Get ready, *Lycoris Recoil* fans! A captivating collaboration has arrived, bringing you exquisite timepieces inspired by the beloved characters Nishikigi Chisato and Inoue Takina. Domestic watch manufacturer KENTEX Japan is proud to present these special collaboration watches, designed to be enjoyed “together with the two” in everyday life and even during outdoor adventures. Each of these authentic solar-powered models, adorned with their respective character colors, is a limited edition of just 300 pieces, and pre-orders are officially open!
*Lycoris Recoil* is an original TV anime that marked the directorial debut of Adachi Shingo, widely recognized for his exceptional character design and chief animation direction on popular series like *Sword Art Online* and the *WORKING!!* franchise. The captivating story follows the daring exploits of “Lycoris” agents, including the free-spirited and optimistic Nishikigi Chisato, and her cool, efficiency-driven companion, Inoue Takina. These agents work tirelessly for the clandestine organization DA (Direct Attack), carrying out missions to prevent crimes before they even begin.
When it first aired from July to September 2022, *Lycoris Recoil* quickly became a massive hit, amassing a huge fanbase despite being an original animation with no prior source material. Its popularity has since led to diverse adaptations, including novelizations, manga series, and even a stage play. Adding to its growing legacy, a series of six original short movies, titled *Lycoris Recoil Friends are thieves of time.*, were distributed from April to May 2025, further expanding its universe.
Cutting-Edge Features and Hidden Gimmicks
This latest “Lycoris Recoil × KENTEX Collaboration Watch” is the newest exciting release in the “&C” anime collaboration project, proudly presented by KENTEX. As a respected domestic watch brand, KENTEX is also known for producing reliable watches for Japan’s Self-Defense Forces, a testament to their commitment to quality and durability.
These collaboration watches are more than just stylish accessories; they are built for practical, everyday use. They feature a high-performance Japanese-made solar-powered movement, which means no more worrying about battery changes. Essential for any tactical timepiece, they offer exceptional readability and robust 100M water resistance. The design prioritizes user comfort and durability, with an integrated case that prevents the crown from digging into your wrist and leather reinforcement on the NATO strap holes to prevent fraying. Whether you’re navigating urban jungles or exploring the great outdoors, these watches are ready for anything.
But the true charm lies in a special, subtle gimmick: when the second hand reaches the 15-second mark, a luminous bullet trajectory, seemingly fired from a gun muzzle at the 3 o’clock position, glows vividly, adding a touch of LycoReco’s action-packed essence to your wrist.
Nishikigi Chisato Model: The Free-Spirited Red
The “Nishikigi Chisato Model” features a vibrant red dial, perfectly capturing Chisato’s energetic and free-spirited character color. The Lycoris school emblem is elegantly placed at the 12 o’clock position, while a distinctive silhouette of Chisato’s signature gun adorns the 3 o’clock mark. The second hand is specially designed to evoke Chisato’s non-lethal bullets, which beautifully complements the gun silhouette on the dial. Turning the watch over, the case back reveals the DA emblem, “Chisato” inscribed, and the unique serial number confirming its limited run of 300 units.
Inoue Takina Model: The Cool, Efficient Blue
For fans of the stoic and efficient Lycoris, the “Inoue Takina Model” boasts a sleek blue dial, reflecting Takina’s cool and composed demeanor. Similar to Chisato’s model, it features the Lycoris school emblem at 12 o’clock, with a striking silhouette of Takina’s gun positioned at 3 o’clock. The second hand is crafted to resemble Takina’s bullets, creating a cohesive visual with the gun silhouette on the dial. On the case back, you’ll find the DA emblem, “Takina” engraved, along with its individual serial number from the limited 300-unit production.
