Wrist Watch
Svper11 is a celebration of the NASA Apollo11 mission - one of the most inspiring achievements in human history. The face was designed to resemble the landing site area - Mare Tranquillitatis in a form of 3D topographic map. Other elements are also inspired by the mission, like the crown that is a scaled replica of the NASA spacesuit oxygen valves. The use of technical ceramic of the case back references the ceramic tiles used as insulator on the Space Shuttle. Subtle branding adds detail without taking away from the main inspiration behind the watch.
