The watch is similarly covered with drawings of One Piece's protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, with special motifs on the watch face as well.
The watch face features details like Luffy's straw hat.

When the hour hand and minute hand are at the 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock position respectively, it also reveals a golden "X" image, perhaps representing the X-shaped scar on Luffy's chest and the pirates' hunt for treasure.
