The dial of this watch was cut directly from the booster of the rocket (tank). The surface has been left original. It shows – typical for Werenbach – visible traces of the mission.
The combination of precisely milled, polished hour markers with the olive-grey colour of the rocket gives the watch a sporty, elegant retro look. This watch is for people who like an uncompromising design.
Special feature: Limited series of 60 pieces dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the first space flight. The watch comes with a special certificate, special packaging and with an astronaut key ring. The material comes from the Soyuz MS-09 rocket mission.

Original rocket aluminium.
Supplied with the leftover part of the rocket fragment.
The dial of this model is milled directly from the rocket and bears the original colour and surface quality (wear and tear, traces of colour). Thanks to these organic traces of wear and tear, each dial is totally unique on closer inspection.
During its mission, the rocket material left Earth and made contact with space at an altitude of 45 km.

The dials are produced in a multi-stage, precision mechanical manufacturing process. They pass through a number of quality checks and surface inspections before being selected for use. The unmistakable appearance of the dials arises from the combination of high-quality, rhodium-plated indices (in some models, facetted) and precision-engineered milled grooves.
Patina and rocket dust.
The dial of this rocket watch comes from the booster. The rocket debris are personally salavaged by Werenbach in the steppe, allowing us to identify (and certify) which rocket mission the material comes from.
Soyuz MS-09. The rocket in space.
The Soyuz MS-09 carried flight engineer Alexander Gerst to space in a successful manned mission launched on 6 June, 2018. Two days later, we recovered the material in the Kazakh steppe.

Rockets fly into space in three stages. The first stage is jettisoned in two parts: one at an altitude of 45 km, the second at an altitude of 85 km. The burnt-out rocket parts fall into the uninhabited steppe of Kazakhstan. Stage 3 reaches orbit at an altitude of about 200 km, just 8.59 seconds after leaving Earth. From this altitude, the spacecraft flies to the International Space Station at an altitude of about 400 km.
There is no ‘fixed boundary’ to outer space. Rather, the transition between space and the Earth’s atmosphere is fluid. The Fédération Aéronautique International (FAI) adopts the so-called Kármán line, which sets the boundary at an altitude of 100 km. For the US Air Force (USAF) outer space begins at 80 km. Viewed according to this definition, parts of the Soyuz fairing have crossed the boundary to outer space. These rarer watch models can be identified by their white dials and the lettering ‘FAIRING MATERIAL’.
Richly detailed. Expertly executed.
Design shaped by the rocket itself.
The rocket gives the space watch its ‘face’. Each dial retains the original colour and traces of the space mission. The rocket gives the space watch its ‘face’. Each dial retains the original colour and traces of the space mission.
‘BOOSTER MATERIAL’ means that the material originates from the booster. The coordinates on the dial indicate the launch point of the rocket in Baikonur. ‘ORBIT 8:49 MIN’ is a reminder of the time the rocket requires to reach orbit.
Anniversary Edition.
This year marks 60 years since cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey into space. To commemorate this, all Soyuz 02 rocket watches produced in 2021 will take form of a special anniversary adition.
The back of the watch is open to allow a glimpse at its most intricate component: the balance wheel. This oscillates constantly and breathes life into the mechanics.
Design. Manufacturing. Zurich.
Spaceborn.
Werenbach stands for exclusive rocket watches. Unlike other luxury watchmakers, Werenbach defines exclusivity not in terms of high prices, but by the things that make its watches unique: the recycling of original rocket material, the salvaging of this material by hand and the ‘spaceborn’ philosophy that unites its wearers.
Spaceborn is the mindset of an astronaut: one who has looked down from space and admired our Blue Planet from above. In doing so, the astronaut experiences the Earth’s beauty afresh and perceives how small it is compared to the universe. This new perspective changes their thinking. They are acutely aware of our status as a tiny part of a ginormous whole.
