Ubisoft and Hamilton shared information yesterday regarding their partnership on Far Cry 6. Starting October 7th, players will not only have the opportunity to virtually wear the Limited-Edition Khaki Field Titanium Automatic but also to purchase it in real life too.
Deeply rooted in the history of Yara, the fictional Caribbean Island of Far Cry 6, the Khaki Field Titanium Automatic keeps on ticking through decades of instability, even during an assassination attempt on its former owner and ruler of the island Santos Espinosa in 1983. In honor of this story of survival, only 1983 pieces of the special edition watch worn in-game will be available for purchase IRL.
As Dani Rojas, players fight to free Yara, ruled by the ruthless dictator Antรณn Castillo brought to life by actor Giancarlo Esposito (โBreaking Bad,โ 2009-2011). During their journey, they will receive the bespoke timepiece upon completion of a guerrilla mission. Successful players unlock access to the in-game timepiece providing the unique and original โkeeps on tickingโ perk improving general defense during sprints.
โHamiltonโs Khaki Field isnโt merely an accessory choice or functional asset but is truly integrated into Yaraโs history with a connection to the islandโs deposed leader,โ said Omar Bouali, Game Content Director, Ubisoft Toronto. โItโs a small detail that adds immense authenticity to the cinematic world weโve created.โ
In real life, Hamiltonโs Khaki Field Titanium Automatic is rugged, resilient and reliable with a combination of state-of-the-art functionality and military heritage. In addition, carefully selected details give the 42mm field watch its distinct Far Cry character, bringing your in-game adventures to life.
Surrounded by a brushed titanium case, the limited editionโs black vinyl dial features a matte center and a split โ6โ marker, a reference to the game logoโs typography. A revolutionary red seconds hand is a nod to the game colors, chosen as a tribute to Yaraโs guerrillas. Paired with a brown leather NATO strap, each watch also comes with an additional brown nubuck leather strap and changing tool to represent the do-it-yourself, โResolverโ spirit thatโs critical for players to embrace.
โWe know from experience that designing a prop watch for the screen doesnโt always immediately translate to a real-world product,โ said Hamilton CEO Vivian Stauffer. โIt made the idea of someone wearing this limited-edition piece while also using it as wrist gear in-game an extremely exciting prospect and we canโt wait to see it in action.โ
Far Cry 6 will release worldwide on October 7, 2021 on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and for Windows PC on both the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store.
