The timepiece is a take on the brand's Retrograph form and features a matte black dial that is covered with chromatic accents of orange, yellow and blue hues. [Pixelated images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok) are abound on the timepiece alongside hands on the chronographs that are quite squiggly albeit totally functional in design. The 8-Bit Brew Chronograph Watch is powered by a [Seiko](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-prospex-speedtimer-ssc947) VK64 meca quartz chronograph movement that's housed inside the stainless steel case, which is further enhanced with a sapphire crystal glass. The watch is priced at $395.
