Time Meets Titan: The Welly Merck x Gundam Mechanical Watch Collection

Close-up of Welly Merck Gundam Zaku II watch with red dial, exposed mechanical movement, and Zeon insignia under sapphire glass.

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.


Mechanical Romance, Built for Battle

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:

  • RX-78-2 White Devil (a.k.a. the OG Gundam)
  • Char’s Zaku II (Red Comet)
  • Green Mass-Production Zaku (MS-06F)

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.


Design That Speaks Fluent Gundam

This isn’t “just a watch.” It’s a deep-cut reference machine.

Each dial is packed with design nods:

  • The Gundam model integrates the classic V-fin faceplate, Earth Federation logos, and color-sparing metallic finishes for a more mature, serious vibe.
  • The Zaku models take it up a notch with mono-eye subdials, Zeon logos, and armor-inspired texture work. Even the crowns are color-coded (green or red) to match the suits they rep.

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.


Yes, It Comes With Cool Stuff

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:

  • A metal unit insignia badge
  • A mini helmet headpiece
  • And yes—a multicolor LED display stand that doubles as a mecha shrine for your workspace

No, you don’t need it.
Yes, you’ll love it anyway.


Watch Features Breakdown (aka why this isn’t just cosplay for your arm)

  • Movement: Automatic & hand-wind (Japan MIYOTA 82S7)
  • Glass: Sapphire crystal (aka, it doesn’t scratch if you bump into reality)
  • Water Resistance: 10 ATM (Dive-rated. Or dramatic rain scene rated.)
  • Straps: Choose your weapon – 316L steel or Italian cowhide leather
  • Dial Details: 24H subdial, seconds subdial, open-heart movement view
  • Back: Transparent caseback with mechanical movement on display

A Watch for the Fan Who Actually Grew Up

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.


Final Thought: Which One’s For You?

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.
