Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch: the Bioceramic revolution of the watch collector

Step into the world of the Swatch x Omega Bioceramic MoonSwatch, the most disruptive collaboration in modern Swiss watchmaking history. Released in March 2022, this collection generated worldwide queues never before seen for a watch under €300, combining the legend of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch — the watch worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts — with Swatch's pop boldness and a brand-new Bioceramic case. MTHOR curates every reference of the MoonSwatch solar system: Mission to the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Sun, plus the special editions Mission to Earth, Earthphase Snoopy, Moonshine Gold and the anniversary drops 1965, Polar Lights, Lava, Desert and Pink Moon. Every piece is authenticated by our team of experts and shipped sealed worldwide.

The story of an icon: how Swatch and Omega merged two worlds

The story begins on March 26, 2022. Swatch and Omega — two sister brands of the Swatch Group founded by Nicolas Hayek — announce their first official collaboration: the Bioceramic MoonSwatch. The promise is radical: democratise the legendary Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the first watch worn on the Moon on July 21, 1969, making it accessible at €250 instead of €6,000. On launch day, hundreds of people camp outside Swatch boutiques in Tokyo, Milan, New York, Paris, Zurich. Servers crash. On eBay, resellers flip pieces for over €1,500. A seismic shift.

Eleven references are unveiled initially, each dedicated to a celestial body of the solar system: Mission to the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Sun and Mission to Earth. Annual variations follow: the Mission to the Moonphase in July 2023 with moon phase display, the Snoopy editions in 2024 celebrating the NASA Apollo mascot, the Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold in genuine 18-carat gold, and the quarterly drops Cold Moon, Sturgeon Moon, Hunters Moon, Beaver Moon, Corn Moon. In 2025, Swatch pushes the boundaries with the Polar Lights, Lava, Desert, 1965 (a tribute to the Speedmaster ST 105.003) and Pink Moon editions. Over 5 million pieces sold in 3 years: an absolute record in watchmaking history.

A unique technology: how does the Bioceramic case work?

The MoonSwatch's secret lies in its patented material, the Bioceramic. Invented by Swatch in 2020, this composite blends two-thirds high-quality ceramic with one-third bio-based plastic derived from castor oil. The result: a case that is tough as ceramic, light as plastic, and silky to the touch. Unlike the steel or titanium used on the original Speedmaster, Bioceramic doesn't scratch, doesn't tarnish and keeps its original colour for years.

Inside, the Swiss ETA quartz movement guarantees perfect accuracy and minimal maintenance — no manual winding like the legendary Speedmaster Calibre 321. Three clear benefits for the wearer: (1) exceptional comfort thanks to the featherweight 41 grams, (2) a 2 to 3-year battery life, (3) a 30-meter water resistance covering all urban scenarios. The velcro strap, identical to the one Buzz Aldrin wore in 1969, adds the final historical touch.

The standout models in the collection

The MoonSwatch collection at MTHOR covers the entire solar system and the limited editions. The Mission to the Moon SO33M100 remains the founding piece with its white dial and grey case, a direct homage to the original Speedmaster. The Mission to Mars SO33R100 seduces with its brick-red case and contrasting indices. The Mission to Venus SO33P100 goes for powder pink, the Mission to Mercury SO33A100 for metallic silver and the Mission to the Sun SO33J100 for vibrant yellow.

The most coveted pieces on the secondary market are the Snoopy editions from the Earthphase series: the Sturgeon Moon SO33N701L with gold Snoopy, the Hunters Moon SO33N703L, the Beaver Moon SO33N704L, the Corn Moon SO33N702L and the Cold Moon SO33W701L. The Mission to Moonphase Snoopy SO33W700 and the Super Blue Moonphase SO33N700 integrate moon phase display over 6 months. On the anniversary front, the 1965 SO33M106 pays tribute to the Speedmaster worn by Ed White during the first American spacewalk, the Polar Lights SO33L103 draws inspiration from the aurora borealis, the Lava SO33O100 evokes volcanoes, the Desert SO33T103 earthly deserts and the Pink Moon SO33P700 the April full moon. The nine planets are completed by the Mission to Saturn SO33T100, Mission to Jupiter SO33C100, Mission to Neptune SO33N100, Mission to Uranus SO33L100, Mission to Pluto SO33M101 and Mission To Earthphase SO33M700.

Why buy your MoonSwatch at MTHOR

MTHOR Shop specialises in the sale of authentic collectibles.

FAQ — Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch at MTHOR

How can I verify the authenticity of a MoonSwatch?

Every MoonSwatch sold on MTHOR has been authenticated by our team of experts before shipment. We control the original box and reference label (SO33xxx number), the Bioceramic case finishing, the exact 41 g weight, the crown quality and the hand signature. For the Moonshine Gold and Snoopy editions, we use UV lamps and microscopes to verify the micro-engravings. The piece is then sealed before shipment: if the seal is intact upon receipt, you have the guarantee no tampering took place. Full details here.

What size is the MoonSwatch case?

The MoonSwatch case measures 42 mm in diameter, 13.75 mm thick and 47 mm lug-to-lug. That's exactly the same size as the original Speedmaster Professional. The velcro strap fits wrists from 15 to 21 cm. For thin wrists, we recommend positioning the buckle on the 3rd or 4th notch; for wider wrists, the 1st or 2nd notch. No links to remove, no tools needed.

What box does my MoonSwatch ship with?

Every MoonSwatch ships in its original "rocket" packaging: the famous cylindrical recycled-cardboard box adorned with the visual of the relevant mission (planet, moon, sun), a Swatch user manual, the 24-month international warranty card and — for Moonshine Gold and Snoopy editions — an additional collector box stamped Omega.

What's the delivery time?

We ship worldwide, with signed-for home delivery in 2 to 8 days. You get real-time tracking via email and WhatsApp, no matter your destination.

Will I have to pay customs fees?

No, you won't pay any customs fees. MTHOR covers all customs duties and taxes, regardless of your destination worldwide. The price you see on the site is the final price you pay: no nasty surprises on delivery.

Can I return my MoonSwatch if it doesn't fit?

Yes. You have 14 days from receipt to return your watch, provided it's in original condition (never worn, intact packaging, seal not removed, protective film in place). Refunds are processed within 24 hours of receiving the return.
