The watch is positioned as an accurate recreation of the [Apollo guidance computer interface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u1spg-nasa-artemis) used on the original Apollo spacecraft and thus has a detailed profile. The watch provides the wearer with an authentic user experience with a variety of operational routines that are presented in an authentic display format. The DSKY Moonwatch timepiece is available now for order via the brand's website for £649 and requires an order deposit of £240. The watch comes in two band color options and will be continually updated with software updates to enhance its overall functionality.
