The iconic Berserk franchise has received an official collaboration in the form of brand-new wristwatches inspired by fated rivals Guts and Griffith, whose ever-shifting dichotomy is among the most acclaimed and complex in manga and anime history.
Amnibus has opened reservations for its latest collaboration with the popular Berserk franchise, featuring two new Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition watches inspired by Guts and Griffith. Guts’ watch comes in black and red, featuring a reference to the Eclipse with “The Promised Time Has Come,” taken further with the Brand of Sacrifice positioned at the midnight position. The Band of the Hawk emblem sits at the half-hour position. Griffith’s silver and blue watch features the same motifs but replaces the Brand of Sacrifice with a Crimson Behelit. Both cost 10,780 yen with tax (around US$70) and ship to 118 countries worldwide through the Buyee service. Readers can check out the images and more information below.
Berserk’s New Wristwatches Are Inspired by ‘Hero’ and ‘Villain’ Guts & Griffith
Amnibus’ Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition watches are made of mineral glass, with an alloy strap. The dial height and width measure 3.3 cm. The minimum wrist circumference is 10.5 cm. Reservations are open until Aug. 29, 2024, while shipment is expected to begin in mid-January 2025. The collection follows Amnibus’ past Berserk collaborations, including acrylic stands, mouse pads, keychains, AirPods cases and more.
These new Berserk timepieces join the recently announced Re:Zero watches inspired by Emilia, Rem and Ram and Attack on Titan watches inspired by Eren, Levi and Erwin, all by Amnibus. Excluding the Emilia Watch, all remain open for reservations. Rem and Ram’s versions are currently undergoing a second round of orders due to high demand; they’ll expire once a certain quantity is reached.

Studio Eclypse drops an English dubbed trailer for the ambitious Berserk: The Black Swordsman anime project, impressing with improved animation cuts.
Alongside the watches, Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition was recently commemorated in a new release by Crunchyroll. The Memorial Edition Blu-ray will be released on Aug. 27, 2024, and costs $52.49, currently down from its MSRP of $69.98. More generally, Berserk will receive a new anime series in an exciting fan project by Studio Eclypse. Berserk: The Black Swordsman premieres in 2025 and seeks to adapt the manga’s first arc, which was largely skipped across all other anime adaptations to date.
Fans can get the Berserk manga series from Dark Horse Comics, which has translated 41 out of the total 42 volumes as of writing. It’s officially described: “His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won’t take his fate lying down; he’ll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned – and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death…or vengeance.”
