Hamilton released two limited-edition watches tied to the Resident Evil: Requiem game, which sold out quickly and now command premiums on the secondary market. The Leon S. Kennedy model, originally priced at $2,175, is fetching $5,000 to $6,000 on eBay, while the Grace Ashcroft version, retailed at $1,475, sells for around $3,300. A paired set has even reached over $10,000 in sales.
On February 27, 2026, Hamilton launched two limited-edition watches in collaboration with the Resident Evil: Requiem video game, each produced in quantities of 2,000 units. The designs feature protagonists Leon S. Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft, and both models sold out within minutes of the game's release. They quickly appeared on resale platforms like eBay, where demand from fans has driven prices well above the original retail values.
The Leon S. Kennedy Khaki Field Auto Chrono watch, which retailed for $2,175, now lists for $5,000 to $6,000 on the secondary market. This represents a return of 2.3 to 2.75 times the initial price. After accounting for eBay's 13% fees, a sale at $5,500 would yield approximately $4,785, resulting in profits of $2,600 to $3,400 for resellers. The Grace Ashcroft watch, priced at $1,475 at launch, is currently available for about $3,300, offering a 59% return or roughly $870 in profit after fees.
One notable transaction involved a dual-watch box set, combining both models with original packaging, which sold for $10,000. The combined retail price for the pair was $3,650, indicating buyers paid a premium for the complete collection.
This release follows Hamilton's mixed history with gaming collaborations. The previous year's Death Stranding watch, retailed at $1,500, resold for up to $3,000, benefiting from strong niche appeal. In contrast, the Call of Duty model sold below retail, leading to losses for flippers despite the franchise's popularity. The Resident Evil watches' success appears linked to their character-specific designs, which resonate more with collectors than generic brand extensions.
As of March 8, 2026, these watches demonstrate how targeted aesthetics in gaming tie-ins can generate significant secondary market value.
