Back to the moon
Back to the moon
Celebrate our return to the lunar surface with the new NASA Artemis Chrono
The limited edition NASA Artemis Chrono celebrates this new era of lunar travel with a bold new redesign of the traditional tachymeter watch. Primarily used to measure speed, tachymeter watches have long been associated with space travel, as Buzz Aldrin wore his during his famous first steps on the moon in 1969.
I feel the need for speed
Modern iteration of a tachymeter
We’ve modernized the tachymeter bezel. Clean lines allow bold colors to span the glass-coated bezel.
Filled with lume
Polished applied indices
Twelve hand-applied indices in three different shapes.
We couldn't help ourselves
Lume, anyone?
Each NASA Artemis Chrono has a unique application of luminous material between the bezel, chapter ring, indices, subdials and hands.
Seven Distinct Colors
The 40mm unisex sized case is fitted with a bead blasted or brushed stainless steel bracelet and a micro-adjust clasp that gives the most comfortable fit possible. A dimensional Orion capsule is sculpted into the caseback along with the limited edition number.
Seiko VK63 MecaQuartz Hybrid Chronograph
MecaQuartz chronograph's use quartz technology for the main timekeeping functions of the watch and a mechanical module for operating the chronograph – giving it a smooth sweeping like motion (similar to an automatic watch) and a snap-back style return to zero when resetting the chronograph. That is why these are often called hybrid movements
Water Resistant to 100 Meters
A 10 ATM or 100 meters of water resistant watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other casual water sports.
Solid 3D Sculpted Caseback
To honor the spacecraft that will take mankind back to the moon, a dimensional Orion capsule is sculpted into the caseback.
