Swatch salutes one of the most iconic watches of the Swiss watch industry by introducing the 11-piece Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection

Published Mar 24, 2022 01:13 pm

The unexpected, provocative and visionary partnership, a first between Swatch and Omega, is the culmination of a trend of collaborations between luxury and street brands to create innovative new products that blend the best of both worlds.

The brands have drawn their design inspiration from space, to create a collection of eleven Swatch models named after planetary bodies, from the giant star at the centre of the solar system to the dwarf planet at its periphery.

Mission to the Sun: the star of the collection in bright sun-brushed gold

Mission to Mercury: a tribute to the fast-moving winged messenger in deep grey

Mission to Venus: celebrates the planet of love in powdery pink with oval subdials

All of the Swatch designs are in the brand’s patented Bioceramic, a unique mix of two-thirds ceramic and one-third material derived from castor oil. Although colors like pink and pale blue offer strong clues that these are not your standard Omega Speedmaster watches, a hard-core Moonwatch fan would be hard-pushed to find the difference in the overall look. The key Moonwatch design features are all there. The asymmetrical case, the famous tachymeter scale with dot over ninety and the distinctive Speedmaster subdials, which all work perfectly.

Mission on Earth: a celebration of our precious planet in blue and green

Mission to the Moon: follows the exact design and dimensions of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch

Mission to Mars: a timepiece in fiery red with “Alaska Project” watch hands

Omega’s Moonwatch is legendary and a must-have for collectors. Swatch’s witty Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection makes the iconic design accessible to fans everywhere. It’s a down to earth take on the watch that went to the moon, which is a perfect representation of Swatch’s joy of life and innovation philosophy.

The new collection comes in rarely seen colors. Each MoonSwatch feature its own mission statement, inspirational engravings and joint Omega X Swatch logos on the dial and crown. The battery cover on each watch features a depiction of its planet.

Mission to Jupiter: bronze-colored collectable with orange “Ultraman” seconds hand

Mission to Saturn: a watch in beautiful beige with Saturn’s rings at 6 o’clock

Mission to Uranus: pale blue tribute to the Greek god of the sky

A spacesuit-ready Velcro strap adds a final touch of astronaut chic.

For those wishing to “Reach for the Planets” a MoonSwatch is a great way to lighten up for the journey.

Mission to Neptune: celebrating the ice giant in a freezing deep blue

Mission to Pluto: dedicated to the “dwarf” planet in grey and burgundy
