merges premium Swiss watchmaking design with [manga culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spinnaker-fleuss-chronograph-spongebob-squarepants-eyedial) all at once.
