Designed for space with a pinch of magic.

"There is no function without design. And vice versa."

Made for trailblazers. For visionaries inspiring our world and beyond.
Those transforming tomorrow. For pioneers, explorers and future Martians.
Titanium is one of the most impressive metals in the world. Compared to stainless steel it cuts the weight almost in half. It is more durable, non-magnetic, hypoallergenic, scratch and corrosion resistant. This makes Titanium the ultimate material – especially within the field of aerospace.
Titanium. After all it is just awesome.
The one and only watch designed for space. A mission tool made of titanium:
Exceptional. Solid. Sandblasted.
The titanium Block Bracelet is of the highest quality and intensifies the character of AMADEE-20.
Precision milled: With more than 8mm of range the Slide Clasp offers full flexibility. Perfect fit. Any time. Any planet.
The average time lag between Mars and Earth is 10 minutes. This is the reason why we invented the MCB™. With a simple turn of the bezel the astronauts know exactly when further communication will be arriving from ground control.
Remarkable. Reimagined. Reinvented. A dial that draws you in and blows you away. An immersive experience. There is nothing alike. Unique. Always surprising.
Multiple finishes on the surface enhance different areas of the stardust-gray dial.
Sandstorms on Mars are no fun — they can cover the whole planet with sand just in two weeks.
In keeping with that, we sandblasted the new AMADEE-20 instead of a brushed or polished finish. The result: beautiful sandlike color and hardly any reflections.
To help measuring the elapsed time on certain experiments we created the Grand Counter. Function and readability are key on the Grand Counter. A sunburst finish allows for good contrasts and greater capturing speed.
It can count up to 30 minutes. It is created in a very bold, readable way. That’s why we call it “Grand Counter”.
The embossed lines symbolize the orbit of Mars with its natural axis.
Big numerals that are applied onto the dial and injected with the highest quality of Superluminova® X1 are key for this mission watch in space.
Designed and handcrafted by Nick Mankey
An inconceivably comfortable elastic watch band system that utilizes the industry’s first ever “Hook and Loop” closure system.
„Built to endure the challenges here on Earth and beyond. It's an honor and a privilege to tag along on this historic journey! “

AMADEE is the epitome for analog Mars missions preparing mankind for the next giant leap. The by far greatest adventure of our generation: Humans exploring Mars!
Mission length

Negev desert, Israel
Organizations in charge
Austrian Space Forum (OeWF), Israel Space Agency and D-Mars
Within the Mission Patch applied on the dial one can find a lot of meaningful symbols:
Lines and Dots
The thin lines and dots remind of the orbits of Earth and Mars
The Olive Branch
It is a symbol of peace and the national tree of Israel
Leaves
6 leaves stand for 6 Analog Astronauts
Olives
Olives stand for the 3 experimental fields Biology, Geology and Engineering
Three colors, three meanings:
Gold
Sun and desert
Blue & White
National colors of Israel and Earth
Black
Vastness of Space.
The Austrian Space Forum is the only organization in Europe – and one of only four worldwide – to develop spacesuit technology for human Mars missions. With their cutting-edge scientific research, they are an inspiration for the next generation explorers.
Analog Astronauts are real Astronauts – on Earth. They are specifically trained to test all aspects for future planetary missions: They are the space pioneers. Paving the way.
"For me personally, the best thing about spaceflight is that people with very different expertise come together and work together towards a common goal. It's amazing what you can achieve when you motivate each other and think outside the box together"
