The Swatch X Omega Moonswatch "Mission on Earth Lava" is part of a spectacular collaboration between Swatch and Omega that reinterprets the iconic Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch in a new, more accessible form. Often referred to as "Mission on Earth Lava", this special edition is distinguished by its unique design elements and materials that capture the spirit of both brands.
Design and aesthetics:
-
Dial: The dial of the Mission on Earth Lava is a striking red that is reminiscent of glowing lava. This design element reflects the name of the watch and gives it a lively and dynamic look. The dial features the typical features of the Omega Speedmaster, including the three subdials for the chronograph functions and a tachymeter scale, which in this case is placed on the outer edge of the dial.
-
Case: The case is made of bioceramic, an innovative material developed by Swatch. It is light, robust and hypoallergenic, which makes the watch particularly comfortable to wear. The choice of bioceramic underlines the eco-friendly commitment of both brands and fits in with the earth-loving theme of the "Mission on Earth Lava".
Technical features:
-
Movement: The watch is powered by a quartz movement, making it more affordable compared to the mechanical movements found in the traditional Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. This allows for wider accessibility without compromising on quality and reliability.
-
Water Resistance: The water resistance of this Moonswatch is typically limited, which is sufficient for everyday activities but is not recommended for intense water sports or diving.
Bracelet:
- The strap also comes in a vibrant shade of red to match the theme of the watch. It is made from a soft and comfortable material that is suitable for everyday use and can easily be adjusted to fit different wrist sizes.
A fascinating example of how two watch brands can work together to create something truly unique, the Swatch X Omega Moonswatch “Mission on Earth Lava” offers an affordable approach to the world of luxury watches with a playful and environmentally conscious approach.
