Psychedelic Watches

Test Card Watch by D&G Looks Like TV Color Bars

The Test Card Watch by Dolce & Gabbana is a colorful timepiece and stands out in their collection.

The Test Card Watch was inspired by the first BBC electronic test cards and was portrayed on the dial, sure to give users flashbacks of childhood cartoon watching.

The Test Card Watch not only gives you a blast from the past (who can forget those SMPTE color bars?), but also has a one-touch black light and is water resistant up to 50m.
