Keep time like a moon base commander

The watch mavens at Japan's Tokyoflash seem to be caught in some kind of time warp. Recently, they introduced the Shaft-era theme of "Pimpin Ain't Easy" for their LED watches, clad appropriately in 18k gold plate. Now, they give us the "Numeri-color" model, which their site describes as "straight off the wrist of a Moon Base Commander from a 1960s Sci-Fi classic." We like the watch's look, but there's just one issue: We'd never be able to figure out what time it was. And that could be especially problematic when trying to figure out last call.
