The much-anticipated pre-order trailer of the action-adventure game Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has finally dropped ahead of its scheduled release on PlayStation 5. The trailer offers a glimpse of a watch worn by one of the in-game characters. As a nod to the watch’s design, Kojima Productions has teamed up with Swiss watchmaker Hamilton to create a limited-edition replica of the watch for real-world fans to own.
The blacked-out Hamilton timepiece is based on the timepiece worn by Neil in the game. It is strictly limited edition and scheduled to cost $1,495 when it releases with the Kojima Productions’ game on the same date, June 26, 2025. The Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Limited Edition Watch does not give away much about its iconic resemblance to a virtual timepiece until the glorious artistry of art director Yoji Shinkawa takes over.
Design: Hamilton
Part of Hamilton’s American Classic, the timepiece acknowledges its ties to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, when you reverse it, on the caseback (sadly the others may not believe in your fandom until you remove it from the wrist) but the watch does have a distinctive titanium case with black PVD treatment to flaunt. The Shinkawa magic etches the caseback with the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach logo along with Hamilton’s insignia to complete the aesthetics of the circular see-through section of the watch’s back.
On Hamilton’s website, the timepiece is officially titled the American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition. The automatic watch features a 13.7mm black titanium PVD case that measures 36mm x 48mm. The use of titanium for the case, according to the press release by Kojima Productions, “reduces the watch’s weight by 45 percent” and makes it “highly resistant to saltwater corrosion.”
Inside of the rectangular dial reside the three interesting time-telling hands without a date function. The hour and minute hands are loop-like and presented in a dark gray shade. But it’s the bold orange seconds hand and the 12 o’clock markers, that give this dramatically dark watch a vibrant appearance. The seven sapphire crystals – including the one large piece of the dial – add more substance to the timepiece’s design. The other six glass pieces protect the three cutouts each on either side of the dial. A slightly oversized crown on the right gives the otherwise symmetrical watch a deft bulge.
The Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Limited Edition Watch is powered by in-house H-10 automatic movement that offers it an 80-hour power reserve. Provided with a matching 28.5mm thick bracelet made of titanium, the watch has a water resistance of 50m. It will be limited to only 2,000 pieces worldwide, so if you like what you see, you may want to act fast!
