Exclusive Announcement – Dead Space 3 Limited Edition Watch (500 pieces) available to pre-order
Good news for Dead Space fans, after the amazing Dead Space 3 Dev Edition and Collectors Edition Art-book, we at Collectorsedition.org have an exclusive announcement to make!
To celebrate the upcoming release of Dead Space 3, Visceral Games and Publisher Electronic Arts announced the Dead Space 3 Limited Edition Watch (officially named CEC Engineer-Class Timepiece).
The name of the watch is no surprise because your favorite space miner, Isaac Clarke, will actually wear this watch in-game!
The watch will be available for purchase on February 1st at the official EA store (around 12 MST or 7 GMT), so if you do not want to miss out on this stunning watch be ready pressing f5 at your computer tomorrow!
This watch will be a strictly limited production of 500 pieces and will be individually numbered. It will include a Certificate of Authenticity and will be encased in a custom designed box, featuring a debossed Dead Space 3 logo.
The watch will be made by the well known company Meister Watches (known for the Mass Effect N7 watch).
Some technical details:
- Copper Stainless Steel Bezel
- Black Rubber Strap with Stainless Steel Buckle
- Carbon Fiber Dial
- Laser-Etched Backcase individually numbered, with Dead Space 3 Logo
- Japanese 3-Hand and Date Quartz Movement
- 100M Water Resistant
Exclusively available at the official EA Store for the price of 265$.
Looks really nice, and actually something you can wear (although, collectors i guess would want not to damage it ^^).
Must have for real dead space fans imho (provided you have some cash left after the dev edition and artbook).
If I were to get this.... I will have to hunt down a dead space ultra edition in the future to complete the collection. I'm extremely broke after the dev edition and artbook lol. The list of CE for the next few months just wont stop T_T
Two questions:
Can we see a photo of the custom case?
Is that 12 midnight or 12 noon?
noon
Sorry i do not have a pic of the case! Im sure it will be up the site tomorrow!
A watch?? Seriously?
As big of a Dead Space fan that I am, I will have to pass on this one, especially at that price.

Great design
But I am all out of funds...
Exciting! Quite expensive though
i don't know to me..it seems like they kind of digitally added in the watch on the game character after they struck a deal with the watch company..i doubt the watch was a work of imagination of the game developers for the game, and then later they presented there watch idea that came out of thin air, and the watch company made it custom to spec from scratch..i think it's more like...here are your watch choices..and the developer goes..we'll go with this one..and then someone from the studio says..let's make it more official looking..let's stick in the game character molding..o well..i mean..are we game collectors?..or watch collectors?..remote control plane collectors?..stuffed plushy collectors?..where do we draw the line?..and go back to the core...special edition box, a nice making of doc, a nice artbook, a steelbook, and maybe a special game case. that outta be enough.
I said the same on another thread, I agree with you twisted. The dev edition and the artbook were perfect, no doubt. I knew this was a watch, after seeing the shitty N7 ambassador, but when ryan said you can use it ingame (or something that's in the game) I said, nah, it must be a weapon or something.

that's the regular model used for this watch.
It feels a little rushed like saying "Hey, it says dead space, and it's in the game, buy it"
and it's goring ot be expensive again
Still thinking 1h to go

We wanted to do a watch because the N7 one was a pretty nice piece in person and sold much faster than we expected. We worked out a watch that was less expensive and seemed to fit the game and were going to sell it regardless.
Because we were working with Visceral so closely on the Dev Team Edition, we wanted to keep the watch subtle and somewhat believable in terms of in-game fiction (and also, there's only so much you can do without taking a lot longer or costing a lot more--neither of which seemed like good options). When I first saw it, I had kind of the same reaction. I thought we could have done more to make it really stand out, but I've really come around and think it works much better this way.
Visceral liked the watch, and we all liked the idea of it being something you could picture Isaac wearing with his civilian suit (and Ben Wanat came up with the great idea to name it in such a way that it alluded to being a functional, corporate kind of gift; like it was a standard-issue thing in the world of the game). Then, it turns out they were actually able to put it on him in the game.
This felt like a really cool little bonus, since we thought the watch was worth it either way and had committed to putting it into production before we knew it was going to be in the game. We felt like it would be a neat thing to see the watch that you wanted for yourself worn by the main character in the game. They didn't put it on Isaac just to have something to sell, and there definitely wasn't a product placement deal where we (or a watch company) paid them to compromise and throw something in your face.
I agree that this shot has some lighting situation that causes it to look almost awkwardly prominent, but the screenshots were intentionally taken in such a way that the watch would be noticeable since that's what we wanted to call attention to.... I haven't had a chance to play the game yet, but from the few screenshots I got to pick from for this, it seems like it'll be subtle and something you could easily miss (also, it's only visible when you don't have a suit on).
This is absolutely not for everyone (or even very many people). I think we got nice photos of it, but it's actually more impressive in person. I think it's a nice watch, and I think it's pretty fairly priced for a nice watch (especially one this large and heavy--I like big watches, but this thing is huge). It's nicely collectible with each one numbered and not many made, and I think it's subtly designed so as to be something people could be comfortable wearing. It's a nod to a cool game with a rich story, and there's a few scenes where you can play with it occasionally visible on your character. We just thought that was kind of neat.... It was never a sinister or half-baked plot to get a bunch of money from good people. If you like the game and want the watch, cool. If you need a watch and you like this one, cool. It really didn't go much further than that.
It's just an accesory, you guys sell clothes, playing cards, pendrives, it's fine, but the way to promote the watch was laughable. It's a watch, good, but don't go beyond that point questioning my intelligence with cheap marketing tactics and product placements. That watch has nothing to do with the dead space universe, don't force it in it. The watch in Metro 2033 is part of the gameplay mechanics planned by the dev, not this.
These screenshots are pathetic
I'm questioning the way this was marketed, nothing more IMHO.
I think it's better to let the player discover it, like an easter egg.
nice, better than the $500 mass effect watch, but still too expensive for me
I'm a real dead space fan,but I'm a bigger fan of eating ,paying bills etc.
Out of my price range unfortunately. If only I could pay it up.
Oh man, This is ruining me!
Already having the Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition, I feel like I have to have this watch even though I know this has gone to far with all the expensive merchandise around Dead Space 3.
Guys, if you like the watch and got the cash, buy it. If you don't like the watch, don't buy it. Where's the problem? Visceral could make a limited edition of Dead Space themed toilet paper if they like. If you find it stupid, just ignore it!
I will definitely buy this time piece. Regardless it's an in game item or not.
What about all the Resident Evil and Metal Gear watches? No one complained about these...
Can we see a photo of the custom case?
Is that 12 midnight or 12 noon?
Question 2... Really?
Nice watch. If I am the first to order, I'd want the 1/500. So how does someone obtain one of the first ones made? Is it randomly given, or just being in line to who orders it when?
