Chainsaw Man x GARRACK: Japan-Made Mechanical Watches with Awa Washi Dials Out 21 August

Japan-based watch brand GARRACK has announced four automatic mechanical watches inspired by Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, and they are a genuine step up from the smartwatch collaboration that came before. These are hand-crafted timepieces with dials made from traditional Japanese Awa washi paper — meaning no two watches will look exactly alike — going on sale 21 August 2026, with worldwide shipping available directly from the brand.

Four Characters, Four Watches

The collection covers four characters from the Reze Arc film, each as its own distinct automatic watch model with character-specific design details worked into the hands, indices, and dial motifs:

  • Chainsaw Man model (SMS-CM-41-C, 41×41mm) — saw-blade inspired indices ring the open-heart dial, with a character-specific detail at the 12 o’clock position. The overall feel is all Denji: raw and kinetic.
  • Hayakawa Aki model (SMS-CM-41-A, 41×41mm) — tobacco and earring motifs are worked into the dial, capturing Aki’s understated but layered character in metal and washi.

  • Bomb model (SMS-CM-40-B, 40×40mm) — explosive imagery runs through the dial design. At 40mm it sits slightly slimmer on the wrist than the Chainsaw Man and Aki models.
  • Makima model (SMS-CM-40-M, 40×40mm) — coffee cup and eye motifs reference Makima’s calm, controlled demeanour. Perhaps the most wearable of the four for everyday use.

The Awa Washi Dial — What Makes It Special

The standout feature of this collection is the dial material. GARRACK uses momizome-shi — a form of Awa washi paper made in Tokushima Prefecture — where artisans hand-crumple the sheet and steep it in two to three dye colours before finishing. The result is an irregular, layered texture that varies from piece to piece. As GARRACK explains on their special page, the irregular patterns inherent to crumpled dyed paper evoke the work’s intense, dynamic world.

Each dial is finished by hand, so colour intensity and texture will differ slightly between individual watches — which is the point. This is not mass-produced anime merch; it is genuinely bespoke craftsmanship tied to a cultural tradition. Backing the dial is a MIYOTA-manufactured automatic mechanical movement visible through the open-heart cutout. The case is stainless steel with mineral glass, rated 5 ATM water resistance.

How to Order — Worldwide Shipping Available

All four models are priced at ¥39,600 each (tax included) and go on sale on 21 August 2026 via GARRACK’s official special page at world-wide-watch.jp. International orders and worldwide shipping are confirmed — so Singapore fans can order directly without a proxy service. No local retail distribution has been announced; for Singapore buyers this is a direct-from-Japan import purchase.

This is GARRACK’s second Chainsaw Man collab — the earlier series in late 2025 used smartwatch technology — but the mechanical format with Awa washi dials is an entirely different product tier, aimed at collectors and watch enthusiasts rather than fitness-tracker fans. Previous GARRACK collabs in this S-MEISTER mechanical line have covered Ghost in the Shell, Demon Slayer, and Evangelion, and have historically sold out quickly on the brand’s web store.
