Licensed watches usually stop at a logo on the dial. This one reverses the hour indices and builds the dial around the idea.
Verdict
| What it is | Code Vein II × Anideal “Battle Axe: Idris's Pride” — a game-collaboration watch with a skeleton dial |
| Price | ¥29,700 (Ueni Trading) |
| Availability | Second pre-order run Oct 26 – Dec 14, 2026; deliveries from March 2027 |
| The angle | The Roman indices run in reverse order around the dial — laid out that way for the game's time travel. The hands still turn clockwise. |
| Verdict | A design object for people who know the game. The wait is part of the price. |
What it is
Anideal's collaboration with Code Vein II, sold through Ueni Trading: a gold-tone 40mm case, a gilt Miyota 8N40 under a skeleton dial, and an hourglass worked into the small seconds. The detail that earns its place here is the chapter ring — Roman hour indices in reverse layout, XII at top, then XI, X, IX descending clockwise, a nod to the game's time travel. To be precise about it, because the internet won't be: the layout is reversed; the movement and hands run normally.
Why it matters
Game-collaboration watches are usually a logo on a stock case. This one commits to a single strange idea and builds the dial around it. Whether or not the game means anything to you, a reversed index ring on a skeletonised gilt movement is a real design decision — and it's priced like merchandise, not like a limited edition playing dress-up.

What to check before buying
- It's a pre-order. You pay in this window for delivery from March 2027. Read Ueni Trading's cancellation and shipping terms before ordering.
- Japan-side ordering. The listing is in yen through a Japanese store; international shipping and duties are separate questions — confirm them at checkout.
- Value is design + licence, not movement. The 8N40 is a workhorse Miyota. That's fine at ¥29,700; just don't price it as anything else.
- Gold-tone finish. Plated tones wear through at edges over years; it's a fashion finish, priced accordingly.
