A Closer Look at the Omega Swatch Moon Swatch
Omega and Swatch are among the world’s largest luxury watchmakers. These two companies have collaborated to create a masterpiece Omega Swatch Moonswatch. The solar system inspires the theme of these 11 collections of watches.
The Omega Swatch Moonswatch collection represents Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch which is the first watch Apollo wore on his first mission to the moon. The newly invented collection serves as an affordable version of the luxurious watch in the market to help many people to own this iconic masterpiece.
The Omega and Swatch Collaboration
It is a collection of eleven watches, and each is named after the recognized planets in our solar system and the moon. The model they named after the Moon resembles the original design of the Speedmaster Moonwatch, and it has the original specifications like a tachymeter scale and white hands.
The other models in the collection are named in order of the planets; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. There is also a model named after the sun. Each model is specified as a mission to….’ The models are also differentiable using their unique colors.
Mission to the sun is golden, Mission to Neptune is blue, and Mission to Mars is fiery red. The watch’s battery is located at the rear part of the watch, and it is endowed with an image of the solar system that it represents.
Figuring it All Out
For example, if the watch is blue, it represents Neptune, and at the back of the watch, it will have an image of the planet Neptune. The case back edge is inscribed with writings such as Dream Big, Enjoy the Mission, Fly Higher, Reach for the Planets, and Explore the Universe.
The watches resemble the original version of the Speedmaster Moonwatch in all eleven models. According to Swatch, each watch measures 42mm on the case, and they all have a Velcro strap that emulates the color of the planet they represent.
A similar Velcro strap was used on Omega Speedmaster because this type of strap would fit on top of astronauts’ spacesuits when they traveled to space.
The Watches also have a signature called ‘dot over ninety,’ which details the tachymetric scale bezel with a unique Speedmaster subdial. However, there are visible differences when compared to the original model. The new models are manufactured from bio-sourced plastic and a blend of ceramic, while the original model is made from steel.
