We have previously covered themed watches on the site (such as Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, and Peanuts) and for this article, we’re going to feature different watch brands inspired by characters from another beloved pop culture brand: Marvel.
Marvel Comics, an American brand that was introduced over 80 years ago, is a publisher of comic books and other media, has thousands of characters created by writers Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, and many others. Dozens of characters have been part of successful movie adaptations in the past decade and gained more fans, which led to a huge merch industry: clothing, costumes, accessories, watches.
If you’re a fan of Marvel’s long-term rival- DC Comics – check out these watches.

Below, we’ll divide the Marvel-themed watches by brand, and provide links on where you can check the specs or purchase them.
Citizen Marvel Watches
Japanese watch brand Citizen partnered with Marvel to produce timepieces inspired by its superheroes. All of the watches feature Citizens Eco-Drive technology, which does not require any batteries, as they’re powered by any light.
The characters featured in the collection include Black Panther, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, The Hulk, and Tony Stark. There are also models devoted to The Avengers, Marvel Heroes, and a special watch dedicated to creator Stan Lee.
The Black Panther watch is inspired by the movie’s aesthetic: Wakandan tribal patterns are on the dial, with silver-tone index markers. The watch has an ion-plated stainless steel case with a black silicone strap and a mineral crystal. Violet accents can be seen on the three hands, as well as the crown. This model is water-resistant up to 100m.
A smaller model is the 37mm Citizen Captain Marvel watch, with a stainless steel case and the character’s gold star. The dial has blue and gold-tone accents with Swarovski crystals.
One of the new models is dedicated to the man who started it all: Stan Lee. This limited-edition commemorative POW! Entertainment® Stan Lee® watch is a stainless steel watch with gold-tone accents and comic book-style fonts. There are only 1,922 pieces of this available (the year Lee was born).
