The product is the third entry in the Blue Archive Original Watch series and is designed to evoke a gift from the two Highlander Railway Academy characters. It can be used as a wristwatch or, by switching to an included attachment, as a pocket watch reminiscent of a railway clock. The watch features a Japanese-made automatic movement, the MIYOTA 82S5, with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The case is about 38 mm, made of stainless steel, and offers 10 ATM water resistance. The dial includes an open heart design at the 8 o'clock position, a small second hand with a halo motif, and an applied logo incorporating the Highlander Railway Academy school crest. The case back also carries the school crest and has a see-through back. As a purchase bonus, buyers receive a microfiber cloth with newly drawn art by illustrator Dan Tateda and a PVC warranty card styled like a railway ticket. The watch is priced at 29,800 yen including tax. Orders will be accepted until October 5 at 15:00, with delivery scheduled after May 2027. Shipping is limited to Japan.","whyItMatters":"The product extends the Blue Archive Original Watch series to a third entry while introducing a pocket watch configuration tied to Highlander Railway Academy's railway theme.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe strap uses an easy-click system, so the wristband and pocket watch attachment change without tools.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe included microfiber cloth is meant for cleaning not just the watch but also smartphones and glasses.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe case back is printed with the school crest, though Ueni Trading notes the text orientation and position may differ from photos due to manufacturing.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe crystal is mineral glass, the strap is calf leather, and the attachment chain measures about 31 cm.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe watch fits wrists from 13 to 20 cm, with a lug width of about 18 mm, and weighs roughly 55 g (about 59 g in pocket watch configuration).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem number BA38HKNZ, unisex sizing, with manufacturing and assembly done in China.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet contents include the watch body, dedicated attachment parts, BOX, microfiber cloth, warranty card, and instruction manual.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSales run through WORLD WIDE WATCH, and the product is made to order, so shipping times may vary with order volume.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUeni Trading is the distributor, and Dan Tateda\u0026#39;s newly drawn art appears on the bonus cloth.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The Blue Archive Hikari and Nozomi watch switches from wristwatch to pocket watch, and its warranty card is a PVC train ticket.
