As NASA prepares to embark on the Artemis Program, which will take humanity back to the moon and beyond, Xeric has launched the limited edition NASA Artemis Chrono on Kickstarter, perfectly timed to celebrate this monumental achievement in space exploration. The Artemis Program not only honours the legacy of the Apollo missions but also sets the stage for the next giant leap—sending astronauts to Mars. In this spirit, Xeric has reimagined the traditional tachymeter watch, giving it a modern twist that mirrors the innovation of the Artemis missions.
The NASA Artemis Chronograph Watch from Xeric is available for the great price of just $279 during the Kickstarter campaign. It is a bold departure from conventional tachymeters, incorporating clean lines and vibrant colours that span the glass-coated bezel while maintaining its functional legibility. The watch’s chronograph subdials are elegantly recessed into a radial brushed sunray dial, providing depth and visual interest, while anodized aluminium pushers add a pop of colour to the case, emphasizing the watch’s modern aesthetic.
At the heart of the design, NASA’s iconic insignia proudly adorns the top of the dial, a nod to the legacy of space exploration. The back of the watch features a dimensional engraving of the Orion capsule, symbolizing the next chapter in human spaceflight and echoing the shape of the hour hand. Filled with Swiss-made Super LumiNova, this hand ensures that the watch remains readable under any conditions, much like the instruments used in space.
Crafted from hand-finished 316L stainless steel, the 40mm case is unisex and comes paired with either a bead-blasted or finely brushed stainless steel bracelet. The bracelet features a micro-adjust clasp, providing a customisable and comfortable fit for any wrist. The watch is powered by a Seiko VK63 MecaQuartz hybrid chronograph movement, combining the precision of quartz with the tactile feel of a mechanical chronograph.
With its innovative design, robust construction, and deep connection to space history, the NASA Artemis Chrono is more than just a timepiece—it’s a celebration of human achievement and a symbol of the exciting future of space exploration. Each watch is individually numbered, making it a true collector’s item for space enthusiasts and watch aficionados alike. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of history as we celebrate NASA’s next great milestone. The limited edition NASA Artemis Chrono is available now on Kickstarter, but it won’t last long.
