[ via Romaine Jerome ]November 12, 2008 - Geneva, Switzerland - Timepieces made from fragments of the Apollo XI spacecraft, and the Soyuz spacecraft, dials with mineral structure containing Moon dust, with straps partly woven with fibers from an International Space Station spacesuit were launched here tonight by Romain Jerome, DNA of Famous Legends.The high Swiss watchmaker gained worldwide attention for its first Legends watches made with steel and coal dust from the stricken ocean liner R.M.S. Titanic.The next in the series, announced by CEO Yvan Arpa during a press conference and gala evening at the Kempinski Hotel, will be in limited editions of 1969 to celebrate man's first landing on the Moon in that year.Five watches in the Moon Dust-DNA series include the Moon Rider, Gold Mood, Dark Side of the Moon, Steel Mood and Dark side of the Moon Tourbillon with only nine pieces being made.The company guarantees that the origin of each of the unique materials is certified by a legal document authenticated in Switzerland and each piece in the collection will be accompanied by a certificated from the Association of Space Explorers.

This is an antique-looking watch which looks so cool especially for those who want their timepieces to come with some sort of history. The Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA T-Oxy IV Ultimate Rust Watch is actually a limited edition series with only 2,012 pieces made, so it is facing a status of rarity soon which adds to its value as a collector's item.The Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA T-Oxy IV Ultimate Rust Watch comes in an 18 Karat 5N pink gold case measuring 46mm in diameter. It is definitely the rusted bezel which gives the watch that antique look, but it is the black rough dial which gives it some texture.The watch is powered by a self-winding C22RJ51 Concepto Calibre movement by Jacquet. It has functions for seconds and date, hours and minutes so you have all you need in one device. It is protected by a double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The 50 meter water resistance level is however not that impressive.The small seconds counter as well as the date can be found at the sub-dial located at 9 o'clock. All this old glory is attached to a Hornback crocodile leather strap with an 18 Karat pink gold folding clasp. You can also for the rubber strap.
