The hit anime Fate/strange Fake captured the hearts of fantasy fans around the world with its dark, chaotic take on the battle royale genre. Now, Japanese lifestyle brand SuperGroupies is bringing that same energy to your everyday wardrobe. The fashion brand has officially launched an exclusive, limited-edition collection of luxury watches and a premium backpack inspired by the beloved series. Pre-orders kicked off on April 6, 2026, giving fans in the US, Canada, and across the globe a chance to snag high-end.
If you're looking to represent your favorite Heroic Spirits, you'll need to move fast. Pre-orders are currently live on the SuperGroupies website and will run until May 10, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time, though the brand notes the window will close early if the limited supply sells out. Each of the three character watches will set you back $419.99 before taxes, while the daily-use backpack retails for $329.99, as per CBR.
All secured pre-orders are expected to ship out to fans right in time for the holidays in early December 2026. Plus, SuperGroupies dropped a little tease for the community: a fourth watch model based on Berserker is already in active development.
The current lineup highlights three of the series' most iconic Servants, starting with a Saber (Richard I) model that mimics the character's majestic armor from the Snowfield Holy Grail War. Its dial features royal motifs, red armor accents, and the Excalibur Noble Phantasm slicing right through the center, while sword motifs sit on the hour markers from one to seven in a clever nod to his "Rounds of Lionheart."
The Archer watch channels Gilgamesh perfectly, incorporating his signature gold color scheme. The center face takes inspiration from The King's Treasure (Gate of Babylon), with golden glyphs referencing his Sword of Rupture, Ea, encircling the hour markers.

Lancer's Elegance and the Premium Archer Backpack
Not to be outdone, Archer's only friend, Lancer (Enkidu), also gets a sophisticated watch of his own. This model showcases etched Enuma Elish motifs in the center, bound by the Chains of Heaven Noble Phantasm that align perfectly with the gold and silver hour markers. Beyond the watches, the drop also includes a premium Archer-themed backpack designed for heavy everyday use. It comes complete with adjustable side compression straps, golden hardware, and an embossed exterior modeled after Archer's plate armor. Inside, the lining features a custom pattern replicating the Gate of Babylon.
This premium merchandise drop couldn't have better timing. Airing during the Winter 2026 anime season on Crunchyroll. Animated beautifully by A-1 Pictures and based on the thrilling story penned by Ryohgo Narita, the show earned widespread praise for its jaw-dropping action sequences and a complex, labyrinthine plot that totally flipped the script on usual fantasy archetypes.
A big part of that massive success comes from how the series reimagined the franchise's established formula. Instead of the traditional Holy Grail War in Fuyuki, Japan, the story relocates the chaos to the fictional city of Snowfield, Nevada. This fresh American setting features a "False" Holy Grail War organized by a rogue U.S. magi faction.
Naturally, the imitation ritual spirals wildly out of control, laying the groundwork for unexpected anomalies, drawing in entirely new participants, and accidentally triggering a second “True” Holy Grail War that shouldn't have even been possible. As the battle royale continues to dominate conversations this year, these new accessories offer a stylish, subtle way to wear your fandom on your wrist.
