As you would have expected, the watch doesn’t come cheap and retails for 58,000 yen. Its limited because only 3,500 watches will be produced.

I was just thinking, if human were to reach space age, would we still need to wear watches? Following the advent of smartphones, I think already less and less people are wearing watches.

The design of Unit 03 looks really good and I guess thats because of its darker colors. Quite tempted to preorder this watch but its too expensive >_<

Now Quad Elements is set to release their latest watch based on Unit 02.

The watch is set to be release in September and will be retailing for 24,990 yen. If you are a big fan of Asuka, then you should hurry because this watch is just limited to 500 pieces.

This color does make the watch look pretty cool. But then again I’m not a big fan of the color red.
