Axia FIFA World Cup 2026 Watch Collection Unveiled
Axia introduces a special collection of timepieces to honor the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2026. This extensive release moves beyond a singular commemorative piece, presenting a range of officially licensed watches that pay tribute to both the global tournament and specific national teams. For passionate fans, these watches provide an alternative way to showcase their support beyond the traditional team jersey.
The collection offers three distinct models, each available in multiple country-specific editions, all produced in limited quantities. A standout feature is the Collector's Box Set, exquisitely hand-painted by renowned artist Lili Cantero, adding an artistic touch to the horological celebration. Additionally, Axia has implemented a unique "World Champion Guarantee," linking the watch purchase to the tournament's eventual winner, adding an exciting element for collectors.
The collection begins with the Axia Kosmos, an accessible model priced at US$225. This 36mm watch features a hybrid bioceramic case and a reliable Miyota GL22 quartz movement, complemented by a mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating and a custom engraved stainless steel case back. It offers 100m water resistance and comes with an FKM rubber strap. Moving up, the Enosi, at 38mm, houses a Swiss-made Sellita SW200 automatic movement within a 316L stainless steel case. It boasts a sapphire crystal, a custom engraved solid case back, 100m water resistance, and includes both a Saffiano leather strap and a color-matching FKM rubber strap for US$795. The top-tier Argos model, priced at US$1,495, is a robust 42mm timepiece powered by an ETA 2824 automatic movement. It features sapphire crystals on both the front and an exhibition case back revealing a custom FIFA World Cup rotor. With a sapphire bezel insert, X1 Super-LumiNova for enhanced visibility, and an impressive 300m water resistance, it’s designed for durability. This model comes with a 316L stainless steel Jubilee-style bracelet equipped with a quick-release mechanism and a tool-free micro-adjustable clasp, alongside an additional rubber strap. These watches are available for various prominent football nations, with additional country designs potentially added based on demand, demonstrating Axia's commitment to global football enthusiasts.
Axia has meticulously structured the availability and a unique guarantee for this collection. Each country-specific model is produced in limited numbers: 400 for the Kosmos, 80 for the Enosi, and 80 for the Argos, all individually numbered. The initial 20 pieces of each model are reserved for the exclusive Collector's Box Sets, leaving 380 Kosmos, 60 Enosi, and 60 Argos watches for individual purchase per country. The Collector's Box Set, priced at US$2,515, unites all three models for a single nation, with each walnut box hand-painted by Lili Cantero to reflect the country's unique identity. Furthermore, the innovative "World Champion Guarantee" applies to country-specific watches bought before the final match on July 19th, 2026. If the chosen country wins, Axia offers store credit equivalent to the watch's purchase price, allowing buyers to acquire a special World Champion Edition or any other product from their website. The original watch remains with the owner, meaning a victory yields an additional commemorative timepiece. While Argos and Enosi models are currently shipping, Kosmos models are set to ship in early July, all with free worldwide shipping and a four-year warranty.
This comprehensive collection, with its varying price points and country-specific designs, makes the FIFA World Cup 2026 accessible to a broad audience of football and watch enthusiasts. The thoughtful details, from artistic packaging to the enticing World Champion Guarantee, reflect Axia's dedication to creating a truly special and engaging experience for fans worldwide.
