Swatch X Omega Moonswatch 60th Anniversary 1965

Swatch X Omega Moonswatch 60th Anniversary 1965 – A Timepiece Tribute

When a Swiss watch icon like Omega meets a Swiss quartz pioneer such as Swatch, the result is a fusion of heritage and modernity. The Swatch X Omega Moonswatch 60th Anniversary 1965 is a limited‑edition homage to the original Moonswatch released in 1965, celebrating six decades of lunar timekeeping and the enduring partnership between two legendary brands.

From 1965 to 2025: The Moonswatch Legacy

Omega first introduced the Moonswatch in 1965, a quartz watch that featured a striking moon phase complication. It was a breakthrough in accuracy and design, capturing the spirit of the Space Race and the excitement of the first lunar landing. Over the years, the Moonswatch evolved through various iterations—each retaining the iconic circular dial, the luminous markers, and the subtle moon phase indicator.

In 2025, Swatch and Omega collaborated to celebrate the 60th anniversary of that original release. The new edition pays homage to the 1965 model while incorporating Swatch’s colorful, playful aesthetic and Omega’s precision engineering.

Design Highlights of the 60th Anniversary Edition

Case & Materials

The watch sports a 42 mm stainless steel case, a nod to the original’s robust build. A crystal-clear sapphire glass protects the dial, while the bezel is engraved with the “1965” date and a subtle lunar motif.

Dial and Moon Phase Display

Emulating the classic Moonswatch, the dial is a deep navy blue with a luminous 12‑hour hand, hour markers, and a small moon phase window at the 6 o’clock position. The moon phase indicator moves in 24‑hour increments, offering a subtle reminder of the lunar cycle.

Movement

Under the hood, a Swiss‑made quartz movement powers the watch. It’s calibrated to deliver the same 60‑hour power reserve that Omega’s original Moonswatch boasted, ensuring reliability for daily wear.

Strap Options

Swatch Colorful Band – A vibrant rubber strap that showcases Swatch’s signature color palette.
Omega Leather Band – A classic black leather option for those who prefer a more traditional look.

Packaging and Extras

The watch arrives in a commemorative box featuring a detailed timeline of the Moonswatch’s history. Inside, a small booklet explains the collaboration’s inspiration and the technical details of the movement.
