Mission to mars omega swatch

Everyone has a story of "the one that got away. For me, it's the Omega Speedmaster Alaska Project.

With all that being said, I did manage to get my hands on a MoonSwatch. The Mission to Mars is one of my favorite MoonSwatches. Only the Mission to the Moon and the Mission to Neptune which sells at an insane 5x premium would be above it on my list. Being a New Yorker, and having access to 3 Swatch stores in close proximity to my office and apartment, you might expect me to have gotten lucky and been able to walk out of the store with a shiny new MoonSwatch on my wrist. Well I tried. I tried prodding the sales associate for more information about when restocking normally happened but was told it was all random.

The Omega X Swatch Speemaster MoonSwatch has been out for a few months and these timepieces are still as hard to find at Swatch Stores as they were at launch and still not available online. Watch enthusiasts are still all-in on the unprecedented collaboration between two Swatch Group stalwarts, the luxury brand Omega and the more affordable Swatch. Read through why we prefer certain models over others and let us know if you agree. I might get some flack for not putting the Mission to the Moon first on our MoonSwatch rankings but hear me out. The Mission to Neptune, however, comes in a light blue bioceramic material case which is a proprietary mixture of plastic and ceramic , which is contrasted by the dark blue dial and bezel. The dark blue mixed with the white hands and indices gives the watch a unique, yet not overwhelming, look. Not to mention the market seems to agree. That is 4 to 5 times the premium price of many of the other MoonSwatch models and almost 8 times the retail price.

Omega and Swatch and took the watch world by storm in by releasing a collaboration. It came as a total surprise and quickly became one of the most globally talked about products. When I first saw the teaser images, leaks and then the release, I could not have been more excited! It is one of the coolest ideas I have seen in recent years. I was on holiday at the time and fortunate enough to be near a store for release day. However, I did not manage to purchase one at launch like many other disappointed enthusiasts.

Having lume on the chronograph hands is a fun touch that is not present on other versions of the Moonswatch. It is small details like these that really make an enthusiast appreciate the MoonSwatch. The crystal is Hesalite and not sapphire so is prone to scratching. Additionally, despite using typically bright Super-LumiNova, the applications seem to be quite thin. They are becoming more and more available, and prices are coming down. Rather than being at 3 and 9, the subdials are shifted toward the top of the dial. Back to blog. The Moonswatch really does do a good job of mimicking the Speedmaster. The lume is not as bright as other watches that I own, but it's still legible once your eyes adjust to the darkness. All Moonswatch Mission versions have a clever graphic depicting their corresponding celestial body applied to the battery cover. So I finally gave in. Luckily, Perpetual Straps offers a more affordable option. Cart 0.

Its case is even bright red, mimicking the Alaska's protective case. On paper, even that price isn't a great value. Its inspiration clearly came from the Alaska Project, and it contained all of the great traits that made the Alaska special: spacecraft hands, crisp white dial, and white velcro strap.

Back to blog. Rather than brushing and polishing like a Speedmaster, the Moonswatch's bioceramic case features a matte finish all around, but it does have sharp edges like a real Speedy. Despite its low cost, it still took me about 9 months from its release date to obtain a Mars. There it sat, new in box, on display behind glass all by itself with all of the fabulous accessories. The strap is lightweight and comfortable but feels and looks cheap.
