Detail
Released by SuperGroupies in 2017 as a made-to-order limited edition, this official collaboration watch is inspired by Yugi Muto, the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. Combining an exceptionally original design with deep respect for the series, it is a memorable collector's piece unlike any conventional wristwatch.
The watch's most striking feature is its three-dimensional equilateral triangular case—a shape rarely seen in traditional watchmaking. Finished in brilliant gold plating, it faithfully recreates the sacred appearance and substantial presence of the Millennium Puzzle, the legendary Ancient Egyptian artifact worn by Yugi throughout the series.
The dial itself is sculpted to resemble the intricate golden surfaces of the Millennium Puzzle. Rather than using conventional numerals or hour markers, the design intentionally omits all indices to preserve the puzzle's iconic appearance. Against this minimalist backdrop, the two solid brass hands quietly mark the passage of time, evoking the timeless legacy of the Millennium Puzzle and the ancient history it represents.
The leather strap is equally rich in symbolic detail. The black upper surface is inspired by the dark inner shirt and belts that form Yugi's signature outfit, while the navy blue lining references the uniform of Domino High School. Together, these contrasting colors beautifully express the duality at the heart of Yugi's character—the gentle, kind-hearted student and the ancient spirit of the nameless Pharaoh, Atem, who resides within him.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this model is its unique transformable design. The watch head can be easily detached from the strap and attached to the included approximately 70 cm (27.6 in.) chain, allowing it to be worn around the neck exactly like Yugi's Millennium Puzzle. This ingenious feature lets owners enjoy the piece not only as a stylish wristwatch but also as a highly authentic wearable replica of one of anime's most iconic artifacts.
The stainless steel case back is engraved with a special 20th Anniversary logo commemorating the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, adding further significance to this already exceptional collector's item and enhancing its appeal to Duelists around the world.
Beyond its outstanding design, the watch is powered by the reliable Japanese MIYOTA 5R32 quartz movement, providing excellent accuracy, dependable performance, and straightforward long-term maintenance.
With its extraordinary transformable construction, faithful recreation of the Millennium Puzzle, and premium craftsmanship, this limited-edition watch is far more than a timepiece—it is one of the most distinctive and collectible Yu-Gi-Oh! collaboration watches ever produced.
