UNIMATIC x Massena LAB U1-SPG "NASA Artemis" – A Limited Edition Tribute to Space Exploration

Limited to 99 Pieces

UNIMATIC and Massena LAB present the Modello Uno U1-SPG “NASA Artemis”, a limited edition of 99 pieces, celebrating NASA’s Artemis program and the future of space exploration.

Inspired by the Artemis Mission

Set to launch in April 2026, Artemis II will return humans to the Moon’s South Pole, paving the way for a permanent lunar base. The watch takes its name from Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, and Apollo’s twin sister, symbolizing the continuation of lunar exploration.

Space-Inspired Design

The matte black dial features hour plots, a vintage NASA “worm” emblem, and a 24-hour track coated in Old Radium Super-LumiNova®. The hour, minute, second, and GMT hands are also lumed, along with the 60-minute rotating bezel for superior legibility.

The burnt orange Cerakote-coated case mirrors NASA’s SLS rocket. Cerakote, a durable, anti-corrosive ceramic coating, is used in aerospace applications. A charcoal Cerakote bezel and crown add contrast to the design.

Retro-Futuristic Inspiration

William Massena recalls NASA’s golden era, when the Space Shuttle program and sci-fi classics like Star Wars fueled dreams of limitless innovation. Giovanni Moro, co-founder of UNIMATIC, adds that the design reflects 1960s retro-futurism, particularly influenced by Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.
