Atari & Nubeo Launch Limited-Edition Asteroids
January 28, 2025
Atari, one of the most legendary names in gaming history, has teamed up with luxury watchmaker Nubeo to release a stunning limited-edition watch collection inspired by the 1979 arcade classic, Asteroids. This connection merges vintage gaming nostalgia with high-end watch craftsmanship, offering a timepiece that pays homage to one of the most iconic arcade games of all time.
The Asteroids-themed watch features a striking design that stays true to the game’s aesthetics while incorporating modern horology techniques. With a multi-layered disc system and luminescent details, this timepiece isn’t just a watch—it’s a wearable piece of video game history.
A Design Inspired by Classic Arcade Nostalgia
The Asteroids watch is designed to capture the essence of the original arcade game, blending retro-futuristic graphics with innovative watch mechanics. One of the most unique aspects of the design is its multi-layered disc system, which mimics the movement of objects in the game.
•Spaceship as the Second Hand – The watch’s second hand takes the form of the classic triangular spaceship from Asteroids, gliding smoothly around the dial.
•UFOs as Hour and Minute Indicators – Two UFO designs act as the hour and minute hands, staying true to the game’s intergalactic setting.
•Layered Dial System – The watch face consists of multiple layers, creating depth and movement that reflect the chaos and excitement of the arcade game.
These intricate design details allow the watch to stand out as both a collector’s item and a functional timepiece.
Precision Meets Retro Appeal
Beyond its striking visual appeal, the Asteroids watch is a high-performance timepiece, featuring Japanese automatic movement for precision and reliability. Automatic movements are powered by wrist motion, eliminating the need for a battery and reinforcing the watch’s status as a high-end collector’s item.
To add an extra layer of nostalgia, the watch face is treated with Swiss Super-LumiNova, a premium luminescent material that allows the graphics to glow in the dark. This not only enhances the watch’s visibility in low-light conditions but also recreates the neon glow of old-school arcade screens, making it feel like a direct tribute to gaming’s golden age.
A Collectible Masterpiece for Gamers and Watch Enthusiasts
This limited-edition release is more than just a timepiece—it’s a conversation starter, a collector’s dream, and a fusion of gaming history with luxury craftsmanship. Whether you’re an avid Atari fan, a retro gaming enthusiast, or a watch collector, the Asteroids watch by Nubeo and Atari is a unique addition to any collection.
With a limited number of units available, this timepiece is expected to become a sought-after item in both the gaming and watch communities. As Asteroids continues to hold a special place in video game history, this partnership ensures that its legacy lives on—this time, on your wrist.
