OMEGA X Swatch celebrates the iconic Speedmaster Moonwatch, the first watch ever worn on the Moon. The Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection results from an unexpected, provocative, and visionary partnership — a first between Swatch and OMEGA.
Inspired by space, each of the eleven models is named after a planetary body in our solar system, from the giant star at the centre to the dwarf planet at its periphery. However, the fusion of the innovative Bioceramic material with the key OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch design elements launches this collection into orbit.
It is a down-to-earth take on the watch that went to the Moon and a perfect representation of Swatch’s joy of life and innovation philosophy.
I was lucky enough to get the 'Mission To The Moon' watch (right) for my birthday.
This is a steel grey watch. The hands and tachymeter scales are white, just like in the original Moonwatch. The bezel is black. All dials in the collection carry the OMEGA X Swatch branding, the iconic Speedmaster logo, and the MoonSwatch logo.
The bio-sourced glass construction, the etched "S" integrated into the centre of the glass, the fine and sophisticated circular pattern on the dial outer ring and the recessed subdials, the angular and smooth lugs construction, the iconic “dot over 90” detail on the tachymeter scale, and of course the unique Bioceramic feel are common to all models.
The hour, minute, chronograph, seconds, hands, and hour markers sport Super-LumiNova® for a perfect glow in the dark.
Fancy one? The watches come in many colours as the collection covers every planet from the Sun to Pluto. Click HERE to be taken to the Swatch page.
