Infantry has teamed up with Transformers for a special collaboration called the Collection Watch Series, which features six different designs. I had the chance to photograph and review the Infantry x Transformers Watch (Prime), better known as the Optimus model. It combines practical features like a quartz movement and stopwatch functions with design elements inspired by Optimus Prime, making it both a wearable watch and a collectible for fans. Each model can be ordered directly, but Infantry also offers blind-box versions that are currently priced lower and add the surprise factor along with the chance of scoring a limited edition.



I was able to check out the Optimus model firsthand thanks to Infantry and put together a full photo gallery. As part of the blind-box series, this watch captures the look and spirit of Optimus Prime in a chronograph that feels solid and well built. Even the packaging adds to the experience, with an unboxing that feels closer to opening a collector’s figure than a standard wristwatch.

What really stands out is how well the design blends Transformers details into a watch you can actually wear every day. The polished silver case looks sharp against the black strap with its blue stitching, and the blue rim with silver lettering adds just enough pop around the dial. The face shows Optimus Prime in blueprint-style line art, paired with the Transformers logo and a red Autobot badge. Fans will spot it right away, but it is not so bold that it feels out of place outside the fandom.

The Optimus watch is not just for show. It keeps time with a quartz movement, has a 24 hour display, luminous hands for low light, and a working stopwatch. The 42mm case gives it some presence without feeling oversized, the mineral glass helps protect it from scratches, and the strap is easy to adjust and comfortable to wear.

At 60 dollars it hits a sweet spot, giving fans something that works as both a practical watch and a collectible piece. In the gallery you can see all the details up close, from the finish on the case to the packaging it comes in. I also had some fun pulling out older Transformers watches for comparison shots, like G1 Autoceptor, Deceptor, Kaltor, and G2 Scorpia. Even bigger figures like Armada Unicron and Power of the Primes Predaking show up, making the shoot a playful mix of new and old Transformers history.
