The Swatch x Omega Mission to the Moon is the most sought-after release from the MoonSwatch collection, created as a playful yet faithful tribute to the legendary Speedmaster Professional. Designed in collaboration with Omega, this model echoes the look and feel of the iconic Moonwatch, capturing the spirit of lunar exploration at an accessible price point. Its Bioceramic case, 42mm in diameter, channels the proportions and silhouette of the original, making it a standout for both new buyers and seasoned collectors wanting a piece of Speedmaster heritage without the hefty investment.

The key reference is SO33M100, which distinguishes the Mission to the Moon from other planetary-themed MoonSwatch variants. Unlike the Mission to Mars or Jupiter editions, this model features the classic black dial, white hands, and tachymeter bezel, closely mirroring the Speedmaster’s historic aesthetic. The quartz movement ensures reliable accuracy and low maintenance, while 30m water resistance is sufficient for daily wear. Price variation typically hinges on condition and completeness (full set with box and papers), as well as early production batches, which some buyers value for their novelty.

When shopping for the Mission to the Moon, check for original packaging and undamaged Bioceramic surfaces, as the case material can show wear more quickly than steel. Early batches sold out rapidly and command a premium, while later releases are more widely available. This model’s close resemblance to the Omega Speedmaster makes it especially desirable, but also means it’s often the first to sell out at Swatch boutiques, so timing and patience are key for retail acquisition.

What owners love

  • The look closely mimics the legendary Speedmaster, giving owners the iconic "Moonwatch" aesthetic at a fraction of the price.
  • The lightweight Bioceramic case makes it extremely comfortable for all-day wear, much more so than traditional steel chronographs.
  • The playful, collaborative spirit of the MoonSwatch project brings a unique sense of fun and collectibility that's rare in this price range.

Common Criticisms

  • The acrylic crystal scratches very easily, leading to visible marks with even careful use.
  • The chronograph pushers and crown feel flimsy and can be stiff or inconsistent compared to typical mechanical chronographs.
  • The supplied Velcro strap is stiff, uncomfortable, and feels cheap, with many owners swapping it out immediately.
