Most “gaming collaboration” watches feel like an afterthought. Slap a logo somewhere, charge a premium, call it a day. The Nubeo Quasar Space Invaders Limited Edition does not play that game, pun fully intended.
This is a NB-6082-SI-33, built in partnership with Taito to mark 45 years since Space Invaders first ate up everyone’s pocket change in arcades. And honestly, once you look past the gimmick angle, there is a genuinely competent automatic watch underneath all that nostalgia.

What You’re Actually Buying Here
Let’s get the boring but important stuff out of the way first, because this is where a lot of “limited edition” watches quietly cut corners.
The Quasar runs on a Japanese automatic movement with 24 jewels, self winding, no battery required, ever. Case diameter sits at a substantial 48mm, finished in stainless steel, paired with a gold toned stainless steel bracelet that gives it that unmistakable “I collect things” look. Water resistance comes in at 200 metres, which is honestly more than most buyers will ever need, but it’s nice to have the headroom.
The crystal is sapphire, not mineral glass, which matters more than people realise until they scratch a cheaper watch within six months. Nubeo backs the whole thing with a 2 year international warranty.

The Price Situation Is Where It Gets Interesting
Now here’s where I’ll be straight with you. On Tata CLiQ Luxury, this watch lists at an MRP of Rs 1,23,500, discounted down to Rs 49,400, which works out to a 60 percent cut. There’s an EMI option starting around Rs 1,737 a month if you’d rather spread the cost, and at the time of writing there’s an extra coupon (TWE10) knocking off another 10 percent, capped at Rs 2,000.
Sixty percent off sounds dramatic, and to be fair, “limited edition” watches in this space almost always carry an inflated MRP that nobody actually expects you to pay. That’s just how this category works globally, not a Tata CLiQ specific quirk. Worth knowing before you get swept up in the discount math.
What If You Want This On Amazon Instead
Here’s something worth flagging clearly: the exact NB-6082-SI-33 Quasar variant currently isn’t listed on Amazon.in. It’s available through Tata CLiQ Luxury and Nubeo’s own channels internationally.
If Amazon is your preferred platform, Nubeo does have a sibling watch from the same Space Invaders collaboration listed there, the Magellan Chronograph Space Invaders Limited Edition (NB-6024-SI). Worth being upfront that this isn’t the same watch. It runs a meca-quartz chronograph movement rather than the Quasar’s automatic engine, and it comes in a tonneau shaped case rather than round. Same 45th anniversary tribute, same Taito partnership, different execution entirely.

If you specifically want an automatic movement and don’t mind exploring Nubeo’s wider catalogue, Amazon.in does stock other automatic models from the brand, like the Supermassive Tourbillon and the Davinci Limited Edition. Not Space Invaders themed, but built on similar mechanical foundations.

Should You Actually Buy It
If you grew up feeding coins into an arcade cabinet, or even if you just appreciate when a brand collaboration doesn’t feel lazy, the Quasar earns its keep. A sapphire crystal, genuine automatic movement, and 200m water resistance at this price point isn’t something to dismiss casually, discount math aside.
The catch is availability. This is a limited run, and limited usually means exactly that. If the Quasar specifically calls to you, I wouldn’t sit on the decision for too long. If you’re more flexible and want something from this collaboration with the convenience of Amazon delivery and return policies, the Magellan Chronograph variant linked above is a solid alternative worth a look.
