Ping.Timeout's recent acquisition of an Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch, a thoughtful gift from his wife, sparks a timely discussion on its place within the luxury watch community. His initial impressions highlight its lightweight design and potential as a versatile travel companion, despite its quartz movement and perceived 'plasticy' feel. This post invites collectors to consider the MoonSwatch's unique appeal and its role in broadening horological conversations.

Nice surprise from my wife yesterday when she came back from ladies trip to Bangkok - a “Moonswatch”. Although it looks plasticy, it’s light. I suspect the velcro strap is heavier than the watch. Nevertheless, i like it. Now it’s time to find alternate straps to jazz up the look. Not sure if this belongs in the forum since it’s a quartz movement. 😀. What do you think?

My only complaint is the lack of water resistance. Otherwise it would make a perfect holiday companion, since most travel insurance only covers $1,500 per item at best.

It must be fun to play with it. Maybe a start for an interesting story. Would it become a drawer watch? Would a button fall off? Would the interest decline and a decennium later you remember you get a plastic Omegaswatch, and it would be now a hot collectors item, hotter than at this time? Would this watch brings you to a dazzling huge collection of real Omega Speedmasters? Do it become a safe queen instead of a dust catcher in a drawer? Or…it become your most worn daily watch?

It can be a “mannequin” in case the original moon watch ever arrives by surprise 😁

Although I'm probably not asking for one hard enough!
