Limited-edition Gintama Seiko watch pays homage to the craziest crew in anime history
This stylish and simple timepiece, with its unified silver color scheme, is perfect for everyday wear. The comfortable band is made from stainless steel for everyday ease of use.
The watch face takes things up a notch. Crafted from beautiful mother-of-pearl, it subtly incorporates the kimono pattern of the series’ main character, Sakata Gintoki.
For a playful touch, the hour markers are replaced with icons featuring members of Gintoki’s crew, Yorozuya Ginchan.
At 12 o’clock, you’ll find a silhouette of Gintoki himself riding his scooter. Shinpachi Shimura’s glasses mark the 3 o’clock position, while Sadaharu leaves his paw print at 6 o’clock. And finally, Kagura’s iconic parasol can be found at 9 o’clock.
Another fun detail is the watch’s back cover. It’s engraved with a unique serial number and an image of the mysterious Justaway, a recurring gag character in the series.
To top it all off, the watch comes in a special commemorative box.

Gintama is a long-running sci-fi comedy manga and anime series. Created by Hideaki Sorachi, it ran in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 2003 to 2018, with additional chapters released later.
The anime adaptation followed in 2006, capturing the series’ blend of action, humor, and pop culture parodies.
The story takes place in Edo, Japan, but not as we know it. Aliens have invaded and taken control, leaving samurai like Gintoki Sakata, the silver-haired protagonist, jobless and forced to take on odd jobs for survival.
Despite the wacky premise, Gintama tackles themes of loyalty, honor, and finding your own way in a strange new world.
