I absolutely love when elegance and nerdery come together in blissful harmony, and nobody understands that better than premium watch brand Hamilton. It already has other precision-crafted timepieces inspired by blockbuster games like Call of Duty, Far Cry 6, and Death Stranding 2—each one distinct while resonating with each game's unique style and flair.
This one might just be Hamilton's best work yet, though. To coincide with Resident Evil Requiem's global release, the Swiss watchmaker is releasing not one, but two watches inspired by the game's main protagonists.
They're both fantastic, utterly striking pieces. The first one channels long-time series staple Leon Kennedy: A character-driven Khaki Field Auto Chrono with a sleek-yet-tactical all-black design, bullet-cartridge-inspired pushers, and a wing motif right on the nine o'clock. You might just recognise that motif as being the very same one adorning the grip of his iconic weapon. It's the perfect watch for Leon's action-driven style.
The second watch encapsulates Requiem's second protagonist (and series newcomer) Grace Ashcroft with the American Classic Pan Europ. It's a strong, sophisticated design—the noir face and strap are punctuated by gold accents, with a geometric case-back which really resonates with her analytical mindset as an FBI agent, and her pinpoint precision.

Both watches are automatic, too, with up to a 60-hour and 80-hour power reserve respectively.. When time is the main character in both Resident Evil and real life, you want to make sure it's working with you, not against you. And to top it all off, they'll each come in exclusive Resident Evil Requiem packaging.
The best part? These two timepieces also happen to be the exact watches Requiem's protagonists wear in-game, so you'll be able to bring a little bit of Leon or Grace with you wherever you go in the real world.
Want to snag one of these limited-edition, character-driven pieces for yourself? The Resident Evil Requiem Hamilton collection goes live on February 27, the same day as the game's launch. The Leon Kennedy-inspired Khaki Field Auto Chrono retails for £1,800 GBP/£2,175 USD, while Grace Ashcroft's American Classic Pan Europ costs £1,170/$1,475 USD.
Be quick, though! Each watch is limited to just 2,000 units apiece, making this a collaboration you won't want to miss. Find your nearest authorised dealer or boutique stocking these watches on the Hamilton x Resident Evil website.
