Atari says it&#8217;s powered by &#8220;a Japanese automatic movement.&#8221; The watch has a stainless steel 50mm case and a sapphire lens. It also has a 20 ATM rating for water resistance at depths of up to 200 meters, so it should be sturdy enough if you want to wear it while scuba diving.<\/p>\n<p> <span id=\"end-legacy-contents\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The timepiece even comes in a case that looks like an <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/atari-vcs-now-available-193329467.html\">Atari VCS<\/a>. Atari and Nubeo created five colorways for it: nebula blue, supernova red, nova nightfall, plasma pumpkin and celestial citrine.
