The Apollo missions by NASA were some of humanity’s greatest engineering achievements of all time. Sending men to the surface of the moon remains one of humanity’s most ambitious projects, ever.

The Display Keyboard (DSKY) was a critical piece of technology that both the Command and Lunar Modules used to navigate and control their descent to the lunar surface.

Now, this vintage technology has been shrunken and turned into an amazing wristwatch that faithfully recreates the original design.

Called the DSKY Moonwatch, it is modeled after the guidance computer interface, and includes stopwatch, GPS navigation, and of course, a clock. It features a CNC-machined stainless steel case, OLED display, and a leather band.

It’s sure to be a conversation starter for space geeks and historians alike.

Pre-order from Apollo Instruments for $700.
