Swatch and
Omega teamed up to create the Swatch x Omega Moonswatch, a unique take on the
Speedmaster Moonwatch, one of the most iconic watches ever created. Worn by
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin during the 1969 moon landing, the watch has been a
popular silhouette for decades. Released in March 2022, the collaboration
dubbed the Bioceramic Moonswatch Collection, features 11 different watches, all
modeled and inspired by different planets in our solar system, the sun, and
Earth's moon. Which mission will you choose?
Each Swatch
x Omega Moonswatch features quartz movement, are 3 bar water resistant, sport a
velcro strap, and share the characteristics of the subject matter. For example,
the Swatch x Omega Mission to Pluto is dedicated to the "Dwarf"
planet, featuring gray, white, and burgundy hues, inspired by the surface of
the Pluto. Others feature stunning details like the Swatch x Omega Mission to
Saturn, filled with brown and beige hues contrasted by vibrant white tones. The
Mission to Saturn Moonswatch also features Saturn's rings on the seconds dial,
contrasted by shades of brown and green.
The Swatch
x Omega Moonswatch collection was first made available at select retailers
across the world, selling out at every location. News outlets reported
overnight lines at some locations in New York as fans went the extra mile to
add the Moonswatch to the collection.
