Starting at $386 dollars for the standard Miyota powered version this new release which is currently live on Kickstarter has a ton of neat and geeky features for the watch enthusiast like myself. There is also infinite add-ons which include custom engraving, custom steel band, Sapphire caseback, and even a Launch into near Space which is filmed ! The case itself ( features Mars Dust at the 3:00 )comes in a black or silver orientation or copper / gold. It is moderately sized I think coming with 100M of water resistance with dimensions of 43MM x 12.6MM thick. The cases are all sandblasted and fitted with a genuine Sapphire crystal as well. The option for a titanium caseback and titanium bracelet are also available which literally gives you infinite options when it comes to customizing your Nasa timepiece, which I really dig. Basically, the more expensive swiss powered version is comprised of titanium whilst the 316L steel model is equipped with the Miyota calibre. So far so good no? Movements Utilized The movements incorporated are two movements I have had much experience with and are great base calibers. One being the Miyota 8 series which is reliable and has a decent power reserve of around 40 hours or so. It beats at 3HZ and is a movement that will last years to come without servicing or regular maintenace. On the more expensive side we have the Selitta SW caliber which is closely related to the ETA 2824 and is a very robust and durable swiss made automatic movement. It features hand winding, hacking seconds, and a 38 hour power reserve with a beat rate of 28,800 BPH. Personally, I would go for the SW200 Considering it is definitely a much higher quality movement in my eyes, but you will pay more. Furthermore guys - This watch has ALOT to offer that other brands simply cannot offer the average watch enthusiast at a price below $900 or $400! They definitely went above and beyond then what most campaigns offer via watches on Kickstarter. I can definitely reccommend this one to my viewers as it is truly special and has infinite options for your customized personal NASA approved watch. Hope you guys enjoyed!
