Swatch and OMEGA: The MoonSwatch gets a makeover (2024)

You thought you had seen it all with the MoonSwatch? Think again! Swatch and OMEGA are back with a new watchmaking gem that will get people talking. This time, they are giving us a real treat with the "Mission to the Super Blue Moonphase". And believe me, it's worth the detour!

No more Snoopy and Woodstock frolicking on the dial of previous versions. This time, our two Swiss friends have decided to play the serious card... well, almost! They have opted for multi-hued moons in UV ink. It's chic, it's classy, ​​and it looks great.

The case? Blue Bioceramic, of course! Matching crown and pushers, just to be in keeping. And what about that VELCRO® strap? It feels like you're about to go on a space mission! The silver dial plays on contrasts with dark and light blue details. A real treat for the eyes.

On the technical side, we remain faithful to the winning formula: quartz movement, chronograph and moon phase. Classic, but proven.

So, are you ready to crack? You'll have to be quick and have a well-stocked wallet. This little marvel will be available from August 1st to 19th in certain Swatch boutiques, for the modest sum of 310 dollars. Not cheap, but after all, it's the price to pay to have a super blue moon on your wrist!

My opinion? It's daring, it's fun, and it's a change from the classic watches we see everywhere. Swatch and OMEGA have struck hard again. It remains to be seen if the fans will be there.
