Swatch and Omega have created a unique Swatch version of the Speedmaster Moonwatch.

This spring’s event collab

Nobody expected it and they did it! Mission accomplished for Swatch and Omega, which are offering a brilliant collection of eleven bioceramic watches named after the different planets in our solar system. Called “MoonSwatch”, these new editions combine the iconic design of the Speedmaster Moonwatch with the pop and colorful universe of Swatch.

Swatch x Omega, a successful marriage between the design of the Speedmaster Moonwatch and the pop and acidulous universe of Swatch.

Swatch x Omega, the fusion of two worlds

In mission mode Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, the variations display the characteristics of the Speedmaster Moonwatch.

Le cadran caractéristique de la MoonSwatch — The MoonSwatch has the characteristics of the Speedmaster Moonwatch with its asymmetrical case, these distinct counters…

Indeed, the asymmetrical case, the tachymetric scale with its traditional dot positioned above the number 90 and the distinctive counters typical of the Speedmaster Moonwatch are well present.

L'échelle tachymétrique de la MoonSwatch arbore le célèbre point sur le nombre 90. — …and its tachymetric scale with the traditional dot on the number 90.

Made from Swatch’s flagship material, bioceramic – a mix of 2/3 ceramic and 1/3 castor oil – they feature a 42mm case with a dial protected by a glass that reveals the following special feature: an “S” hidden in the center of the crystal. The whole is contrasted with hands and indexes covered with luminescent material to read the time in the darkness of space … of your room to start!

The battery cover displays the celestial body that the watch represents.

Ultimate detail on these quartz watches, the celestial bodies that the watch represents adorns the battery cover.

Le bracelet en Velcro© de la MoonSwatch — The MoonSwatch comes with a Velcro© bracelet.

Delivered on a Velcro© strap adapted to spacesuits, they offer an excellent value for money for early adopters who cannot afford a real Speedmaster.

The MoonSwatch is available in exclusive pop colours.

Slightly provocative, this partnership is a nice nod to the sometimes rather traditional watchmaking world. I’ve already chosen the colour of mine! What about you?
