The Speedmaster was the obvious choice as it’s such a collectable. “And we certainly don’t want to overdo it. No doubt anticipating the popularity of these budget bio Moonwatches, Swatch is limiting buyers to two watches from the collection per customer.Īnd as for if we will see other Omega models, such as the Seamaster, follow suit in another Swatch collaboration, Aeschlimann is noncommittal. In the US, you can get the watches in King of Prussia, Dallas, Honolulu, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, New York, and San Francisco. Looking to get one this Saturday? In the UK, the MoonSwatch watches will be landing in the Carnaby Street, Oxford Circus, and Covent Garden stores in London, and also in Edinburgh. It’s a fun project and adds some light to an industry that can take itself too seriously.” The player's task is to bring the astronauts to a certain destination so that he can. An astronaut comes out of hyperspace sleep to be but is not as expected during the orbit of Jupiter's moon, but in the middle of nowhere. It’s important to keep it in perspective. What's Out There Out There is one in the depths of the universe located somewhere, merciless and hard survival adventure. Yes, there is a model in black and perhaps it could pass as the real thing in certain light, but it is in Bioceramic, which makes it unique, different. There is really no crossover in any true sense, apart from the look. “But there is a vast space between a genuine Speedmaster Moonwatch and this Swatch. Therefore, we did spend a lot of time and energy on the designs, and we wanted to ensure that the watches functioned well, with fully operating subdials, and all possible Speedmaster details,” Aeschlimann says.īut will the creation of an inexpensive Moonwatch, one which even comes in black, be damaging to the Omega version, or do the benefits of bringing a younger generation to the brand outweigh such concerns? “I’m aware there will be critics,” Aeschlimann says. “It was very time consuming, since we wanted to create a Swatch with Speedmaster DNA. The MoonSwatch will apparently be available online in the future, however.
Resellers have already popped up online asking huge sums. The collection consists of 11 Swatches named after planetary bodies and comes in a range of colors, including a black “ Mission to the Moon” iteration that references the Speedmaster Moonwatch, which has been available for more than 50 years and is almost identical to the ones worn during the Moon landings.Īnyone who has longed to sport a Speedmaster Moonwatch but thought twice about the outlay for an original Omega will likely favor the black version, but we like the yellow “ Mission to the Sun.” Although Omega says the collection is not limited in quantity, the pieces will likely leave store shelves as quickly as they arrive.
It goes on sale Saturday in Swatch stores only and will cost just $260 (£207). The MoonSwatch is the first collaboration between the two brands (both part of the Swatch Group, which also holds Longines, Tissot, and Hamilton). Omega and Swatch have announced a budget version of the iconic Speedster Moonwatch, an astronaut-inspired piece that usually retails for thousands of dollars.
