MoonSwatch Pluto: The Mission to Pluto in Cool Gray and Burgundy
Pluto lost its status as a full planet in 2006, yet it still got its own watch. The MoonSwatch Pluto turns the small, distant world into one of the most unusual color schemes of the Omega x Swatch collaboration: pale gray with deep burgundy instead of the black and white of a classic chronograph. Below, you will find how the colors work together, which Speedmaster details the watch keeps, what to look for in the strap and paperwork, and how the Pluto compares with its siblings.
Mission to Pluto Swatch: The Smallest World With the Boldest Accent
A dwarf planet at the edge of the solar system sounds like a modest theme, but the Mission to Pluto Swatch answers it with confidence. The case and dial stay light and cool, almost icy, so the burgundy elements look even richer by contrast. That mix gives the MoonSwatch Pluto a warmth that most gray watches lack.
It also makes the MoonSwatch Pluto harder to categorize. It is not a sporty black chronograph and not a bright statement piece either, which is exactly why it appeals to people who already own a classic tool watch. If you collect the line by planet, the Pluto is a model you can actually wear often, because it pairs with navy, brown and gray clothing alike.
MoonSwatch Mission to Pluto Color: Cool Gray Against Two Burgundies
Start with the dial of the MoonSwatch Pluto. Light gray covers the main surface, and the hands of the chronograph seconds and of the totalizers are black, which keeps them sharp against the pale background. The counters themselves are not black, as on many chronographs, but burgundy. The bezel background picks up the same color family in a second shade, so two burgundies frame the gray from inside and outside.
In person, the result reads calm from a distance and detailed up close. Under warm indoor light the burgundy deepens toward red wine, while daylight brings out the cooler gray. This two-tone play defines the Omega Swatch Mission to Pluto more than any other detail.
Swatch x Omega Bioceramic MoonSwatch Mission to Pluto: The Speedmaster Link
Look closely at the crystal and you will spot a barely visible ‘S’ in its center, the quiet signature of Swatch. On the dial, the Omega x Swatch branding sits with the Speedmaster logo and the MoonSwatch logo, and the outer ring and the counters carry a fine circular pattern. On the bezel, the tachymeter scale shows the ‘point over the ninety’, a detail Speedmaster collectors look for.
The lugs have the same angular, flowing form as on the original Omega chronograph, which you can compare with the Speedmaster references in our Omega selection. The difference lies in the material. The 42 mm case is made of Bioceramic, and in the pale gray of the MoonSwatch Pluto, its soft, matte texture is especially easy to see and feel. Written out in full, this model is the Swatch x Omega Bioceramic MoonSwatch Mission to Pluto.
Mission to Pluto Strap: VELCRO® and Second-Strap Ideas
The Pluto MoonSwatch ships on a VELCRO® strap, which you can close at any length and adjust within seconds. Its darker tone grounds the light case, so the watch does not look washed out on the wrist. The hook-and-loop closure also makes it easy to take on and off when you swap the Swatch Pluto watch with another piece during the week.
If you want a second MoonSwatch Pluto strap to change the look, let the burgundy guide you. Brown or oxblood leather picks up the counters, gray textile keeps the cool side in front, and black rubber turns the watch sportier. Keep the original strap with the box, because a complete set matters for any collector piece.
Omega Mission to Pluto Watch SO33M101: Box, Papers and Invoice
The reference of this model is SO33M101, and it is the quickest way to confirm that you are looking at a Mission to Pluto and not at another gray MoonSwatch. This MoonSwatch Pluto is listed as unworn, so the case and the strap show no traces of wear.
Its scope of delivery goes one step further than many MoonSwatch offers: in addition to the original box and papers, the original invoice is included. An invoice documents the first purchase, which makes the history of this Omega Mission to Pluto watch easier to follow if you ever pass it on. Together with the Certified Original badge, that paperwork gives you a clear picture of what you are buying.
Swatch Pluto Next to Mercury and Neptune
Within the MoonSwatch family, the Swatch Pluto sits between the purely monochrome models and the bold ones. The Mission to Mercury stays in deep gray with white hands and black counters, so it reads more technical. The Omega MoonSwatch Pluto keeps a similar light-to-dark logic but swaps black for burgundy, which makes it softer and a little more elegant.
If you want a cooler contrast, the Mission to Neptune is worth a look next to it. Two models whose colors complement each other make a better pair than two that repeat, and the burgundy of the MoonSwatch Pluto makes that easy. The case shape stays the same across the planetary models, so the choice really comes down to color.
