CD Projekt Red Reveals Cyberpunk 2077 Wristwatch That Incorporates Blockchain Technology

There's a new wristwatch based on Cyberpunk 2077 that you can preorder right now. CD Projeckt Red is partnering up with Blonie Watches to release the T-2077, a limited edition wristwatch born out of the dystopian setting of Cyberpunk 2077.

The watch's case and bracelet are made out of pure grade 2 titanium, with the latter having a butterfly clasp, and its mechanism is quartz with a digital LED-type yellow display. The glass is a darkened mineral with an additional sapphire coating. The watch is water-resistant to up to 5 atmospheres, or 50 meters.

For the battery, it uses a model CR2032, with lithium manganese dioxide/organic electrolyte. It's 3V with a capacity of 220mAh. The watch also has both 12-hour and 24-hour options, as well as three adjustable sizes, and comes with supplemental links, although it's recommended to use a professional tailoring service to fit the watch.

Those who purchase the watch will receive a two-year warranty and it is estimated to arrive in June 2022. It costs a total of $499 to order with additional shipping. Also, owners of the T-2077 watch will have a digital certification of authenticity using blockchain technology administered by the specialist firm, Arianee. This decision was to mitigate the risk of counterfeiting. Owners can transfer ownership by using the Arianee app.

In other news, CD Projekt Red is working on Cyberpunk 2077's expansion as it has been scaling back support on the main game for the past year. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of the game are slated to launch in Q1 2022.
