For all fashion and retro game lovers, Atari has teamed up with the Nubeo watch manufacturer to launch a specially designed asteroid watch. It was published to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the game (despite its release in 1979).
The watch is designed with a system of multilayer discs that reflects the emblematic gameplay of the game. It has a Japanese automatic movement, a steel case and a sapphire crystal lens. In addition, it has water resistance up to 200 m deep.
Reading time on this watch is not as simple as on your smart watch.
Instead of regular hands, two UFO symbols are used to display hours and minutes. The small delta -shaped spaceship in the center acts like a second hand, while its laser shot moves through the dial.
To make things even more chaotic, asteroids revolve around the discs, which allows a completely unique (but potentially confusing) display.
As an additional nostalgic touch, the watch is delivered in a box designed to look like an Atari VCS console and is in five colors: Blue Nebula, Red Supernova, Nightfall, Pimpkin and Celestial Citrine.
“With its exhibition file, its personalized rotor and its engraved details, each Ventana is a rare collection jewel,” said the firm.
