10 Artemis II Keepsakes - From DIY Watches to LEGO Rockets 2The Artemis II crew already made their trip around the Moon, and space nostalgia’s been on overdrive ever since. Omega Speedmasters get all the spotlight, but the Artemis program’s inspired a lot more than flight-rated chronographs. We’re talking DIY smartwatches you solder yourself, Casio mods done up for the Moon crew, and LEGO rockets tall enough to watch over your desk.

Here’re ten Artemis-themed watches and gadgets that probably didn’t land in your feed, but absolutely should’ve. And this trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon, because NASA’s Moon missions are only just getting started. These gadgets are how we commemorate being alive to witness this moment in history, in our own lifetime.

1 Omega Speedmaster X-33 Gen 2

This is the watch NASA actually flight-qualified for Artemis II. All four astronauts wore the Omega Speedmaster X-33 Gen 2 on the outside of their suits as they boarded for the April 1, 2026 launch (the X-33 is qualified for spaceflight but not EVA, so it’s not the moonwalking watch). It’s a digital-analog hybrid built with titanium, a mission elapsed time function, and preset alarms for scheduling tasks during the flight.

Not cheap, but it’s the closest thing to an official Artemis watch you can buy. Omega actually discontinued the Gen 2 X-33 (ref 3291.50) for public sale around 2006, so buyers now hunt the secondary market where prices tend to climb well past original retail. Collectors chase it for the mission pedigree more than the looks, which tells you everything about how much cachet this piece carries right now.

2 CircuitMess NASA Artemis Watch 2.0

If you’d rather build your wearable than buy it, the $129 CircuitMess Artemis Watch 2.0 is a NASA-themed DIY smartwatch kit you assemble and code yourself (often on sale around $99, so keep an eye out). It runs custom watch faces, small apps, and teaches the basics of wearable electronics.

Price: $129
Where to Buy: Amazon (DIY), CircuitMess

Think of it as a STEM toy that actually graduates with you into a daily-wear gadget. The kit ships with a color LCD, haptics, and a rechargeable battery, so a finished build feels closer to a real smartwatch than a classroom prop. Parents buy it for their kids, then quietly keep wearing it themselves.

3 Timex NASA Artemis Collection

Timex dropped its Artemis-inspired lineup back in September 2025, and the T80-style digital model still flies under the radar at $75. It’s a chunky retro digital in lunar white resin, with graphics nodding to the Artemis program’s branding, for less than the cost of a fancy dinner.

Price: $79
Where to Buy: Timex

The 36mm resin case wears comfortably under a cuff, and the INDIGLO backlight, day-date, alarm, and timer keep it practical day to day. It’s also one of the few Artemis pieces you can actually find in stock right now.

4 Xeric NASA Artemis Chrono Gateway Limited Edition

Xeric’s Artemis Chrono Gateway is a $425 NASA-authorized chronograph inspired by the Gateway lunar station. The dial’s packed with mission-style markings, and it’s numbered as a limited edition for collectors. If you want a mid-range piece with real Artemis branding, this one’s quietly one of the best-looking options on the shelf.

Price: $425

Inside is a Seiko VK63 MecaQuartz movement, and the 40mm case lands in the sweet spot for daily wear. Each one is individually numbered on the caseback, so you’re not getting a generic production run.

5 Zelos Artemis Damascus

For the boutique-watch crowd, the Zelos Artemis Damascus is the wild card. At $2,499 it’s not cheap, but you’re getting a hand-forged Damascus steel case paired with a titanium midcase and a skeletonized dial that shows off the Swiss Marvin 700 movement underneath. It’s not officially NASA-licensed, but the Artemis theme’s baked into every design decision. This is the one your watch-nerd friend hasn’t shown you yet. Each case takes on a slightly different woodgrain pattern because of how Damascus steel is forged, so no two pieces are truly identical. It’s a limited release, and once Zelos sells through, the secondary market won’t be kind.

6 Nocturnal Time Artemis Casio Royale Mod

Nocturnal Time’s $135 Artemis mod dresses up a classic Casio digital for Artemis II. There’s a printed graphic tucked into the top-left corner of the dial, covering the tiny analog sub-clock with a custom Artemis design.

Price: From $135
Where to Buy: Nocturnal Time

The Gadgeteer covered this one in April 2026, and it’s become a sleeper hit for people who love Casio mods and space lore equally. Each mod is done by hand, so lead times vary, but the underlying Casio AE-1200 (a.k.a. the “Casio Royale”) is a proven cult classic with world time, five alarms, and a 10-year battery, so the watch earns its keep beyond the Artemis graphic.

7 Fisher Space Pen Eclipse

The Fisher Space Pen’s been to the Moon before, and the Eclipse model keeps the tradition going for $19. It writes at any angle, in any gravity, and on just about any surface, which makes it weirdly practical for earthbound users too.

Price: From $16.20 (Discounted)
Where to Buy: Amazon




Pair it with a notebook and you’ve got the cheapest Artemis-adjacent gadget on this list. Original Fisher Space Pens flew aboard Apollo 7 back in 1968, which means the design in your pocket is essentially unchanged from the one that wrote the first checklist in orbit.

8 LEGO Technic NASA Artemis Space Launch System Rocket

The LEGO Technic Artemis SLS Rocket clocks in at $59.99 and builds into a display-worthy model with working mission details. It’s pulled hundreds of ratings on retail pages for good reason, because the engineering detail rivals some of LEGO’s grown-up Icons sets.

Price: $59.99
Where to Buy: Amazon




This one’s the gift for a space-obsessed teenager who’s already bored of standard LEGO. The build clocks in at 632 pieces (set number 42221) with articulated stages and a detachable Orion capsule, so you can walk through the Artemis II flight path on your coffee table once it’s done. Fully built, it stands about 27.5 inches tall.

9 LEGO Icons NASA Artemis SLS 10341

Set 10341 scales up the SLS for display-first adult builders. Taller footprint, more surface detail, and a display stand that makes it shelf-worthy for anyone who treats their rocket models like art.

Price: $259.99
Where to Buy: Amazon

The full set runs 3,601 pieces and stands about 28 inches (70 cm) tall once assembled, with a retail price of $259.99. It’s not a weekend build, but the payoff is a centerpiece that stops traffic in any room it lives in.

10 NASA Artemis II Commemorative Coin With Names Display

The Space Store’s $21.95 Artemis II mission coin sits inside a two-sided acrylic display that shows the mission patch on one face and the astronaut names on the other. It’s the kind of desk gadget that’s small enough to ignore until someone walks by and spots it, then suddenly you’re talking moon missions for the next forty-five minutes.

Price: $21.95
Where to Buy: The Space Store

Low-key, high-reward. It ships in its acrylic display case, which makes it gift-ready without extra wrapping. It’s the kind of commemorative piece that ages well, especially once Artemis III flies and this first crewed flyby becomes the one that kicked everything off.

Final Thoughts

Artemis gear isn’t just patches and hoodies anymore. From flight-qualified Omegas to solderable DIY watches and LEGO rockets the size of a toddler, there’s a whole ecosystem of moon-mission gear worth showing off. Pick whichever one fits your wrist size, desk space, and wallet, and you’re set. Artemis II was only the opening chapter, with Artemis III’s lander rendezvous test queued for 2027 and the first crewed lunar landing now targeted for Artemis IV in 2028, so expect another wave of commemorative pieces the moment those launch dates firm up. There will be more, and we’ll be on the lookout.
