GARRACK x EVANGELION Raden Watches — Pre-Orders Open 12 June

Japan-made watchmaker GARRACK is bringing Neon Genesis Evangelion to your wrist — and the dial work alone makes this worth your attention.

International shipping is available, so Singapore fans can order direct.

What Is the GARRACK EVANGELION Raden Watch Collection?

GARRACK is a Japanese character-collaboration watch brand distributed by Ueni Trading. Their speciality is pairing popular IP with traditional Japanese crafts — and for Evangelion they have gone with raden (螺鈿), the ancient technique of inlaying iridescent abalone shell onto lacquerwork.

Each dial is hand-finished by a fourth-generation raden artisan in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture — one of Japan’s most respected lacquerware regions. Because natural shell is used and every piece is applied by hand, no two watches are identical. The iridescent surface shifts colour with the angle of light, so the watch is never quite the same twice in different lighting.

Three EVANGELION Units, Three Distinct Dials

The collection covers the three lead Evangelion units, each with its unit designation at a unique index position on the dial:

  • Unit-01 (Ref. SMS-EVA-41-1) — ¥77,000 tax-included (approx. SGD 640)
  • Unit-02 (Ref. SMS-EVA-41-2) — ¥79,200 tax-included (approx. SGD 660)
  • Unit-00 (Ref. SMS-EVA-41-0) — ¥79,200 tax-included (approx. SGD 660)

The Unit-01 numeral sits at the 1 o’clock position, Unit-02 at 2 o’clock, and Unit-00 at 12 o’clock. A.T. Field-inspired indices run around each dial, and the see-through case back carries the NERV emblem — a detail that lands especially well in person.
