Benlydesign opened pre-orders for Desktop 95 — a watch with a Windows 95-style dial

Users missing the Windows 95 operating system will receive the limited-edition, themed Desktop 95 watch from Benlydesign in November, which has been tested under extreme conditions.

Benlydesign has opened pre-orders for the rather unusual limited-edition Desktop 95 watch (limited to 500 pieces). The dial comes in two versions — turquoise and beige, which also differ in their open windows.

Mouse cursors from Windows 95 are used as the hands. Versions of the watch with a leather strap or Milanese loop will cost $159 (13,018 rubles), while the variant with a steel bracelet goes for $169 (13,837 rubles).

The Desktop 95 features a Swiss quartz movement. Case dimensions are 39 × 44.5 mm, thickness is 10 mm, case material is 316L stainless steel, caseback is stainless steel, strap size is 13.5–20.5 cm, and strap width is 20 mm.

To guarantee water resistance at the specified depth, every single piece is completely submerged in water, where it is subjected to pressure corresponding to the claimed water resistance rating (5 ATM).

During the certification process, the watch undergoes testing under extreme conditions. This phase includes shock-resistance tests that verify the watch’s reliability and confirm that it maintains accuracy after severe mechanical impact.

They are engineered to withstand impacts equivalent to a 1-meter drop onto a hard wooden floor. For a standard watch weighing 150 grams, such sudden and rapid acceleration exerts a load on the case equivalent to forces up to 5,000 G.
