One of the least likely pieces of video game memorabilia to be announced in the year 2023 must be the 1942 watch.
However, thanks to a team-up by Capcom and Avi-8, fans of Capcom’s classic vertical scrolling shmup can now wear their love of the game on their sleeve (well, probably under their sleeve, to be exact.)
The limited edition 1942 watch comes in two colours, each limited to just 300 pieces: Blue Ace, and Black Ace.
Each 1942 watch costs £349.00, and both designs are available to order now, with shipping commencing from Friday 4th August 2023.
Sadly, the watches don’t seem to perform a special function at 7.42pm, which might have been a nice whimsical touch!
If the 1942 watch “takes off”, which other classic arcade games would ou like to see immortalised in timepiece form? Why not let us know your ideas in the comments if you’ve got the time?
