This is one for the fashion-conscious retro avid gamers on the market. Atari has teamed up with watchmaker Nubeo to launch an Asteroids-themed watch to have a good time the sport’s forty fifth anniversary (although it got here out in 1979).
The watch has a multi-layered disc system that is designed to mirror the gameplay of Asteroids. Atari says it is powered by “a Japanese automatic movement.” The watch has a chrome steel 50mm case and a sapphire lens. It additionally has a 20 ATM score for water resistance at depths of as much as 200 meters, so it must be sturdy sufficient if you wish to put on it whereas scuba diving.
The timepiece even is available in a case that appears like an Atari VCS. Atari and Nubeo created 5 colorways for it: nebula blue, supernova purple, nova dusk, plasma pumpkin and celestial citrine. Better of all, the watch glows at the hours of darkness.
Really telling what time it’s on this factor would possibly take you a second or two, although. A pair of UFOs point out the time in hours and minutes. As for the A-shaped spaceship within the heart and the pictures it fires, that is your second hand. However the show seems to be fairly chaotic, as a lot of asteroids spin round on the discs as effectively.
Look, I actually like my Apple Watch for plenty of causes, not least as a result of I can really play some video video games on it, just like the absorbing Galaxy Combine (there’s an Asteroids clone that is apparently playable on the machine too). Possibly I am going to simply must turn into a kind of individuals who put on two watches, since I would like the Asteroids timepiece as effectively.
You may probably must act rapidly in order for you one, although. Nubeo solely made 125 of every variant. The colorways are listed for $499 every on the Atari and Nubeo web sites. Good luck!
