Naruto characters as watches

Naruto Uzumaki

The look of this watch is based on Naruto's signature Ninja outfit. The worn-looking bezel and case symbolize the tough training it takes to become a Hokage. The title awarded to the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village where Naruto is from. You can also see the symbol of Naruto’s village on the bezel, his Tsunade-inherited pendant at 12 o'clock and the Uzumaki clan Kamon (family crest) on the back of the case. The spirals on the dial are derived from Naruto’s Jutsu (Ninja Technique). The nine orange hour indices refer to the Nine-Tails sealed in Naruto.

Sasuke Uchiha

The Jutsu "Chidori" of Naruto's friend and rival Sasuke is reflected in the pattern of the dial. The Jutsu hand gesture returns to the one, three and eight o'clock positions. The horizontal line in the Hidden Leaf Village symbol on the bezel refers to the scar made by Naruto on Sasuke's forehead protector. The crown of the watch features the "Sharingan" sign of the Uchiha clan.

Rock Lee

The colors used for the watch and strap are derived from Lee's signature jumpsuit and leg warmers. The bezel points to the other side of "The Eight Inner Gates", of which Lee managed to open the fifth gate and obtain the extraordinary "Hidden Lotus". On the back of the case, as on its heavy ankle weights, are the kanji characters meaning "guts."

Shikamura Nara

Shikamaru's "Shadow Possession Jutsu" is reflected in the dial of this watch. The black color scheme with green accents and the structure of the inner ring match the clothing of this character. The hour indices are shaped like his favorite Shogi game pieces, and the caseback is decorated with the Kamon of the Nara Clan.

Gaara

With the kanji character for "love" at the one o'clock position, Gaara brings to life the "One-tailed" sealed within him. Swirling sand inspired the brown case and the pattern on the dial. A pattern inspired by the mark of his gourd recurs on the case rim and back.

Boruto characters as watches

Boruto Uzumaki

Like his father Naruto, the Boruto watch has the Jutsu "Rasengan" on the dial, but in a black spiral pattern.

This watch also has the Kamon of the Uzumaki Clan on the case back.

Sarada Uchiha

The red gradient on the dial refers to the "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu", inherited by Sarada from her father Sasuke.
