A limited run of Swiss-made Dent commemorative watches launched on SpaceX CRS-32 in April 2025, rode out a month aboard the International Space Station, and came home in their NASA packaging. Each one ships with a certificate that it flew in space.
A small number of the flown watches are available. Watchmakers can also ask about sending their own timepieces up on a future payload.
A group of watch owners and project leads watched the launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
After just over 31 days on station, the Dragon capsule undocked for the trip home.
Dragon came down off the California coast at about 1:45 a.m. EDT.
Voyager Space received our payload from NASA. The watches remain sealed in their original NASA packaging until they go out to owners.
The mission supported our friends at Aquarius Reef Base, and was made possible through our collaboration with Voyager Space. The arrangement is set out in a Space Act Agreement you can read on NASA's website.
A limited-edition Swiss-made automatic, with a stainless steel case, scratch-proof sapphire crystal, water resistance to 500 meters (50 ATM) and a helium escape valve. Every watch comes with a certificate that it flew in space.
Dent started in 2012 as a community of people trying to "put a dent in the universe," and space has been part of it from the beginning. Astronaut Cady Coleman sits on our advisory board, along with the designers of the command and control systems for JPL's Flight Operations Center. We hosted the Dent:Space conference in San Francisco for 600 people from the industry, and several Denters spent time aboard Aquarius, the undersea lab NASA used for its NEEMO training missions until the base was decommissioned. A few even stayed the night 10 fathoms down.
On April 21, 2025, watch owners and project leads gathered at Kennedy Space Center to see CRS-32 lift off with our watches aboard.

For more than a decade, Dent has put astronauts, scientists and engineers in front of San Diego Comic-Con audiences, and thousands of people have come to our space panels. Speakers have included Cady Coleman, who coached Sandra Bullock for Gravity; Tim Kopra, now CEO of Starlab Space, which is building a private space station; and Hubble repair veteran Mike Massimino.
