You can now aim for the stars, while the planets sit on your wrists!
We’d only ever heard of space companies and their missions to the planets. But did you ever imagine a timepiece reaching for the planets? Swatch and Omega have done just that with their new Bioceramic Moonswatch collection. A unique take on the legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch.
A new series of eleven BIOCERAMIC timepieces named after planetary bodies has been inspired by outer space and will have you yearning for the stars. Furthermore, Carefully reimagining the assymetrical case and twisted lugs of the Speedmaster, this new collection is the same size as the Moonwatch (42mm). The BIOCERAMIC Moon-Swatch series brings the classic design with a fun twist to watch a plethora of global hobbyist.
The relationship between the plucky business that saved the Swiss Watchmaking sector and the legendary producer of the Speedmaster Moonwatch is commemorated with these humorous tributes to the planets. However, The marriage of the most advanced Swatch BIOCERAMIC material with crucial Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch design features is what propels this collection into orbit. Moreover, There's the asymmetrical casing, the tachymeter scale's signature 'dot over ninety,' and the unmistakable Speedmaster subdials.
The mission on the caseback of each BIOCERAMIC MOONSWATCH, along with the integrated wording reads "Reach For The Planets – Dream Big – Fly High – Explore The Universe."
On the reverse of each battery cover is an image of the planetary body that inspired the design.
