Wangan Midnight's Legendary Cars Get the Watch Treatment

The high-octane world of Wangan Midnight is shifting gears into the watch game. A new collaboration between the cult racing manga and Japanese watchmaker ANGEL CLOVER will bring two of the series' most iconic vehicles to life as timepieces—the Devil Z Fairlady Z S30 and the Blackbird Porsche 911 Turbo.

Launching August 7, 2026, the watches capture the aesthetic essence of these legendary machines that have defined Wangan Midnight's narrative of underground street racing obsession. Rather than slapping a character's face on a dial, the design philosophy here is more subtle: each model incorporates visual elements that echo its corresponding car's personality and presence on the midnight expressways.

Pre-orders are already live, and buyers get a bonus metal plate keychain with their purchase—a nice touch for collectors who want to carry a piece of the manga's world beyond the wrist.

For fans of Wangan Midnight, this isn't just another branded merchandise drop. The Devil Z and Blackbird aren't background props; they're central to the manga's identity, representing the obsession and rivalry that fuel the entire series. Translating that into a watch is a genuine creative challenge—and ANGEL CLOVER appears to have treated it as such, designing pieces that feel like they belong in Wangan Midnight's universe rather than looking like afterthoughts.
