The recent Hamilton release of the FarCry 6 watch collaboration has intrigued fans of both the watch brand and the game. This collaboration is very futuristic and will inspire a new wave of watch lovers. The watch brand has produced a timepiece that exists both in the FarCry game and in real life. Hamilton is famous for its film watches and vintage timepieces. However, this collaboration introduces the brand to a whole new audience. By bringing the watch from the game into reality, FarCry has added a new dimension to its true-to-life cinematic nature.
This timepiece is making history as it is the first branded watch in-game integration in the FarCry franchise. The collaboration is momentous for both Hamilton and FarCry, making this watch a truly unique timepiece. The futuristic nature of this unusual partnership is sure to pave the way for other watch brands. It is set to inspire a new approach towards combining the digital and real worlds. Only 1983 of these limited edition watches are available worldwide. This makes the FarCry 6 edition of the Khaki Field Titanium Auto watch is a highly collectable timepiece.
Combining Reality and the Game
Hamilton designed a watch that “keeps on ticking” both in the game and real life. This makes it a must have companion in both dimensions. The brand recognised that accurate timing, secure fit and authentic style would be vital to both game players and watch collectors, so ensured to feature these characteristics in both the digital and real life versions of the timepiece. FarCry emphasise the rugged and resilient nature of the watch throughout the game. It is shown to keep ticking through years of instability in the game’s universe. It even survives an assassination attempt of its former owner, tyrannical leader Antón Castillo.
The game player will travel through the game as Dani Rojas. Dani’s goal is to free the land of Yara from the clutches of the cruel dictator, Castillo. Rojas will receive the watch after having completed a guerilla mission. During the game, the watch will improve defence during sprints and allow players to get in and out of danger quickly. The in-game Hamilton watch will be a useful possession in Dani’s fight for freedom. The addition of a real life Hamilton watch to the FarCry 6 game is a subtle addition that makes the game feel more realistic than ever.
