Someone’s got their eyes on the prize over at Capcom HQ, and knows there’s one heck of a lot of money to be made from exclusive Resident Evil merch. Yesterday saw a showcase focused around the imminent Resident Evil: Requiem, the main takeaway from which was a classic mode that takes us back to the days of ink ribbon saving, but another reveal was a pair of super-swish watches.<\/p>\n

A collaboration between Capcom and luxury watchmaker Hamilton, the watches have been seen on the wrists of dual protagonists Grace and Leon in the trailers (though I can’t say I especially noticed it because Leon was chainsawing a zombie doctor in half<\/em>). There are two models, only 2,000 will be made, and they will set you back a cool $1,475 for Grace’s watch, and $2,175 for Leon’s watch.<\/p>\n

Hamilton’s descriptions of the watches<\/a> are really something, the kind of thing only a very bored person who has nothing to do but sell watches would come up with. “Grace wears a unique American Classic Pan Europ that blends strength and sophistication with a gold-accented strap, geometric case-back motifs, and a bold gold-and-black dial.” Bold!<\/p>\n

As for the main man: “Leon wears a unique Khaki Field Auto Chrono, a rugged all-black timepiece with bullet-inspired pushers and a wing detail at 9 o’clock honoring fallen comrades.”<\/p>\n
