I BOUGHT The OMEGA X SWATCH Speedmaster MoonSwatch

I finally bought the OMEGA X SWATCH Speedmaster MoonSwatch Mission to Mercury! I think this is an incredible collaboration between these two watch brands and is having a fantastic impact on the watch industry... What do you think?

I’ve been an Omega fan for years now. I have several vintage pieces and of course also the “real” Speedy.
This MoonSwatch is not supposed to be luxury. As far as I can tell, the only people getting bitter with it are the people that buy a watch as a status symbol and not for the passion of collecting time pieces. It’s a genius marketing move. Giving young horology enthusiasts a starting point. This inevitably will put Omega in peoples minds who maybe never even considered this brand for a luxury time piece.
Omega flipped Rolex the biggest of birds with this. I love Rolex as well, but their scarcity game is very off putting and frustrating.
This one will definitely become part of my collection once it’s available online.

It's a toy plastic speedmaster and a genius marketing move by the Swatch group. Some people are claiming it reduces the speedmaster brand but I don't think that a toy plastic Porsche lessens the 911.

Spot on. This watch is a lighthearted take on the speedy and should be taken as such. I own a speedy and would love to add this to my collection

I absolutely agree with you in every single word. In my opinion a smart marketing move that doesn‘t make the Omegas Speedmaster less adorable. But a move that fascinates a broader crowd for the watch game.

What i love is omegas said f**k you to the snobs and actually experimented, unlike Rolex. This was an amazing move because it's got so many people into the wallet breaking hobby aswell as promoting the real speedy. It's allowed new people, young and old to join in, it's led to discussions and made people connect and have a chat. I'm definitely getting myself a mercury when my birthday comes around!

Also on my wrist right now is a Longines Flagship Heritage with the cream dial.

Nice review. I like how the MoonSwatch is getting people talking about watches, similar to when Swatch watches first became popular in the 80s. Back then in my experience, Swatch quickly helped build a friendly sub-culture and the watches acted as conversation starters, "Cool Swatch. What is that one?"
Yeah, the MoonSwatch is not an heirloom quality Omega, but it is a decent, affordable watch that looks cool. ...like a Swatch should.

[TheTranceGamer]

Absolute genius! People think they're getting a cheap Omega - instead are getting an expensive Swatch.
This is going to be taught as a case study in business schools in the future

Just got into watches a few weeks ago and am wearing my first automatic watch! Seiko 5 Sports on a silicone black strap

Came for the Moonswatch for the subscription! Great video, presented very engagingly.

One year later and i got one too, also the mission to mercury. It's an adorable addition to any collection. Do not mistake it for its Omega sibling and you will have lots of fun with it

[lundsweden]

Pagani Design PD-1701, stainless steel case and bracelet, sapphire crystal, Seiko mecha-quartz movement. Best value speedmaster homage in existance IMO!

Today wearing my TAG Heure Aquaracer. The MoonSwatch is a ladder product, introduces people to Omega, and allows them an entry point to the Brand, while building an appreciation for it. I think the Mission to Pluto would be the one I purchase, but my second option would have been either Moon or Mercury.

First, I own a Speedmaster Pro. I would consider buying the Mars Swatch if it was available and I didnt have to wait in a line. That said I am not a huge fan of the moonswatch, but I have never owned a Swatch before so I guess this would be my one swatch. Great videos, keep up the great content!

[jackeldridge]

Notice how he avoided saying mission to Uranus😂😂😂

[azred]

A family member asked me what color I wear, yellow, and a few days later I received "Mission to the Sun" . I have always enjoined the Omega Speedmaster, having an Omega Speedmaster Anniversary addition, its relaxing to enjoy the lighter weight and yellow/ white clash of the Swatch design. Your video is solid 8/10. Thanks and cheers.

For the people who can’t really afford one this is a great alternative and they are badass looking. $200 - $400 range is still more than a Casio dive watch and many other affordable brands!

[h.l]

Got it spot on! As a Omega speedmaster owner this is great news for the watch industry, the only down side is the flippers hoping to gain profit from this? Who the hell in their right mind would buy these watches over retail! 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️ ... I dont mind just waiting for it to go online cant be bothered to queue up and buy the Pluto and maybe the Uranus 🤣
In the end these watches are cheap and cheerful, lighthearted wear as a daily beater, Swatch and Omega did the right thing 👍... now wonder if Rolex would collaborate with Timex 😉🤣🤣🤣

[johncunningham]

I think it was a really smart marketing move on Omega's part; "this will open up a wider margin to reach more potential customers", and!!! yes this will be a huge success and the opportunity to collect the complete set. My choice! The Mercury Mission.

This watch model will probably become a collector item. It is a nice looking legal replica of the Omega Speedmaster series. Being a quartz movement it will be a lot more accurate than any mechanical watch. Most decent quartz watches should keep to about +- 4 to 8 seconds per month when worn. I have thought of getting one of these new Swatch versions of the Moon watch. Most of the time I have been wearing G-Shock watches. With my activities I am afraid to damage a mechanical watch.

I have an original Omega Speedmaster Mark II with the 861a movement sapphire version. As for accuracy when worn it keeps about +2 to +4 seconds per day average. Some days it may slow to about -2 seconds over a day. I have some other Omega mechanical and automatic watches, and some other Swiss types. I get them maintained at an authorized Omega service place about every 4 to 5 years. They all keep excellent time according to their specs. I have been sort of thinking to get myself the new version of the anniversary Omega Speedmaster with the coaxial movement. For the price of the one I want I can buy a new car!

Wearing a two tone Tudor Prince Date today. Love it’s compact curvy case.
