As our species attempts to colonize Mars in the coming decades, the NASA X Interstellar RED3.721 watch puts a small piece of the red planet on your wrist. Designed by Interstellar with a thumbs up from NASA, the RED3.721 watch honors humanity’s mission to Mars, the RED3.721 is the perfect tribute to our celestial neighbor. The watch face comes with a detailed relief graphic of the planet Mars, along with the coordinates of the Jezero Crater where NASA’s Perseverance rover landed. However, its most interesting element is at the 3 o’clock position in the form of not a date window, but rather a window containing an actual piece of a Martian meteorite.

We’ve seen our fair share of space-inspired watches that pay homage to planets, NASA missions, and human feats of astronomical discovery… but none of them quite match how utterly beautiful the RED3.721 watch is. The watch is a celebration of Mars and our efforts to explore it. The watch records the Perseverance rover’s journey from Earth to Mars. The date ‘February 18, 2021’ is engraved on the bezel of the watch, marking the day the Perseverance rover touched down on the surface of Mars. The rover landed in a 28-mile-wide crater called Jezero, whose coordinates are also engraved on the frame. Flip the watch on its back and the back comes with an artwork of the rover’s parachute, along with the coded message that read ‘Dare Mighty Things’. Even the name RED3.721 is a tribute to the red planet while the number “3.721” corresponds to the gravity of the planet observed during the NASA mission. Number “3,721” – Corresponds to the gravity of the planet observed during the NASA mission. The Red Planet – The dial shows the pattern and characteristics of Mars. “7 Minutes of Terror” – Entry, descent and landing are recognized as the shortest and most intense phase of the Mars 2020 mission. The Original NASA “Meatball” Logo – This gallery is courtesy of NASA. To let the watch face shine, the folks at Interstellar opted for a fairly simple, elegant watch case in 316L stainless steel or titanium, in black to represent the vast blackness of space while letting the red planet stand out. (there are even silver, gold and bronze variants). The watch face comes with a 3D relief pattern of the Martian landscape, created using real planetary data, along with a glowing binary code around the dial, which reads the date of the mission as well as recording “7 minutes of terror”, a phrase describing the 7 minutes between persistence entering the Martian atmosphere and landing safely in Jezero Crater. Genuine Martian Meteorite – The dust is extracted from a meteorite that has traveled millions of miles before finally crashing to earth. The most striking detail about the RED3.721 is obviously the relic that sits at the 3 o’clock position. Interstellar offers a choice between either having the NASA logo engraved on the 3 o’clock window, or incorporating a capsule containing real meteorite dust. The dust is from a Martian meteorite discovered in 2021 in northwest Africa, sourced by MSG Meteorites. Each meteor dust watch variant will even come with a certificate of authenticity. The RED3.721 watch offers two distinct movements – a Miyota 8215 automatic movement (combined with the 316L case) and a Sellita SW200-1 (integrated into the titanium case). Watch enthusiasts can pair their watch with either a leather or metal strap (steel or titanium, depending on the case material), and the Sellita and Miyota variants offer the option to upgrade your watch to the Mars Dust version with the particles meteorite trapped inside the clock. Each watch is rated water resistant to 10 ATM (100 meters) and features a sapphire crystal on top, protecting your watch from scratches and normal wear and tear. The RED3,721 starts at $398 for the Miyota with the NASA logo, or $497 to upgrade to the Mars Dust version. The titanium-encased Sellita variant (with Mars Dust) starts at $896. The watches start shipping in November 2022 and come with a 2-year warranty. Click here to buy now: $398. Hurry, only a few watches left! Over $395,000 raised.
