Sega Launches Retro Watches Inspired by Gaming Consoles
Prepare to be tempted! Sega, in collaboration with SuperGroupies, has unveiled three distinct watches, each drawing inspiration from the brand's most iconic gaming consoles: the Mega Drive, the Saturn, and the Dreamcast.
The watch faces prominently feature emblematic elements from each console, complemented by stylized buttons and directional pads that echo their respective controllers. To further enhance the nostalgic appeal, these timepieces arrive in packaging reminiscent of the original console boxes.
If you're considering adding one of these to your collection (and who wouldn't want to?), they are priced at a relatively accessible 27,500 yen, which translates to approximately £130 / €150. Pre-orders will be open throughout August, with shipping expected in February. You can find more details on the official website.
