To mark the release of 'Trails in the Sky the 1st', the full remake of 'The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC', Fulton Japan is selling a pocket watch modeled on the game's Tactical Orbment. Pre-orders open September 1, 2026 at 10:00 AM on the Fulton Japan official online store. The lineup has three models, each tied to a main character: Estelle, Joshua, and Scherazard. Every model embeds that character's distinct quartz layout and orbment circuit into the watch face. The circuit glows in the dark after absorbing light, evoking the moment orbment energy flows through the device. The hunter case carries the Bracer Guild emblem as a three-dimensional metal engraving, finished with an antique brown tone and aging treatment meant to recall a bracer's worn gear. Each model is limited to 2,025 units, with edition numbers 1 to 2025 engraved on the case back; numbers are assigned randomly and cannot be chosen. The package includes a special watch case and an original guarantee card featuring each character's illustration. The watch uses a MIYOTA 2035 quartz movement, measures roughly 60mm by 46mm by 14mm, weighs about 60g, and costs 16,500 yen including tax. Release is scheduled for mid-February 2027.
