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
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.
It would if you could drive it.
@@AvroBellow 😂😂
It makes it more popular and desirable to younger generations. Rolex doesn't need that, Omega does.
Mainly, people who bought these watches are likely to buy the original ones someday in the future once they can afford it. And omega knows that
@@AvroBellow SPOT ON this is only how ppl that can't afford one talk, this is legit a big blow for the Speedmaster plastic shit quarts watch
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 makes me want a real one even more which is a bit odd ?? Even odder the fact I was never in the market for a speedy! Ps big Omega fan 👍
It's just getting the cool design to more people. I like the design of the dial of the Speedy, but not for 6000$.
I fully agree with every single word in your comment.
@@deansusec8745 have a look at Bulova Lunar Pilot. I think you’d like that one
But what about the people buying the Plasticmaster just so they can say 'i wear an omega' ?
If they really were into the art of horology, there are way better watches at the price point.
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.
In my opinion they should take the Omega symbol off off of the moon swatches theyare swatch brand not Omega Brand,same parent company but different brands
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.
Agreed!
@@ChisholmHunterOfficial Does the watch feel rather cheap with the bioceramic plastic? Because i've seen videos talking about the built quality of it is bad. Is your watch still working fine? Does your watch have any scratches?
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
Same here!
I've got my Dan Henry 1970 orange diver (44mm) on the wrist today. I've had it 3 years, and it's still going strong. I hope to pick up a MoonSwatch at some point, though I am not going to go far out of my way to get one. I will likely swing by my local Swatch boutique tomorrow to see if they've gotten additional shipments/see if they have any tips. They're one of the 12 U.S. locations to get MoonSwatches. I also want to pick up a Clearly New Gent for the nostalgia factor, as I had an original Jellyfish as a kid.
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.
Except this isn't an Omega, it's a Swatch that cynically has the Omega label. They expected the wannabe-snobs to go nuts for the branding. They were unfortunately correct.
@@AvroBellow lol i stay in my lane i only buy Citizen
To all the snobs Swatch has owned Omega since 1999.😂
@@AvroBellow 1) the avro Vulcan is the superiorly sexy plane
2) omega has been owned by swatch since the 90s.
@@madedigital well, Seiko, Tissot are also acceptable and will last longer. Citizen is very reputable and lasts ages, Swatch rather not.
Came for the Moonswatch review.....stayed for the subscription! Great video, presented very engagingly.
Thank you Sir! Appreciate that.
Just got into watches a few weeks ago and am wearing my first automatic watch! Seiko 5 Sports on a silicone black strap
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.
Great review again 👏 I have an Omega Seamaster 300 in blue and enjoy (love) it, in fact sometimes just stare at it because it is amazing... I would really like to get a MoonSwatch for me but also to gift one to my son and share a passion
Great perspective as always. I got the MoonSwatch Mission to Mercury as a fun fabric-strapped Dark Side of the Moon-esque option when I want something a little different than the proper steel Speedmaster on bracelet.
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!
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
All I want to do is look at it and talk about it
The one thing wrong with my MOONSWATCH is my wrist !
I love it. It’s my second currently watch and becomes a daily/holiday watch and allows me to service my B&R BR126 and leave for more special occasions.
So currently on my wrist is a Saturn MoonSwatch on a brown NATO strap
Sporting the white dial omega same as yours. When do you think omega will bring out the next incarnation of 300m?
I missed out the solid dial colour with ceramic as it just wasn't different enough...looking at the new new ultra deep gives you an idea of what the next 300m might be like without helium valve.
It lowers the barrier to entry for watch collecting. The variety of color options allows something for everyone. Great release.
Sporting the Hamilton Khaki Field Day Date Auto today.
Notice how he avoided saying mission to Uranus😂😂😂
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.
you put so much dedication in your videos!!!
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 wasn't Omega's call. Swatch owns Omega, not the other way around. Even if Omega DIDN'T want to do it, they had no choice.
Instead of purchasing all if these crappy wannabee professionals, why not just use ALL that money and purchase a real Omega professional moonwatch? You can get a used one easily for about $4000 or a new one for about $6,400.
@@TheJdhisto I was telling people to just get a Bulova Lunar Pilot instead of this. The BLP is a real watch, the Swatch Fauxmegas are toys.
@@AvroBellow My comment was for @John Cunningham. : I
@@AvroBellow i took a look at Bulova and they are great value !
I'm wearing my Formex Essence 39 with the black dial and black rubber strap. I bought matching ones with my dad but he got the bigger size and the blue dial. We got it as it going away gift for college so that we can remember each other when we're States apart every time we look at our wrists.
PS: I personally love the green dial on the Formex Essence. That's the one I would have bought if I didn't already have a green Omega seamaster aquaterra.
Happen to be wearing my Swatch Irony Happy Joe today. Bought as something to wear when my (insert expensive watch name here) went back to Switzerland for a service back in the 2000's and still going strong with ocasional wear. Late to the party on the MoonSwatch but I fully intend to get one, or more, once they are back in the shops.
I haven't rules out getting one of these and I would go for the same version as you, the Mission to Mercury.
Today I have been wearing my SKX007 on the Uncle Seiko Razorwire bracelet 👍
Love the video! Where did you get the lamp?
Hoping to buy the Mission to Mars one day to complement my speedy, Seamaster and my vintage swatch I cherished as a teen in the 90’s 😎
Greay review i will definitely be picking oke of these up im thinking the Uranus version it looks like a great summer watch.
I to brought a speedmaster a few days ago (well received a few days ago) after a fair few years collecting I finally added my grail to my collection.
The omega speedmaster professional moon watch. As much as I like the sapphire sandwich because of the open, i had to go with the closed back hesalite versions as I wanted all the details on the back.
Wow man great review love the openness of your video. Great job man!
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!
I also have a silver bracelet GShock love it more than any watch..
I like Omega since several years but I am still struggling if I should go for one Omega Swatch. I am wearing as a "daily driver" watch a Omega Seamaster Professional 007 Quantum of Solace limited edition, my absolute favorite watch.
So how did you get one? Every time I go into a Swatch shop, they tell me there is no stock available, come back in May or June...
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!
Nice video! I've only stood in line for couple things in life, registering to vote, (the year it changed in the US) and Windows 2000 introduction event.
Consumerism at its best, like comedy it's all about the timing, this watch is a great joke!
I own a Leica M Swatch limited production from 2000 if memory serves me, the plastic band yellowed and cracked, it's plastic crystal scratched and I don't ever remember mishandling, that was the end of any Swatch purchased for me. I'd like to see review after a year of daily use. Enjoy!
Great review, I can't wait to get one of these. On my wrist is a Wenger Attitude Heritage Sport field watch with a Bond NATO strap.
I own a baker's dozen of Omegas. Love them. That being said, I like the idea of this, I think it is brilliant marketing for the Swatch Group. Nobody has created a buzz this big in the watch community for a VERY long time. The band is crap velcro, the crystal is acrylic and fused to to the case, the case is a plasticy thing and it is quartz. This is a Swatch that LOOKS like a Speedmaster. It is inexpensive and meant to be. It is also a fun set of pieces and should be enjoyed for what they are.
These ARE NOT going to disturb the Omega Speedmaster market.
Friend just picked up 2 from Oxford street .They tend to put delivered watches for sale after 3pm rather than have queues in the morning .
These are fun watches meant to be worn and enjoyed. Do not pay over retail as once the hype dies down, so will the demand and there will be plenty of stock. So wait just a little while longer and then collect them all.
I live in Canada and want to know when I can order one or when they will be in stores
I'm not a big watch collector but I do have the full Swatch bathing ape collaboration complete and now that there's the Omega Swatch collaboration it turned me onto a mega which I knew nothing about so I'm the perfect example of what you're saying in this video and I think those Omega watches are really cool and now I'm interested in the real thing
I bought mission to the sun and mission to Mercury. I have a goal of getting all 11 but as of now I got my 2 faves. The sun is the only one with a Sunburst dial out of the collection. And the Mercury is in my opinion the “dressy” model out of the whole collection. Fun and serious is what I wanted. Tiffany blue Uranus is my next one and so on.
Does the watch feel rather cheap with the bioceramic plastic? Because i've seen videos talking about the built quality of it is bad. Is your watch still working fine? Does your watch have any scratches?
How happy are you with the watch and do you think with a metal strap this could pass for a dress watch worth the money?
I like your point about coming out of covid and this watch bringing people to break the social distancing crap! I have a SM and I can't wait to buy all the Moonswatch collection 😊
Can you change the strap out? Thinking if you put a fancier higher quality band it may look even closer to an Omega (from a distance)
I love my speedmaster, but I would love to get my hands on one of these when they will be available online.
Nice, how did you manage to get one? I understood its not really possible to get these.
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 😉🤣🤣🤣
Daily beater Swatch? Who wants a coloured wrist everybody single day? Beside that, the crystal scratches just by looking at it and it is nearly impossible to get rid of these scratches by polishing. I tell you that by experience! If you need a daily beater watch buy anything else and save money!
@@hugin70 My Speedmaster has a hesalite crystal, it also scratches. So what?
@@mexxxxximum So does that of mine. The good thing: my Speedy‘s Heslite does not resist polishing. But hey, Moonswatch is not a Speedy, it is a 250$ Swatch made of plastic with Omega-Logo printed on its dial, so it has not to last and keeping its color forever! All good! No one is keeping you from being proud about your Moonswatch!👍
Lots of people apparently. They are going for a grand a pop.
@@DanaTheInsane Well, there are people out there who light their cigars with a 100$ banknote… at least in movies😜. So spending 1.000$ on a Moonswatch is still the better way to whaste money… at least in reality… for some… . Keep the donkey…🤔...money circling!😬
Citizens eco-drive aviator on my wrist today. I’m thinking I might have to venture into obtaining one of these. That mission to Neptune is right up my alley!
I have been wearing a used, titanium, mineral glass, 35mm diameter, 200m WR, non-screw-down crown, field watch black dialed, discontinued kanji day-date Alba quartz. 3 second fast since having it for the past 5 months.
Do you think the interest of this collab watch has died down? Especially Swatch is not selling it online?
Right now, I have Poljot 3133 chronograph. A watch that, incidently, was also in space, since soviet and czechoslovakian astronauts wore them. It is a lovely mechanical chronograph with same kind of history and I bought it, including servicing, for a 100 Euros cheaper than Moonswatch. So yeah, I think Moonswatch was a good step forward for industry, but I am already set up with a space watch.
Wearing a Longines Hydroconquest 41 (blue) today. I hope MoonSwatch will be available in my country in the future after hype is gone. It could be a funny watch for the summer (yellow or blue/tiffany)
Wearing the Tissot Prx with the green dial today. Great review 👏 👌 👍
I hope they don’t just limit this collaboration to the Moonwatch, this could be just the start of something of bigger future collabs. They could venture to expanding the concept to the Seamaster Omega x Swatch collab too: there are 31 varieties of the Sea theme for them to think about (e.g., Atlantic, Mediterranean, Red, Baltic, Arabian, South China, Celebes, etc). Another one is Railmaster collab series: the likes of Amtrak, British, Eurostar, Trenitalia, Oriental Express, SBB, etc). Better yet, the Constellation collab series would do great with so many possible variants.
They would probably wenture off with planet oceans if they did that, since the amount of oceans is more budget friendly to both companies in terms of development. But making a diver would require the discardment of the plastic (well, bio-ceramic) materials, which would ultimately up the price, making it closer to an Omega than a swatch, which at that point, would make the collab unnecessary since omega could always just release a line of limited edition seamasters itself, without the need of a collab.
Lol you were right hope they do a swatch x ap cuz it’s also owned by the swatch group
@@Belia1 AP is still an independent company and may or may not collaborate with Swatch. We’ll see in time.
Well, you predicted correctly as they're doing a collaboration with Blancpain.
@@P47RICKOG Those oceans ideas were great in the Swatch X Blancpain instead! Indeed it was budget friendly in having approach of using oceans theme for the diver watches
Wearing a two tone Tudor Prince Date today. Love it’s compact curvy case.
That’s a nice watch
I have an omega
Constellation
DOUBLE EAGLE
CO‑AXIAL CHRONOGRAPH what do you think about this watch
I also went for the same one. This watch is actually really great. You cant beat it around like a Gshock, but it is infinitely more handsome than any gshock. Love it.
Great, the best really, review of this watch. Y? Cause you presented all my mixed thoughts in a great and compelling manor. It's why we read and watch RUclips. Thanks
Thank you!
There seems to be a quality control issue where the case that consists of a bioceramic castor oil material, rubs off on the wrist after wearing. If they can work out that issue, I’ll definitely pick one up 👍
You know you can’t just “pick one up” like that tho, right?
hey there....on my wrist I am wearing an Earnshaw Longitude dual time automatic ES- 8006-06 Just wanted to try something new, I really liked its design, let me know what you think about it?
Is there a way to buy them ? I checked the website and they all sold out.
Great video 👍🏽 love the moonswatch and your choice of colour. I’ve recently bought the Speedmaster and I still appreciate this release… anything that reinvigorates the industry and gives more people access to a great watch can’t be anything other than good news. Any idea when these will be available online?
They have now said they wont be selling them online. So unless you live close to one of the Swatch stores that sells them youre out of luck or paying a scalper. since they cant keep them in stock in any resonable number its not worth traveling any real distance to try and get one as the store will most likely not have them in stock when you make the trip.Swatch group took what was a great move and has now created bad will and backlash. I think this is actually backfiring on them since they went back on their word about online availability
Today I've got two watches on my wrist, the first one on the morning was a Mido All Dial Coliseum and the a daily Daniel Wellington.
Will be buying either the mission to the moon or the Mercury as you have once this watch becomes available again. I have owned an Omega Speedmaster and many other Omega watches and I think this Swatch Speedmaster looks great
That sounds good to me 🤞
Got a mission to Pluto on my wrist and it does look good. Also wears really well - the strap is getting better and better.. I do wish the hands on the sub dials were in a contrasting colour - quite hard to read. If the watches ever become widely available I’d like a moon and a Mars edition. Because they have great designs and an interesting tie to the original Omega models.
Which store
@@SachinJijo from a scalper
I was torn between the same seamaster and the Tudor black bay chrono for my first high end piece. Chose the Tudor and haven’t been upset about the choice yet! Did just buy a mission to the moon swatch tho to ease any buyers remorse and I’m not upset with it. Even tho I paid way more than what it’s worth, it’s a cool collectible and looks awesome.
It’s very rare I watch a full video. But you made it fun and engaging. 😊
Bought one last week yes it’s cheap and feels light but it looks so cool and still an omega branded face for £240 not £7000! Win win
Great vid! I've got the gold Tissot PRX quartz on, I absolutely love it!
Thanks! Great choice. Have you seen the new PRX in Green?
@@ChisholmHunterOfficial I was debating between getting the gold vs green, absolutely love both
On my wrist: Citizen Skyhawk eco drive (U600), found at a pawn shop on my birthday, paid for by my sister who just lost her battle with cancer. Lots of meaning.
Really enjoy your channel. This would be my color choice too. Wearing a blue dial Christopher Ward Sealander GMT this evening.
Good choice!
Definitely going to get one of these, probably mercury. Will definitely change the strap though. Great price for a daily wearer. Another fantastic video.
Good video, definitely want to get one.
Your audio is faint then blows up to ear splitting levels. Fix that.
How does omega fit in? Is it just the use of the name?
Seiko 5 snkl23 on my wrist today. Earlier a Bertucci field watch.
Mission to Mercury, then Jupiter, Mars then Pluto in that order. These are not limited editions, so I wait.
Nice, will try to get one, been thinking on a real speedmaster, but think i will test this one to see if ill like the feel and style of the watch. Otherwise, im a more diver-watch guy, but sadly been using an apple-watch for a while.
Alos like Mission to Mercery, and Moon. The others are to "loud"
I love the way it looks just got one
I agree with several comments. MoonSwatch is a fun watch, a smart marketing move and something that should not be taken too seriously or overanalyzed. For me they are great, beautiful and do the work. What I would improve is the strap (I like the design, but it is not very durable) and certainly would not pay over retail price, but other than that, they are fine and good for me.
that intro just inspired me to start a youtube channel. that was amazing
Thank you!
Swatch has always been masterful at the
‘It’s not limited, there’s a lot of demand’ ploy. I hear it’s junk. One knock and shit starts breaking off it.
So are they available again?
I've been using my Apple watch from high school til post college. My first watch I am gonna buy is the Omega Swatch Speedmaster. Easy intro to collecting watches as said... i'm excited but I think this collaboration was a great marketing move bc I rarely spend my money but this is defintely hitting the right audience.
Why do you want to collect watches may I ask?
In love with this intro 🤌
Great review! Your voice tone etc are exactly as the guy from Bark n Jack. Fast ...slow pause speak. I'm thinking VO work in film , says the producer .
I guess the larger second hand is normally at 12 oclock. It´s abit misleading that it ticks on all the clips..
Great Presentation and Analysis 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you liked it!
nice review, currently wearing my latest all time fave EDW (every day watch) Omega 300 Seamaster Bronze on a nato strap
Great choice!
I just googled this.. it says it’s £10,350 is that right? You were a 10k watch out everyday wow. I couldn’t do that
The thoughts on the QC for the blue case? Vostok Amphibian.
So is it worth it? Thinking of getting one
I think it's much better than smart watches where people can download the image of various fine watch faces and wear them like the real deal. This one may not be the thousands of dollars model but at least it's beautiful, a commemorative piece and Authentic Due to the Collaboration between the two Companies. A win win in my opinion.
Fair call and good points. More watch nerds. 🎉
I think it's great anything that gives an entry into aspirations of luxury is fantastic 😀
Crazy I saw a ton of them today at the store lol
Why no one ever mentions what material the display is made of ??
Is a 6.5 inch wrist considered small or big ????
Nice Video ! Just found, and then just subscribed; you are just great youtuber.
Concerning OxS, well.... ok; I am italian (living in Zurich, where many super luxury watches are at each corner).... Italy is not only good pasta and pizza and women :) , but also a particular opinion about "beauty". OxS, a good marketing operation generally speaking... definitely not "beauty", buuuuuut... for sure the possibility to bring the Omega name (which is very much bound to mechanical watches) to the mind, eyes and heart of many people. And this could, in turn, bring some of them to the world of real and high quality watches. Perhaps this was not the intention, but I hope this will be the result. I stay tuned, already love this channel. Take care !
A very very interesting model right here! Mission to Mars is the one I’ll try to get one day! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
i love move swatch group did wen there back in stock ill buy a few. i asked a very very old man once i asked him wat is the best watch brand since he was a master watch repair guy, he said go for OMEGA because there for everyone and anyone can afford one and build more under pressure than other brands like rolex.
Bought the moonswatch and love it except for the strap, probably will be looking out for nice compatible leather one.
finally a good honest-dynamic review on this watch. Well done! the other videos reviews sucks and so stupid! carry on mate!
Cheers!
