When Hamilton Watch collaborates, they go hard. The brand’s latest source of inspiration? Capcom’s latest video game, Resident Evil Requiem.
The ninth iteration in the game franchise was dropped today, Feb. 27, to widespread fanfare as the new game calls back to iconic characters and locations. Our heroes, rookie cop turned DSO agent Leon S. Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft, daughter of Resident Evil Outbreak character Alyssa Ashcroft, are tasked with heading back to Racoon City 30 years after its destruction. Their return is sparked by mysterious, sudden viral outbreaks in the Midwest.
Through this unique collaboration, both characters receive their very own Hamilton watches that can be seen throughout the new Capcom title on both characters’ wrists. Grace’s watch is an American Classic Pan Europ style retailing for $1,475.00, while Kennedy’s is a Khaki Field Auto Chrono model going for $2,175.00. Both watches are available to purchase now on Hamilton’s website. Be warned, though, these watches were launched in extremely small quantities, limited to 2,000 pieces, so competition to get your own will be quite stiff. It’s likely Resident Evil fans will snag them up quickly to add to their growing memorabilia collections.
The limited-edition American Classic Pan Europ is a black and gold model featuring a geometric case back meant to represent the character’s structured logic while navigating this complex mission, while the gold and black contrast symbolizes Grace’s “refined elegance with quiet power,” according to Hamilton. The watch is affixed with a crocodile-pattern leather strap, offering a grungy and textural element.
As for the internal properties of the piece, the watch is self-winding and has a three-hand automatic movement with a day-date function and a power reserve of over 80 hours. It’s a sophisticated piece with incredible attention to detail, with functionality and design choices all made to reflect the game’s heroine. If you’re a collector of Resident Evil merchandise or you’re just a lover of watches, we implore you to add this to your collection simply because it’s miles cooler than anything we’ve seen before. Most importantly, Hamilton’s watches are extremely durable, lasting years even after daily wear.
Kennedy’s watch is a darker model that reflects the iconic character’s expertise in the field as a highly-trained DSO agent. The all-black model features some insane details pulled right from Kennedy’s gear, like a wing dial inspired by the character’s in-game weapon.
The pushers, or push buttons on the side of the watch, are even shaped like bullet cartridges, giving the watch a tactical flair. Said pusher features a crown that is modeled after a sniper scope. These buttons on the side are used to operate secondary functions like starting, stopping, and resetting a stopwatch, or adjusting a complex calendar. Like the Grace model, Kennedy’s watch is also self-winding. Tactical pusher watches, like Kennedy’s, are specialized, durable timepieces that are often designed for military, law enforcement, and outdoor professionals, just like the character.
While these watches might be a splurge item, their limited quantity and high quality make the buy that much sweeter, knowing you’re one of a few folks who own this collaboration. Safe to say, you’ll have bragging rights amongst Resident Evil fans for years to come.
