Tudor Replica Watches created two limited editions of Space Invaders watches to evoke memories from an iconic 1980s video game. The coin-operated arcade games addicts can now read the time on a funny and cool dial colonized with pixilated Space Invaders.
The SPACE INVADERS(r) were created by the Japanese Corporation TAITO in 1978. They quickly became popular worldwide, even leading to a shortage in Japan of 100-yen coin. RJ-Romaine Jerome used these as inspiration to create new timepieces paying tribute to the interesting products of late 20th century popular culture.
The Tudor Replica Watches features 3.5mm Space Invaders in different colors in the "day" version, or coated with Superluminova in the "night" version.
The case is 46 mm wide and has a round face with an almost rectangular back. It is a replica of the Moon Invader Series, released earlier this year at Basel Watch Show. It also has a very cool feature: steel combined with fragments of the Apollo 11 capsule.
The case looks like a strongbox or spaceship, and has four joints that are shaped like the feet of lunar landing modules. These are both aesthetic and functional. They hold the rubber strap lugs and make it adjustable for different wrist sizes.
The RJ security screws are used to secure the caseback (Tudor Replica Watches). A stellar pattern is then applied on the back of the caseback, which represents the surface of the moon. The caseback is plated in Moon SilverRJ, an alloy of silver with a low oxidation rate that incorporates moon rocks.

Thousands of hours of television programs and hundreds cultural exhibitions are dedicated to this generational icon", said Emch.
