This Apollo-inspired watch is the time gadget you need

Have you ever dreamed of exploring space or walking on the moon, like Neil Armstrong? If you've always been a space nut, you'll want to have a look at this Apollo-inspired watch. This timepiece was designed by an aerospace engineer and has design elements from the Apollo command module itself.

TELEMETRY Apollo Watch Mission Inspired Wristwatch on a Wrist

You’ve got to love a wristwatch that pays homage to the space program that sent humans to the moon. And the TELEMETRY Apollo mission-inspired wristwatch is a beauty. This Apollo-inspired watch was custom designed by an aerospace engineer and Air Force veteran, so he knows a few things about space. And he’s designed this watch with a ton of cool Apollo details that any space enthusiast will adore.

Designwise, the TELEMETRY has a retro, 1960s vibe with its black and white dial, red hand, and silver case. But it has a twist: a rectangular section that imitates the typical square shape of avionics boxes. With this detail, wearers will feel as if they’re wearing a gauge from the command module on their wrist. It’s a lovely piece with many unique design features. And it’s amazing how a past design can still look so futuristic today.

It’s inspired by the space program

The creator of this watch wanted each design element to honor the Apollo space missions, right down to the color scheme. According to TELEMETRY’s Kickstarter page, the Apollo command module used dials and gauges in black and white since they were easy to read at a glance. For this reason, the creator chose black and white colors for the wristwatch’s dial. The command module also used the Futura font on all labels. Likewise, the writing on this Apollo-inspired watch features the same lettering.

Components are high-quality, yet affordable

The creator wanted to keep this wristwatch cost-effective so the team selected the Swiss Quartz Ronda 505 movement, a premium movement that’s more affordable than other high-end watch movements. They paired it with a 316L stainless steel case for its durability and beautiful shine. Also, the strap boasts premium genuine leather, which feels comfortable against your skin. With a watch this good looking (and easy to read), it’s a great gadget to start your morning.
