2026 is a big year for the Ghost in the Shellfranchise, with its recent release of a brand-new anime series one that fans set their watches for. Now, they can do so in the Public Security Section 9 style through a hi-tech, cyberpunk timepiece based on the iconic anime brand.
The Garrack Ghost in the Shell: Fuchikoma Model Automatic Mechanical Watch combines modern luxury with futuristic appeal. Based on the series' AI-driven tank, it's just as much of a wearable piece of art as it is a piece of fandom. Pre-orders are now open, but the final stock is dwindling, meaning fans should hurry if they wish to put a piece of the future on their wrist.
Ghost in the Shell Fans Can Wear the Cyberpunk Future With a New Mechanical Watch
Produced by Japanese watch and lifestyle brand Garrack, the Ghost in the Shell: Fuchikoma Model Automatic Mechanical Watch represents the anime brand in stunning detail. Based on the Fuchikoma tank from the series, it subtly showcases this inspiration through its overall design and red color scheme.
The watch features an open-heart window on the Fuchikoma's right arm, with minute hands modeled after the mechanical tank's appendages. There's also a stainless steel caseback that preserves the internal machinery while allowing for personal engraving. It's constructed via Raden -- a Japanese process in which abalone and oyster shells are shaved and inlaid into lacquer. This creates dynamic visual shifts in the finished watch, with no two pieces being exactly the same.
The MIYOTA 82S0 automatic caliber powers the watch, providing a 42-hour power reserve that is naturally charged by the motion of the wearer's wrist. This emphasizes both luxury and the hi-tech nature of the franchise it's based on. Measuring 42 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness, it weighs about 0.15 lbs., with a high-clarity mineral glass crystal, a stainless steel case and a premium genuine leather strap.
Currently available to pre-order, even internationally, through websites such as Hobby-Genki for around US$540, it will be released by the end of the month, which is likely why supplies are already running out for this high-end collectible. Garrack has also produced watches and other items for major anime franchises, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, Demon Slayer and One Piece, offering a pricey yet premium line of merchandise for these fandoms.
The Ghost in the Shell franchise began nearly three decades ago as a manga series and has since spawned numerous anime and movie adaptations. 2026 is a particularly special year for the franchise thanks to the release of the new anime, The Ghost in the Shell. Animated by Science Saru of Dandadan fame, the series aims to more accurately adapt the manga source material compared to previous iterations.
