Omega and Swatch are two very different watch brands, but they have one thing in common: both are part of the Swatch Group. So when Swatch had the opportunity to present their take on what an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch would look like with a Swatch budget, the result was both surprising and fascinating.
The Swatch x Omega collection initially consisted of 11 watches, each inspired by a planet in our solar system – as well as the sun and the moon, with 'Mission to Moonshine Gold' being the latest addition. Each watch carries the name "Mission to [planet name]" and has a unique design reflecting the colors and characteristics of that planet. It's a unique concept that has proven to work incredibly well.
The watches in the MoonSwatch collection are made from Swatch's patented Bioceramic material, a blend of ceramic and plastic that is both lightweight and durable. The movement is a battery-powered quartz from ETA, which is part of the Swatch Group.
It's worth noting that the Bioceramic material can feel a bit fragile, and the watch might not be the best choice for those wanting a rugged daily watch. But the price makes it an affordable alternative for those who want to wear a piece of Omega history on their wrist without being ready to spend a large amount on a classic Omega Moonwatch.
If you want to get your hands on a sold-out and exclusive Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch, you can find them at Sneakerzone, where all original accessories are included. Prices vary depending on the model and demand, and we naturally also offer price matching on our MoonSwatches.
The Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch collection is an exciting and unusual collaboration between two watch giants that has created a range of watches combining the best of both worlds. With a variety of colors and designs to choose from, there is something for every taste and style. If you're interested in owning a piece of watch history without paying Omega prices, the MoonSwatch collection is definitely worth considering.
