The Unimatic x Massena LAB U1-SPG 'NASA Artemis' timepiece has been created in collaboration between the brands as a watch engineered with active lifestyles and the concept of space travel in mind. The retro-futuristic timepiece is characterized by its eye-catching burnt orange finish achieved with Cerakote and will thus call to mind previous space launches. The watch is constructed with a 40mm case crafted out of 316L stainless steel with water resistance to 300-meters, while the movement inside comes in the form of the Seiko NH34A automaton with the GMT function.
The Unimatic x Massena LAB U1-SPG 'NASA Artemis' timepiece is only being retailed through the Massena LAB website where shoppers can pick it up for $1,295, though only 99 examples will be created.
