SuperGroupies Hajime Saito Model Watch
More actions
The SuperGroupies Hajime Saito Model Watch is a $235 officially licensed watch styled around Hajime Saito, the former Shinsengumi Third Unit captain of Rurouni Kenshin. A silver stainless steel case holds a deep blue dial with black and silver accents echoing Saito's coat, the kanji "悪即斬" (Aku Soku Zan, "Slay evil immediately") cut into its left side as if by his own blade, and the five variants of his Gatotsu thrust set as kanji around 12 through 4 o'clock. Twin subdials at 12 and 6 o'clock give the day and date in ancient Japanese numerals, the minute hand is shaped after Saito's katana, and the crown carries "誠" (Makoto, "Sincerity") from the Shinsengumi banner. Case, crown, and etched caseback are stainless steel, dial and hands are brass, the strap is black cow leather, and it runs on an Epson VX3P quartz movement under mineral crystal. SuperGroupies took pre-orders from 21 March to 7 April 2024 for October delivery, alongside the companion SuperGroupies Kenshin Himura Model Watch; it is licensed merchandise rather than a watch depicted in the anime.
