Citizen Watch Co. announced its partnership with Disney and Marvel at Baselworld 2018. Less than a year later, the collaboration has produced its first specially designed, super-hero-themed timepieces ? launched in front of an enthusiastic crowd this week at New York Comic Con, the East Coast’s biggest pop culture extravaganza. WatchTime was there for an exclusive sneak preview.

The new Citizen Marvel Timepieces, eight models in total, take their inspiration from some of Marvel’s most popular characters from both the comics pages and the big screen ? with dials, cases, and straps evoking the spirit of the Avengers, the Black Panther, Captain America, the Hulk, and Spider-Man. The good news for Marvel fans is that the timepieces’ signature elements are true to the mythos of their favorite Marvel Universe characters; the good news for watch enthusiasts is that the designs are all very solid.

The Avengers watch (above) pays tribute to Marvel’s premier supergroup with the iconic gold-colored Avengers “A” in the center, beneath the golden luminous hands and red seconds hand. The predominantly red, black, and gold color scheme seems also to evoke the armor of Iron Man, who in Marvel Cinematic Universe was instrumental in bringing the team together. The solid caseback features a Marvel logo.
