The OMEGA family has joined forces with the Swatch family to add a more innovative and more entertaining interpretation to the Speedmaster chronograph model, which is known and admired all over the world. The luxury of the OMEGA brand was combined with the more casual atmosphere of Swatch, resulting in these unique ultra-quality watches. This extraordinary partnership, which is a first for OMEGA and Swatch, is considered extremely important in terms of drawing a new roadmap and breathing new life into the Swiss watch industry, which is going through difficult times, as well as in the fields of design and innovation. These new watches, called MoonSwatch, are inspired by the Speedmaster Moonwatch models, designed in a style similar to the watches worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts during Omega’s first moon landing mission.
The 11 models in the collection of these two giant watch brands are named after the big star in the center of the solar system and the small stars around it. This new combination of forces, which is considered a space-to-earth landing, has drawn worldwide attention. These eleven BIOCERAMIC watches, which will enable you to reach the planet you want, are the joint products of a brand new power. The replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch has thrilled collectors and resonated around the world. It has been put on sale all over the world at the same time as of March 26, 2022. It is also highly appreciated in our country, and watch lovers gathered in Istanbul have queued up to have this legendary model.
As we said, each of the 11 watches in the collection is named after the celestial bodies in our solar system. Reflecting the planet or sun associated with its less common colors, each watch’s battery cover contains a depiction of its planet. This new collection in rare colors adds a touch of fun and excitement to OMEGA’s professional watch. Each MoonSwatch features its own mission statement, inspiring engravings and shared OMEGA X SWATCH logos on the dial and crown. In addition, it offers a sporty and comfortable use with the straps that Omega describes as ready-to-use Velcro straps with the spacesuit. This gives them a distinct air as accessories intended for use by astronauts.
Mr. Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA, has these words of pride for this giant partnership. “Omega’s long and distinguished history would have been cut short without the vision and courage that Swatch has received. The MoonSwatch collection salutes our industry’s saviors in a witty and accessible way. The Swatches are perfect for budding Moonwatch fans and I can’t think of a more appropriate icon for our collaborative project. We went to the moon, now we are exploring the entire Milky Way. Great watches with great colors and they make me smile.” From these words, it is understood that this partnership is built on a solid foundation.
The case shape, design features and functions of the new Swatch pay homage to OMEGA’s iconic Speedmaster Moonwatch pro. Omega Swatch Moonwatch will be the meeting point for those who want to take a trip back to where it all started. Of all the swatches extracted, two-thirds are ceramic and the remaining one-third is a unique material called BIOCERAMIC, a unique blend of substance derived from castor oil. While colors such as pink and pale blue are strong proofs that these are not the standard Speedmasters, a devoted Moonwatch fan will try hard to find the difference in the overall look and will surely find traces of himself on this unique journey back. Moonwatch design features include the asymmetric case, the famous tachymeter scale with over ninety dots, and the distinctive Speedmaster sub-dials, all of which work perfectly.
All dials feature the OMEGA x SWATCH brand, the iconic Speedmaster logo and the new MoonSwatch logo. A closer look at the windshield reveals the “hidden” ‘S’ logo integrated into the center of the windshield. The circular pattern on the outer ring and sub-dials of the dial brings an elegant touch to the design, giving it a sharp and smooth horn structure. Hours, minutes, chronograph seconds hands and hour markers with Super-LumiNOVA phosphor filling offer sufficient legibility in almost any environment. BIOCERAMIC cases with a diameter of 42mm are waterproof up to 3 bar – 30 meters. ETA-manufactured Quartz caliber is under these perfect dials equipped with striking colors.
