Kamen Rider 55th-anniversary watch launches in Japan
A new watch marks 55 years of Kamen Rider, the Japanese television franchise that began in 1971.
Released in Japan, the chronograph was made with watchmaker Fulton and has a green-and-red dial inspired by the original hero.
It combines the anniversary design with solar power and radio-controlled timekeeping, which adjusts the time using Japanese signals when reception allows.

The initial quantity is limited, but no total production figure has been announced.
