AVI-8 x Capcom Flyboy Watch

January 7, 20251 min read

Looking for a timepiece that’ll trigger a glorious flashback to your joystick-wielding days? Look no further than the AVI-8 x Capcom Flyboy Watch ($209). Inspired by CAPCOM’s legendary 1942 arcade game, this little slice of retro wonderment plonks pixel magic right onto your wrist. The 41mm stainless steel case houses a 3D moulded dial that channels those charmingly blocky 80s and 90s graphics, so you can pretend you’re forever blasting incoming enemies—just try not to pew-pew at the office water cooler. Under the hood beats a Seiko NH35 movement (that’s fancy talk for reliable Japanese engineering), offering a hacking function and over 41 hours of power reserve. The date complication sits at six o’clock, ready to remind you exactly how long you’ve been daydreaming of high scores. Limited to just a few hundred pieces, these Flyboy CAPCOM 1942 Automatic Pixel Editions are officially cooler than that cheat code you still remember. Game on.
