The result is a profoundly industrial, almost brutalist design that’s entirely unlike any other Boulton ever made.
Instead of a delicate mirrored case and fine leather strap, this one has an angular PVD-coated titanium case with a matching link band. But it’s not just a material and color swap, either.
The case has also been restructured with a cage-like dome and a septet of antireflective sapphire crystal windows. Under it, the dial has also been blacked out with gunmetal indices and hands, save for its orange 12 o’clock marker and second hand.
Deliveries done
While the watch design is quite bold, Hamilton and Shinkawa were wise enough to keep the connection to the game more subtle.
The only visible reference to the game is on the exhibition caseback. Above the watch’s caliber H-10 automatic movement, the game’s logo is printed in its signature font.
