Patrick_y's exploration of the Omega MoonSwatch on various NATO straps highlights a fascinating aspect of watch personalization and brand perception. His post, featuring insights from YouTuber Chris, demonstrates how a simple strap change can dramatically alter the aesthetic of the MoonSwatch, making it appear remarkably similar to its luxury counterpart, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. This article delves into the community's reactions to this phenomenon, examining the marketing genius and potential brand implications of the MoonSwatch collaboration.

The MoonSwatch on a Nato strap looks like a real Omega!  I had to do a double take.  If it can nearly fool me, I bet it can fool a lot of people! 

All of these strap ideas came from YouTuber Chris, who has a YouTube Channel called "Clicky Bezel."  I don't know Chris, but I welcome him to our forum and would like to say he has excellent taste when it comes to strap choices!  All the photos below are screenshots from Chris' YouTube page.  Feel free to reach out Chris!

Here's the video Chris made on YouTube.  He explains his choices and how to actually change the strap on his YouTube channel. 





This totally looks like a normal Omega Professional Moonwatch with this strap to me.  Pretty darn convincing!  A great strap choice!  And an overall cool outfit.  I've got a denim shirt too!  And a wrist!  All I need is the watch and the strap! 



Chris has fairly good taste, he has four different colored MoonSwatch-es to play with and he has got great strap options for all four! 



Nice red notebook to go with this.  Great setting for a photograph!  A red NATO strap with horizontal line weave. 



This watch looks so much better than the original!  A tan Nato with a small weave.  Reminds me of my tan Cucinelli sweater in a way. 



This is such a clever and original idea!  A blue rubber vintage tropic strap! 


Chris definitely has a great aesthetic and has transformed his Omega MoonSwatch(es) and personalized them! 

What are your thoughts?  Does this make you like the MoonSwatch more?  I definitely like them personalized!

Isn't it limited at 1 per person? Or maybe being a youtuber can help you out...just wondering....

Or maybe he bought his friend's watches... Who knows. Doubtful that he got support from Omega nor Swatch. Since he's such a new YouTuber without a significant subscriber base. And it's limited to two pieces per person.

But that's just the moon-toy, I've bought a sapphire sandwich Moon last week (hopefully delivered next week) and before getting the watch, I've received a curved-end rubber strap. I've tried (the Moon) several times during my watchaholic dinners and ?ive pulled the trigger; I've been looking for a manual chrono, the truth was just under my eyes for the past 15 years but I was too blind to see it for what it is, an extremely nice sporty watch that can turn into something elegant or crazy, accordi

I especially like, as I've said before, the Jupiter version, and that beige NATO looks top-notch on it. I will likely end up getting a slightly subtler shade of grey NATO when I get mine. Any word yet on the official date for online sales?? Cheers, Filip

The website does have an add to cart button, but it's grayed out for now. So it seems it's not activated yet. But it implies it might be available online in the future!
