The Must-Haves of the Omega x Swatch Collection

The Omega x Swatch collection is the result of a prestigious collaboration between two Swiss watchmaking giants. This partnership has merged expertise and innovation to create exceptional timepieces. Inspired by Omega's famous Speedmaster "Moonwatch," the first watch worn on the Moon, this collection blends Omega's iconic design with Swatch's revolutionary Bioceramic material. All the Swatch Omega straps we offer on our site are specifically designed for the Swatch x Omega collaboration. Each piece is named after a planet in the solar system, distinguished by its unique color and style.

Among the 11 models in this range, we present three flagship pieces of the collection, creations that will take you on a journey through space and time.

Mission to the Moon: The Elegance of Black and White

The Mission to the Moon model pays tribute to the original watch worn by lunar astronauts. It mirrors the design and dimensions of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, characterized by its asymmetric case, distinctive tachymeter scale, and iconic sub-dials. Its steel gray color evokes the lunar surface, while its black VELCRO® strap ensures optimal comfort.

This watch is aimed at enthusiasts of classic and refined pieces who value the historical charm and prestige associated with the Moonwatch.

Mission to Mars: Bold Red Tones for a Daring Watch

The Mission to Mars stands out as the boldest model, with its intense red color reminiscent of the planet Mars. It is recognizable by its white "Alaska Project" hands with red tips, offering a striking contrast, and its orange "Ultraman" second hand, in homage to the iconic 1960s Japanese series.

Perfect for lovers of original and characterful watches, this piece invites you to express your personality and sense of adventure.

Mission on Earth: The Harmony of Green for Nature Lovers

The Mission on Earth model is an ode to the beauty of our planet, with its blue dial symbolizing the sky and ocean, and its green Bioceramic strap representing earth and vegetation. The "Saturn rings" motif at 6 o'clock adds a touch of elegance and whimsy.

This watch is the ideal companion for those who appreciate elegant and eco-friendly pieces, seeking to honor nature and its resources.

Materials and Comfort: Make the Right Choice

Choosing the right strap for your Swatch watch is essential for both comfort and style. The materials vary greatly, each offering its own advantages and challenges. We will explore the specifics of rubber, leather, steel, and nylon straps to help you make the best decision.

Rubber Straps: Durability and Flexibility

Rubber straps excel in their resistance to water, heat, shocks, and scratches. Their flexibility allows them to fit perfectly to your wrist, making them ideal for sports or aquatic activities. Their maintenance is simple: a rinse with clear water followed by drying with a soft cloth is sufficient.

However, they are not without drawbacks. Some may find rubber allergenic, risking irritation and redness. Over time, they can fade or crack, especially if exposed to sunlight or chemicals. Their odor can also be unpleasant and difficult to eliminate, and their style may be considered less elegant for certain occasions.

Genuine Leather Straps: Luxury and Tradition

Genuine leather brings unparalleled elegance and comfort, resulting from the treatment and tanning of animal hides. Available in a variety of colors, textures, and finishes, they can complement any look, from the most classic to the most modern, and are perfect for formal events.

However, genuine leather requires special care to avoid warping, tearing, or cracking. It may also cause allergic reactions in some. Furthermore, the use of animal hides raises ethical and environmental concerns.

Stainless Steel and Nylon Straps: Modern and Practical

Stainless steel and nylon straps offer exceptional versatility and ease of use. Lightweight, strong, and durable, they withstand everyday elements well and are easy to adjust and clean thanks to their practical fastening systems.

However, they can be uncomfortable for some due to the cold or stiffness of the metal and nylon. They may also wear or deform over time. Their appearance may be perceived as less noble or personalized compared to other materials, limiting their versatility for certain occasions.

Personalizing and Maintaining Your MoonSwatch

The MoonSwatch strap is essential for personalizing and maintaining your Omega x Swatch watch, offering the possibility to vary looks according to your desires and occasions.
