Atari and Nubeo have joined forces to release a special Asteroids watch for fashion and retro game enthusiasts. This unique timepiece celebrates the 45th anniversary of the iconic game, originally launched in 1979. The watch features a multi-layer disc system that pays homage to the gameplay of Asteroids. It is equipped with a Japanese automatic movement, a steel case, and a sapphire crystal lens, making it durable and reliable. With a water resistance of up to 200m, this watch is suitable for various activities.
Unlike traditional watches, the Asteroids watch has a distinctive way of displaying time. Instead of regular hands, UFO symbols indicate the hours and minutes, while a delta-shaped spaceship serves as the second hand, moving across the dial. To add to the complexity, asteroids rotate around the discs, creating a visually captivating and unique display.
The Asteroids watch is available in five vibrant colors: Nebula Blue, Supernova Red, Nightfall, Plasma Pumpkin, and Celestial Citrine. It comes in a box that resembles an Atari VCS console, adding a nostalgic touch to the overall design. Each watch is crafted with precision, featuring an exhibition caseback, custom rotor, and engraved details, making it a collector’s item.
Priced at $499 and limited to just 625 units, the Asteroids watch is a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts. While they are available for purchase on the Atari website in the US, they have already sold out on the Nubeo website. The watch comes with a two-year international warranty and a range of features, including a screw-down crown, Swiss Super-LumiNova printed indexes, and a 24mm grey silicone band with a strap buckle.
For those interested in owning a piece of gaming history and a unique timepiece, the Asteroids watch offers a blend of nostalgia and modern craftsmanship. Act fast to secure one of these limited edition watches before they become a rare collector’s item.
