Description
The Mission to Mars edition of the MoonSwatch collection channels the Red Planet’s rust-toned surface into one of the collection’s most eye-catching colorways, pairing Omega’s Speedmaster design language with Swatch’s accessible manufacturing. The 42mm case is molded from Bioceramic, a proprietary composite of two-thirds ceramic and one-third recycled PET plastic, resulting in a piece that feels remarkably light on the wrist without sacrificing the scratch-resistant durability associated with ceramic cases. A warm terracotta-red dial sits beneath a matching tachymeter bezel, with the familiar stepped-dial layout, applied indices, and small-seconds subdial that echo the original Moonwatch’s cockpit-inspired design. The caseback is engraved with mission-specific text and a printed depiction of Mars’s cratered, rust-colored terrain, visible through the exhibition window alongside the Swatch-manufactured quartz chronograph movement. That movement offers a dependable 60-minute chronograph function via two pushers flanking the crown, together with a small 24-hour subdial for added everyday function. A rust-red VELCRO-brand hook-and-loop strap completes the design, fastened with a matching keeper loop for a comfortable, easily adjustable fit. This particular example is entirely unworn and comes complete with its original packaging, mission booklet, and all accessories as issued from the factory. Bold and instantly recognizable, the Mission to Mars remains a favorite among collectors building out the full planetary lineup of this record-breaking collaboration.
