*I got the manufacturer check the dimensions, and they told me that they can make this. But still some details might change.
**All of the images on this product page has the dial + hand and straps, but I am only selling the case here. The Dial is sold separately here: Spaceship Dial Prototype
***THANK YOU EVERYONE, WE ARE MAKING THIS SHIP! The current estimate of completion is April, but it might be best to always expect some delays. You know, hyperspace drive sometimes fails like in the movies!
Now we have the UFO, but what about a SPACESHIP for us human race to ride on?
- The Spaceship -
This is a collaboration between my friend Sibito / SHM Creations. He brought me an idea of making a spaceship watch case. And me, a sci-fi and toy -loving person, I said YES!
Originally this was supposed to be inspired by Razor Crest, and I think you can still see some remembrance in the front part of the case. But as you guessed it, it is also inspired by Millennium Falcon from Star Wars.
It looks bigger than my previous watches / watch cases, one side (from crown to the backside of the watch) is 47.4mm, but the width is actually 39mm.
It will hold 22mm width strap. From this angle it looks like it's coming out from the spaceship's exhaust system!
The front lugs are placed below the cockpit-crown!
This "tilt", actually makes it easier to check the time maybe, on some wrist sizes. Maaaaybe.
Ah, I would also like to inform you that from these prototypes I will not be able to make any profit. All the money will be used for making the molds and the prototypes, and I will also be spending my own money in order to make these. So it's a negative profit project.
The reason for this is to keep the prototype price as same or as similar as the later price of the mass produced version. And don't worry, I will have some profit after mass production... Hopefully!

1-Year Manufacturing Defects Warranty
I have been wearing one of the functioning prototypes for almost 6 months. So far, it's functioned with no problems, and I am confident that it would for at least the next 6 months.
The reason I made sure that it's specifically 1-Year warranty for "Manufacturing Defects" is that I believe that most of the people who have never utilized the warranty of a product don't realize that the warranty only covers Manufacturing Defects. Some watch brands offer a longer warranty, such as 5 years or 10 years—but by then, how would you know that your broken watch suffered a manufacturing defect, or normal wear-and-tear? And would you ever be able to convince the brand's customer service that it was indeed a manufacturing defect?
Their warranty doesn't cover wear-and-tear, or user error, and neither does this warranty. But I do think it is important to clarify that it is a warrant for manufacturing defects, instead of just issuing that it is a vaguely worded "warranty" which sounds like something that might cover something more than manufacturing defects. And 1 year is enough time to warrant manufacturing defects.
