THE ULTIMATE CULT PIECE!
It’s impossible not to be enthralled by this creation adorned with a depiction of one of the galaxy’s most famous robots! Once again, Tissot’s all the rage with its PRX.
Since it was broadcast from 1978 onwards in Europe under the name of Grendizer, Yūfō Robo Gurendaizā, literally “UFO Robot Grendizer”, also known as “Goldorak” in France, became a cult series for a whole generation. The same year, a sporty-looking icon, Tissot‘s Seastar Quartz, was rolled out. In 2021, this watch rose like a phoenix in the guise of the PRX driven by a powerful selfwinding movement. Thanks to the TV production of a reboot of the series, Grendizer U, the Swiss brand brings the two pop phenomena together for the first time ever in an unprecedented creation brought to life by Caliber 80, the PRX UFO Robot Goldorak.
This new model has everything it takes to become an intergenerational standard-bearer. The bust of the famous armed giant is portrayed on the stellar-blue dial. A pair of hour and minute hands, along with a direct-drive boasting a haken-shaped tip hover over this depiction. The engraving set off with yellow-glowing Super-LumiNova® paint rules supreme in the dark whilst intense green dazzles on the hands and tapered markers. On the upper edge of this spectacular scenography, the wording “UFO ロボ グレンダイザー”, the title of the original version of the animated series, discreetly conjures up the exclusiveness of the piece. Another representation of Grendizer adorns the rotor visible through the sapphire-crystal caseback. Last but not least, its case takes on the features of the Spazer, the protective robot’s red and white spaceship.
