Hamilton American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition
Hamilton and Kojima Productions jointly created a special edition American Classic Boulton watch for Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
Visionary video game creator Hideo Kojima’s releases are among the most anticipated titles in both gaming and culture. Calling on world class actors like Norman Reedus and Léa Seydoux to portray characters, Kojima’s work pushes the narrative and experiential boundaries of gaming.
Hamilton partnered with the storytelling pioneer to create an in-game watch for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, the follow-up to his award-winning and genre-bending masterpiece Death Stranding.
Hamilton worked closely with renowned art director Yoji Shinkawa to create the futuristic, Boulton-inspired Limited Edition that reflects the techno-apocalyptic environment of DEATH STRANDING. Shinkawa, as he did for many of Kojima’s works in the past, has led the art direction for this title series and incorporated Kojima’s imagination into an actual watch in this newest instalment.
Design cues from the Boulton are seen in the sleek, arching lines of the titanium case with black PVD treatment. Combining durability with a rugged yet refined look, titanium reduces the case’s weight by 45 percent and is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion.
The watch features seven sapphire crystals: one primary viewing window with two columns of three on each side matching the lines of the case. The unique, never-before seen case shape makes for dynamic, ever-shifting shadows and bending of light. Minimalist grey indicators on the face are set off with a contrasting orange lacquered seconds hand and 12 o’clock index.
Looped hour and minute hands reference the sapphire design and bring lightness to the face. The black PVD titanium bracelet further underscores the sleek yet durable, technical appeal of the watch.
The three-hand automatic 25-jewel movement features an 80-hour power reserve. True to the watch’s apocalyptic narrative origins, a Nivachron™ balance spring offers enhanced resistance to magnetic fields, changes in temperature and shocks.
Limited to just 2,000 pieces with individual case back numbering, the watch features collectable packaging inspired by narrative elements from the game as well as a bespoke cleaning cloth unique to the collaboration.
The American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition is set to release in June in connection with the release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
