For those who appreciate the intersection of horological artistry and pop culture significance, Nubeo Watches, in collaboration with TAITO, presents a truly unique series of limited-edition timepieces: the Nubeo Magellan Chronograph Space Invaders. Commemorating one of the most important and influential video game titles of all time, these watches bring the seminal arcade classic to life on your wrist.
Showcasing remarkable detailing, undeniable flair, and precise timekeeping, each variant, limited to a mere 125 pieces, is a stunning and wearable piece of history, a tangible link between the cosmos of horology and the pixelated universe of Space Invaders.
Housed within the Magellan’s distinctive and robust barrel-shaped case, measuring a substantial 48.0mm in diameter with a thickness of 15.0mm and a lug-to-lug distance of 51.0mm, this chronograph makes a statement as bold as it is playful. The sheer presence of the stainless steel case, coupled with the thematic integration of Space Invaders iconography, ensures that this timepiece will undoubtedly spark conversations.
The black dial serves as the perfect backdrop for the printed indices, enhanced with Swiss Newlite luminous material, ensuring legibility even when venturing into the darker corners of the galaxy (or just a dimly lit room).
Powering this interstellar journey through time is a precise Japanese quartz chronograph movement, ensuring reliable accuracy for all your terrestrial and perhaps even extraterrestrial appointments. The watch comes equipped with a comfortable 26mm black rubber strap, ideal for everyday wear, and includes an additional interchangeable grey rubber strap, allowing you to customise your look depending on your mission.
With a water resistance of 5 ATM, it’s well-equipped for the rigours of daily life. Despite its substantial presence, the watch weighs in at a manageable 150 grams, ensuring it remains a comfortable companion on your wrist. Protecting the dial is a durable mineral lens, ready to withstand the bumps and scrapes of your adventures. The crown features a secure screw-down design, further enhancing its robustness.
The Nubeo Magellan Chronograph Space Invaders watches, priced at $1100 per variant, are more than just timekeepers; they are wearable pieces of art that celebrate a pivotal moment in gaming history.
The collaboration between Nubeo and TAITO has resulted in a series of timepieces that masterfully blend iconic style with cosmic playfulness. Each of the limited 125 pieces per variant is a rare treasure, a must-have for both watch enthusiasts and avid fans of the legendary Space Invaders game. This collection is a testament to the enduring appeal of a true classic, reimagined for the modern wrist. It’s time to wear your high score.
