There something about NASA collaborations that we fall for here at The Coolector and it’s particularly true when it comes to timepieces so we were understandably excited to come across the NASA Automatic Watch from Xeric which is funding over on Kickstarter as we speak. This intergalactic and undeniably striking timepiece has been released to celebrate the farthest human-made object in space, the individually numbered Voyager Automatic Deep Space Diver watch really can go anywhere.
Available for the excellent pre-order price of just $389 which is 35% off the final retail price, the Xeric NASA Automatic Watch on Kickstarter is fantastic value for money right now. This limited edition timepiece is designed to remind us of the importance of space exploration and whether it’s deep in the ocean or deep in space, this no-nonsense watch can withstand 100 times the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere. With this 1,000 meter depth rating, Xeric have also integrated a helium escape valve into the case, preventing a pressure differential that can occur during deep dives.
The dial of the timepiece features NASA’s iconic “worm” logo and a uniquely layered surface. A thick coating of Super-LumiNova has been applied to the hands and dial, which further enhances legibility in low light conditions. The watch dial is protected by an ultra scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and ready for any adventures you can think of. The watch is powered by the self-winding Seiko NH35 automatic movement which is both robust and reliable. As you wear it, the rotor winds the mainspring, creating stored mechanical energy that powers the watch.
The movement is housed in a robust stainless steel case complete with a tactile 120-click rotating bezel fit for divers. The caseback of this space-inspired timepiece boasts an inlaid replica of “the Golden Record” cover which is found on the outside of the Voyager spacecraft, intended to communicate a story of our world to any intelligent life it could encounter in its journey. Made to withstand extreme conditions, the Voyager Automatic watch from Xeric will be your constant companion as you explore your world. Reserve your watch now, as each colorway is limited to just 1977 pieces, commemorating the year the Voyager spacecraft left Earth and began its iconic mission through space.
