In the world of horology and high-stakes mecha, timing is everything. To mark the 30th anniversary of the cultural phenomenon Neon Genesis Evangelion, lifestyle brand RADIO EVA has launched “The 30″—a brutalist collection of 30 collaborations across 30 categories. The undisputed crown jewel of this series is the RADIO EVA “The 30” × SEIKO EVA-01 Diver’s Watch, a timepiece that blends Seiko’s 60-year diving heritage with the bio-mechanical soul of the EVA-01.
This isn’t just a watch; it’s a 45mm stainless steel and black-plated chassis for your wrist. The aesthetic is pure Unit-01: a menacing purple and green palette that commands attention. Every detail is a love letter to the franchise—the 12 o’clock marker features the EVA-01’s head, while the 2 and 10 o’clock positions mimic the unit’s iconic chest plates. Most striking of all is the second hand, forged in the unmistakable silhouette of the Spear of Longinus.
Built for the “Third Impact” and beyond, the watch features a rugged silicone band and Hardlex crystal, housing a Seiko automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve. With a global release priced at approximately $1,268, this is an elite-tier collectible. However, the stakes are high: only 300 units exist worldwide. For the fan who wants to pilot their schedule with the precision of a NERV officer, this is the ultimate tactical upgrade. Just remember—don’t run away from this drop; once they’re gone, they’re gone.
