In collaboration with gaming legend Capcom®, AVI‑8 brings the arcade classic “1942” to the wrist — a daring crossover of aviation heritage and 8‑bit nostalgia. With a layered 3D pixelated dial that echoes the original shooter’s battlefield visuals, bold luminous indices and a robust case design, this limited‑edition is as playful as it is performance‑driven. Each variant is limited to 200 pieces and carries that retro‑meets‑runway aura perfect for collectors and casual wearers alike.
The case is finished in stainless steel, sized at approximately 46mm in diameter, 13.8mm thick, with a lug‑to‑lug of ~56mm. It features a 22mm strap width and is equipped with sapphire crystal with anti‑reflective coating. Water resistance is 5 ATM, and each piece is built on a Japanese automatic movement with date.
Powered by a reliable Japanese automatic movement that supports hours, minutes, seconds and date, this watch blends mechanical function with collectible flair. Whether you’re drawn by the pixel art dial, the gaming inspiration, or the bold proportions, this AVI‑8 x Capcom® 1942 Pixel Limited Edition delivers personality with precision.
