Upgrade Your MoonSwatch for Just £38: New Omega x Swatch Rubber Straps
Before the MoonSwatch inevitably voyages beyond our solar system (Mission to GJ504B we anticipate reaching you circa 2029), Omega and Swatch are taking us around the planets once more. But this time, Houston, the objective is replenish the hype around the OG watches. The rocket fuel? Rubber.
The collaborating parties have used the material – aptly, a common component of NASA propellent – to create just as many straps as there was originally MoonSwatches. So, 11.
There's a colour that correlates with each. The textured surface on the top is designed to resemble an astronaut's suit; the underside is based on craters found on the lunar surface.
Suddenly, those pre-installed nylon straps are so last lightyear.
Of course, a MoonSwatch has always been compatible with rubber straps beyond the borders of the Swatchverse. But when it comes to horological devices – as I'm sure my fellow timekeepers will agree – there's nothing quite like a completely official, blue-ticked product.
Even if you do decide to have fun in swapping them around – re-aligning the planets to align with your astral essence. If you like, give the ever-retrograding Mercury a hot upgrade via the scorching Mission to Mars-inspired strap, or, perhaps, bring new meaning to the term 'Saturn's return' by pairing its neutrals with a new era-defining baby pink (Venus) or blue (Uranus).
The rubber Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch rubber straps are now available on the Swatch webstore, each available for £38
