This limited edition is much more than just a timepiece; it’s a genuine tribute to an era when science fiction and watchmaking came together to offer dreams of escapism.It was born from a galaxyCreated by mangaka Go Nagai, Goldorak saw the light of day in Japan in 1975 before conquering France in 1978. The animated series tells the story of Actarus, an extraterrestrial prince exiled on Earth, who battles the forces of evil at the controls of his giant robot. Goldorak quickly became a social phenomenon, making a lasting impression with its epic battles, endearing characters and universal values. His success paved the way for other Japanese animated series in France, helping to popularize manga and anime culture.A design inspired by the Goldorak universeThe design of this watch is an ode to the Goldorak universe. Its midnight-blue dial, recalling the infinity of space, is enhanced by Goldorak’s bust, crafted in yellow-green Super-LumiNova for bewitching luminescence in the dark. The hands, meanwhile, echo the aesthetic codes of the giant robot, notably the asteroax, the famous robot’s emblematic weapon for fighting enemies. The 40 mm stainless steel case, with its clean, slightly “tonneau” lines, is inspired by the aesthetic codes of sports watches from the 70s, while offering optimal comfort on the wrist. We appreciate seeing the inscription “UFOロボ グレンダイザー” on the flange, in homage to the official name of the animated series.A precise and robust movementPowered by the Powermatic 80 caliber, an automatic mechanical movement renowned for its reliability and precision, the Tissot PRX Goldorak offers an 80-hour power reserve.
