Classic World Masterpiece Theater series Rascal the Raccoon turns 45 this year — and if you thought this little guy was everywhere already, just wait! The critter, whose star turn was based on Sterling North‘s Rascal, a Memoir of a Better Era, is getting all sorts of goodies for his big year. The latest on the list is a gorgeous Seiko collaborative watch.

The analog timepiece features sepia art with gold clover and pawprint accents. Rascal waits with open paws at the 3 o’clock spot, and will catch the little sugar cube on the second hand once every minute:

It’s not just the watch you’ll be getting, either. It arrives in a gorgeous wooden music box, with art from the series on the inside of the lid. The box plays a gentle version of the show’s theme song:

The watch and music box combo is now available for pre-order for 43,780 yen, and limited to a run of 1,977 units — to commemorate the series’s premiere in 1977. Orders will begin shipping in mid-August.
