“Detective Conan” wristwatches from a collaboration with SEIKO have been released. A total of 3 designs, inspired by Haibara Ai, Gin, and Bourbon, are available on “PREMICO Online Shop”.
Based on the comic by Aoyama Gosho, “Detective Conan” is a very popular work that has been adapted into various media, including TV anime. The theatrical series began with “Detective Conan: The Time Bombed Skyscraper” in 1997, and gained a wide range of popularity from children to adults just like the original comic and TV anime. The “theatrical series” has become a staple in the movie lineup for the Golden Week movies nowadays.
The latest “Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine” takes place at the Pacific Buoy, an offshore facility near Hachijo Island, Tokyo, which has been built to connect security cameras owned by police forces around the world. A dark shadow creeps in Conan and Haibara Ai over a “new technology”.
The calm, smoky-colored dial has a subtle pattern that emerges depending on the angle from which the light hits it. On the lower-middle, a triangular flask（Haibara Ai Model）, a bottle of Gin （Gin Model）, and a bottle of Bourbon（Bourbon Model）are designed as a small illustration. For the index on the dial, only the numbers associated with each are arranged in Arabic numerals.
All the designs will come in a special box with a transparent window with each character’s name foil-stamped. They also come with about 15-16 cm long acrylic stand, featuring original illustrations of Haibara Ai, Gin, and Bourbon.
