RJ-Romain Jerome introduces the Next Level to the Space Invaders collection.
About three years ago, Romain Jerome announced the signing of the very special license agreement with TAITO Corporation, authorizing the production of the Space Invaders themed timepieces. The limited edition Space Invaders model was launched in 2011, honoring the pop culture of the eighties, and paying a tribute to the classic arcade video game. This year, Romain Jerome expands its Games-DNA collection and introduces the “Next Level” to the “Space Invaders” range. In addition, the smaller diameter is more fitting for ladies, which means that the brand is now also giving us a chance to create pairs, for him or for her.

The 40mm version of the generational timepiece, aimed especially at those who grew up during 1980’s, comes in a black PVD-coated steel case. The Space Invaders 40mm is available in two different renditions, each produced in a limited edition of only 78 pieces. Same as the first two series of Space Invaders watches, the Next Level lineup is presented in instantly recognizable Moon Invader cases, which are made of steel amalgamated with fragments of an Apollo 11 capsule. The case-back of each piece from this series is decorated with a dedicated medallion made of Moon Silver, a special alloy that incorporates genuine Moon Dust.

RJ-Romain Jerome Space Invaders 40mm comes with a complex three-layer dial, with the first two tiers bead blasted after a straight graining procedure, which gives them a distinctive pixelated finish. The hand-lacquered Space Invaders figurines, either colored or white, are arranged on the uppermost layer and topped by the sapphire crystal glass. The centrally-positioned hour and minute hands, which are made from oxidized black steel coated with C1 superluminova, are propelled by the mechanical self-winding movement RJ003-A. The mechanism beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph, and it provides around 40 hours of power reserve. In order ensure an optimal level of accuracy and shock resistance, the movement is mounted on 30 jewels.

RJ-Romain Jerome Space Invaders 40mm watches are mounted on black rubber straps with grainy-textured interior of stellar-patterned strap. The straps are fitted with black PVD-coated steel buckles. The suggested retail price for this limited edition model is CHF 11,990, which is around EUR 11,950, or USD 14,950.
