Kamen Rider Collaboration

Tendence was founded in 2007 in Lugano, Switzerland. Guided by the philosophy of 'Larger Than Life (Enriching Life)', the brand has consistently pursued bold and innovative designs. This unique aesthetic resonates deeply with the 'Kamen Rider' franchise.

In 2025, the 25th-anniversary model of 'Kamen Rider Kuuga' (limited to 200 pieces) received widespread acclaim, followed by the 25th-anniversary model of 'Kamen Rider Agito' and the 20th-anniversary model of 'Kamen Rider Kabuto'. Now, Tendence introduces the 55th-anniversary model of the original 'Kamen Rider'—a special edition continuing the brand’s legacy of anniversary collaborations.

Special Model Celebrating 55 Years of Kamen Rider

This model honors the 55th anniversary of the original 'Kamen Rider' series, which debuted in 1971.

To recreate the iconic transformation belt 'Typhoon' of Kamen Rider 1, Tendence has selected its 'KingDome' model as the base, known for its rotating dial. The dial, designed to resemble the windmill dynamo at the center of the Typhoon belt, spins with the movement of the wearer’s wrist.

What is 'KingDome'?

'KingDome' is a uniquely conceived watch that uses the 'rotor'—a component typically found in automatic mechanical watches—as a design element, despite being a quartz timepiece. Launched in 2016, it gained significant attention and became a signature series for Tendence. Inspired by the dome roof of the German Reichstag building, it features a domed crystal, a rotating dial, and three-dimensional indexes rising along the curve of the dome.

A Design Balancing Playfulness and Sophistication

The three-dimensional indexes and domed crystal create a classic, weighty impression. While playfully capturing the world of Kamen Rider 1, the design maintains a refined and cohesive aesthetic, making it suitable for adult wearers.

Rotating Dial Inspired by the Windmill Dynamo

The rotating dial is styled after the windmill dynamo. It spins with the motion of the wrist, evoking the image of Kamen Rider 1 transforming using wind power.

Beneath the rotating dial, logos of Tendence and Tachibana Racing are placed, subtly revealed as the dial moves.

Powerful Presence Meets Comfortable Wearability

Tendence’s signature oversized silhouette delivers strong visual impact, while the high-grip silicone strap and lightweight nylon case ensure comfortable wear throughout the day.

Worldwide Limited Edition of 255 Pieces with Engraved Serial Number

The case back features a special commemorative logo celebrating Kamen Rider 1’s 55th anniversary.

Additionally, each of the 255 limited pieces is individually engraved with a serial number.

Includes a Special Design Sleeve

The model comes with a specially designed sleeve adorned with Kamen Rider 1’s visual and the 55th-anniversary logo. This collector’s edition set enhances the sense of exclusivity, both as a timepiece and as a display item.
