Blue Archive Hikari & Nozomi Model BA38HKNZ 2-Way Automatic Wristwatch

The Blue Archive Original Watch — Hikari & Nozomi Model (BA38HKNZ) is the third entry in Anideal's Blue Archive collaboration watch series, and its most ambitious yet. Where previous entries were quartz, this one is mechanical — powered by Miyota 82S5, a Japanese-made automatic movement with approximately 42 hours of power reserve. The brief is clear: a Blue Archive watch that feels like a gift from Hikari and Nozomi of Highlander Railway Academy, designed for daily wear but unmistakably theirs at every detail. The dial is clean and readable, with the school crest of Highlander Railway Academy as an applied logo, and a halo-motif seconds hand on the small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock. The open-heart complication at 8 o'clock reveals the balance wheel in motion — the mechanical heartbeat of the watch made visible. The see-through screw caseback carries the Highlander Railway Academy crest, allowing the Miyota 82S5 to be admired from the reverse. The easy-click leather strap swaps tool-free. The included 31cm attachment chain converts the watch into a pocket watch — a reference to the railway world that Hikari and Nozomi inhabit. Comes with an illustrated microfibre cloth featuring original artwork by 館田ダン. Pre-order period: August 31 – October 5, 2026. Ships from May 2027.

*Pre-Order! Estimated shipment from May 2027.*

Key Features:

• Miyota 82S5 Automatic — Open-Heart at 8, Small Seconds at 6: The 82S5 is a Japanese-made automatic movement with approximately 42 hours of power reserve on a full wind. The open-heart complication at 8 o'clock cuts through the dial to expose the balance wheel directly — the watch's mechanical pulse made visible as a design element. The small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock carries a halo-motif seconds hand, referencing the character design language of Blue Archive and ブルーアーカイブ -blue archive-.
• Highlander Railway Academy School Crest — Caseback & Applied Logo: The school crest of Highlander Railway Academy appears twice: as an applied logo on the dial, and engraved on the see-through screw caseback. The caseback is transparent, allowing full view of the Miyota 82S5 movement from the reverse. The crest faces the wearer each time the watch is removed from the wrist.
• 2-WAY Wristwatch + Pocket Watch — Included 31cm Attachment Chain: The watch includes a dedicated attachment accessory that converts it from a wristwatch into a pocket watch, complete with a 31cm chain. The transformation references the railway world that Hikari and Nozomi come from — conductor-style pocket watches are a natural visual language for Highlander Railway Academy. Easy-click strap system allows tool-free conversion.
• 館田ダン Original Artwork Microfibre Cloth — Purchase Bonus: Each purchase includes a microfibre cloth featuring original artwork by illustrator 館田ダン — a versatile everyday cloth usable on the watch, smartphones, or glasses.
• Boarding Pass-Style PVC Warranty Card: The warranty card is produced as a PVC card in the visual format of a railway boarding ticket — an in-universe design detail that places the watch firmly within the Highlander Railway Academy aesthetic. 1-year warranty from date of arrival.
