I love science fiction, I love space and I love unusual things!
This is beautiful combination of simple aesthetics and complex inners that looks like it was pulled straight from a dystopian future.

I've known about Niwa for a while and there are others who make similar but not as refined as this beauty .

Initially I was a bit worried the Nebula colour would be too feminine for my taste but it's actually way nicer in the flesh or titanium so to speak !

It's a dark mat purple with a gold hue that looks amazing in day light as well as an evening glow where it stays dark purple and this really compliments the inners of the watch.

It's true you can't help looking up close at all the little rods, filaments and wires that make this stunning watch work.

The case so far has remained pristine, I was worried about scratches but like anything if it happens it happens ,it adds to the character of that dystopian future I mentioned.

Like most, it doesn't take long to tell the time, once you map out those glowing tubes in your head you pick it up quickly.

The straps included are really nice as it's it's presentation box but I confess I found a Very nice black German chunky shark mesh strap which just add to the whole look perfectly.

I really like the charging method using the magnet cable, I bought my wife an early version of this watch in the Neptune case ,which she loves and it has the wooden base version but she likes that charger over mine so there you have it !

The meteor slither in the back adds to the conversation when people ask about the glowing thing on your wrist as well as the name .

And it's true it happens quite often so get used to talking to strangers.

The cost considering the materials is pretty darn good , I was worrying about water proofing, in all fairness my phone has an IPX rating and I don't get it wet but knowing if I'm out in the rain or it gets splashed it'll be fine suits me .

so far I've charged it once and I'm on my third day and it's doing great , I keep looking at it .
In bright sun it's a little tricky to read at a glance but what isn't.
Set up is really easy and I like the magnet switch.
I like these watches so much I ordered it's bigger tubed brother and I can see myself getting the full collection over the year .
Customer service has been great as was delivery .

One more thing ,I haven't worn a watch since 2000 well that also changed , so if you're in doubt I can say even as a collectors item it's great to own one or a couple of these .
A conversation starter for sure , attention grabber...yes.....will you make new friends....maybe !
Great job team Niwa !

NIWA Lunokhod watch. Carina Nebula case.

Really happy with the watch, still learning to tell the time, but it is a real conversation starter because it looks steampunky and the telling of time is special.
I ordered multiple straps, but with the 'purpleish' color of the case most of the leather straps don't really match, which is a bit of a shame, but will use the straps on other watches, and for now use the steel purple magnet band.

Bonjour, grand amateur de Nixie, je n'ai pas pu passer la Lunokohd. Très belle montre portable avec ces 39 cm de diamètre et d'une finition exemplaire par rapport au prix. Il est un peux difficile de lire l'heure mais c'est tellement beau à voir; que c'est secondaire. C'est très beau de voir ces petits dot et c'est sans aucun doute, un bel objet à acquérir

First, I collect several kinds of watches.
Second, If a watch does not wow me, I very likely will not buy it or keep it.
Third, the Lunokhod has it all. Titanium case, why? Because they can. Sapphire crystal, why? Because they can. Meteorite, why? Because they can. Options on case colors, why? Because they can. Optional meteorite with the charging dock, why? Because they can. Seeing a theme here?
Fourth, Fit and finish are excellent.
Fifth, Wow.

The tube colors are fantastic. The tilt function needs to be set to at least 75 degrees or more to save the battery and when you do, you'll get 9+ days out of it before having to charge it. They certainly could have gone stainless steel and no meteorite and no style cardboard box for the watch, but they didn't. Buy one, you will be blown away. 😎
