Let's unbox the Bioceramic MISSION TO THE MOON Swatch watch!
Omega x Swatch Collab: the Bioceramic Omega Speedmaster MoonSwatch
If you haven't heard of the famous Omega x Swatch collab, you need to check out our article where we introduce you to the collection and we show you the 11 different Bioceramic MoonSwatch watches.
In just a few words, for those who don't know, Omega and Swatch have released a collection of Bioceramic Swatch watches that resemble the iconic Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch model. The collection is inspired by the moon, the sun, and the planets in our galaxy. So each watch model has a color palette and a story about the respective planet, star, or, in our case, the moon.
Examples of Swatch x Omega watch models:
MISSION TO THE SUN (SO33J100) & MISSION TO MERCURY (SO33A100)
Omega x Swatch MISSION TO THE MOON MoonSwatch vs. Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch
The most sought-after Swatch watch from this collection is the MISSION TO THE MOON MoonSwatch, since it's the one that most resembles the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch that so many people love.
Below you can see a photo of the two watch models side by side:

While the Omega Speedmaster retails of a few thousand dollars, the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch is available for about $255. The MISSION TO THE MOON Swatch can only be purchased physically, in Swatch stores.
People have been queuing for days to get their hands on at least one of the Omega x Swatch bioceramic watch models, especially in the first few weeks after the collection was launched. But out of all of the 11 watch models, the MISSION TO THE MOON remains the most popular Swatch watch from the collab that everybody seems to want.
Swatch x Omega Mission to the Moon Watch Unboxing
We finally got our hands on the Mission to the Moon Swatch watch at the Swatch store in Thessaloniki, Greece. We've previously managed to get the Mission to Mars Swatch watch in Geneva, back when the hype for Moon Swatches was still huge. An unboxing of the Mission to Mars MoonSwatch is also live on our YouTube channel, if you want to check it out.
As you'll see in our video, the watch comes in a lovely box with a cute story about the moon and its particularities. After wearing the watch for a few weeks already, we're pretty pleased with the quality and design it offers for the price point. But we're planning to do a more in-depth review soon, once we get more wear out of it and put it to the test more thoroughly.
