Marvel and CITIZEN work in collaboration on a new limited-edition timepiece and box set that is meant to celebrate Spider-Man and his 60-year anniversary. The character has been beloved since he first made his debut back in 1962 in the AMAZING FANTASY #15.
To mark the special milestone, the duo launched a limited edition CITIZEN watch with an exclusive run of 1962 pieces to commemorate the year of his debut. It has a 43mm stainless steel case with red and blue aluminum at the ring held by a PU strap. Additional details include the blue 3-hand dial with a classic webbing emblem, the superhero's mask, and an etched design of Spider-Man at the back of the watch.
