Watchmaker Nubeo has put its Torrent Automatic Atari Rainbow Limited Edition timepieces on sale, so they’re all available at 20% off. Five colorways are there for the picking, each one reduced from $564 to $451 with the auto-applied coupon. If you are one of the folks who appreciates retro consoles and bold design-forward wristwatches, these designs might scratch your itch.

The Torrent Automatic Atari Rainbow Limited Edition from Nubeo comes in the following five colorways: Azure Arcade, Orange Curve, Pine Pixel, Shadow Console, and Spectrum. The watchmaker has only produced 100 of each variant.
Nubeo explains the watches were “inspired by the iconic design language of classic Atari consoles” and therefore mix pixel-era nostalgia with its modern watches, to celebrate color and culture. The firm usually specializes in designs inspired by sea and space, so these are something of a departure. However, we note it has previously collaborated with Atari on its Ventana Automatic Atari Retro Gamer Limited Editions, its Console Automatic Atari Asteroids 2600 Limited Edition, and its near-$2,000 Ventana Automatic Atari Asteroids 45th Limited Edition timepieces. Then it also has some eye-catching Space Invaders themed wristwatches.
“Each Nubeo timepiece is defined by performance, functionality yet with a design language that blends the organic and natural with the industrial in a manner that makes for a truly unique exhibition of time,” explains the firm behind these retro console-inspired watches.
We’ve seen companies like Atari sometimes lending their esteemed brands to less than stellar products, so it is refreshing to see some high-end merchandise bearing the marque. There have been some hits and misses from Atari recently, though. I enjoyed testing the Atari Gamestation Go (from MyArcade) with 200+ games and SD card expandability last year. In contrast, the 2021 Atari VCS reboot was slated for its price, convoluted setup, and noise.
