Few dates resonate as powerfully with science fiction enthusiasts as April 5, 2063 – the moment humanity achieved its first successful contact with extraterrestrial life, a pivotal point in the rich tapestry of Star Trek lore. Honouring this monumental event, Nubeo presents a dedicated tribute in the form of the Opportunity Chronograph Star Trek First Contact Limited Edition watch.
This timepiece is more than just a way to track time; it’s a wearable piece of history, celebrating the balance of science and imagination that has defined the Star Trek universe for generations. As a limited release, with only 125 pieces available per variant, securing one of these makes for a truly exclusive connection to a beloved cultural phenomenon.
The most captivating element of the Opportunity Chronograph is undoubtedly its dial. It showcases a stunning 3D-moulded masterpiece depicting the iconic Vulcan spacecraft T’Plana-Hath, rendered with intricate detail that reflects its elegant lines and distinctive silhouette. Each element is crafted with precision, creating a depth and texture that truly brings the design to life.
The watch is available in four striking colourways, each inspired by the vast and varied hues of the Star Trek universe: Desert Brown, Philosopher Blue, Vulcan Ember, and Celestial Yellow. This allows collectors to choose the palette that best resonates with their appreciation of the franchise. The exclusivity of just 125 pieces for each of these colour variants underscores the collectible nature of this release.
Built for precision, the watch is equipped with a Japanese meca-quartz chronograph movement. This type of movement offers the accuracy and convenience of quartz timekeeping combined with the crisp feel and instantaneous reset of a mechanical chronograph, delivering reliable performance for any mission, real or imagined.
The substantial stainless steel case makes a bold statement on the wrist, measuring 48.0mm in size with a thickness of 18.0mm and a lug-to-lug span of 57.0mm, weighing in at a robust 150g. Protecting the intricate dial is an Anti Reflection Coated Sapphire Lens, providing excellent strength and clarity. The unidirectional bezel adds a touch of tactical precision, while the screw-down crown and case back contribute to a solid 10 ATM water resistance, ensuring durability for unexpected encounters.
Completing the package is a durable 22mm FKM Rubber Strap with a strap buckle (shown here in Blue, complementing the Philosopher Blue dial variant). FKM rubber is known for its superior resistance and longevity, making it an ideal choice for a watch built for adventure. For those who appreciate thematic depth, robust construction, and the exclusivity of a limited edition piece, the Nubeo Opportunity Chronograph Star Trek First Contact Limited Edition, priced at £1654, offers a unique opportunity to wear a tribute to a pivotal moment in history and science fiction alike.
