Welcome to the crossroads of anime nostalgia, engineering marvel, and grown-up wrist game. The Welly Merck x Mobile Suit Gundam collaboration isn’t just another slap-a-logo-on-it cash grab. It’s a fully operational fusion of horological precision and mecha madness.
In other words? This is Gundam for adults—and it’s here to flex.
In 2021, Gundam celebrated its 40th anniversary. You’d think the collabs would stop there, but no—Welly Merck went full Mobile Suit in their first-ever official timepiece crossover. The result? Three mechanical wristwatches forged in stainless steel and Gundam lore:
Each one features a 316L stainless steel case, sapphire crystal glass, and a Japan MIYOTA 82S7 automatic movement that ticks like the heart of a war machine. It’s all the complexity of your favorite mechanical anime hero… just in a 42mm wearable.
This isn’t “just a watch.” It’s a deep-cut reference machine.
Each dial is packed with design nods:
Bonus: look closely at the transparent case back, and you’ll see engraved unit head art—a true mech-head Easter egg for the observant.
Let’s talk packaging—because this isn’t some throwaway display box.
Each watch arrives in a Gundam model kit-inspired collector’s box, including:
No, you don’t need it.
Yes, you’ll love it anyway.
This collab stands out because it refuses to be juvenile. The bold colors are balanced with mature detailing. No cheesy decals. No toy-like shine. Just raw mechanical presence—with just enough character DNA to signal to other fans that you know your Zakus from your GMs.
So, yeah. This isn’t the watch you wore to anime club in high school.
This is the one you wear to the office because you’re still that kid, just with a better paycheck now.
Whether you’re rolling with the Gundam’s clean authority, the Red Comet’s flash, or the mass-production green beast, there’s a version of this timepiece calling your name. Just… try not to buy all three unless you’re trying to reenact Char’s Counterattack on your bank account.
Own your fandom in metal, gears, and luminous detail.
