Mission to Mars - Red Speedmaster - Omega X Swatch

MoonSwatch Mission to Mars Review

I finally got my hands on the MoonSwatch and chose the Mission to Mars! My first choice would have been the classic Mission to Moon, but the captivating red of Mars drew me in.

Initial Impressions

  • Design: This watch is incredibly thin, which enhances its comfort. However, I found the stock white strap to be quite stiff and awkward. Switching to a NATO strap was a must for a better fit.
  • Value: At $260, it’s on the pricier side for a Swatch, but it feels worth it, especially considering the cool collaboration with Omega.

5-Day Review

After wearing it for a few days, here are my thoughts:

  • Fragility: I’ve found it to be a bit fragile for certain tasks. I need to be careful around water, such as when cooking or washing my hands.
  • Comfort: Overall, it’s light and comfortable on the wrist. It took a few days to adjust to the watch strap, but it eventually settled in nicely.
  • Aesthetics: The red and white colors really pop, giving it a nice wrist presence. It’s a fun watch to wear!

Conclusion

While it might not be the most practical watch for active use due to its sensitivity to water and potential impacts, the MoonSwatch Mission to Mars is a stylish and enjoyable piece. It’s the closest I’ve come to owning a real Speedmaster, and I’m hopeful that day will come!
