I can’t see a thread for this, so thought I’d highlight this new release!

Swatch have got together with Omega (Essentially, themselves!) to create what looks to be a bio-ceramic (plastic-looking) quartz Speedmaster with Swatch/Omega branding. What do you think?

The watches come in a range of colours to match the various planets in our solar system, as well as the Sun and Moon. It’s believed that the pieces can be bought separately, but there is also the option of a collector’s case with all watches present.

I believe the watches are being released on 24th March at midnight, in preparation for purchases on the 26th March. No idea on prices, but people have suggested $220-260 per watch, or around £1600 for the full collection.

What do you guys think?

I might pop into London too, although not definite! hehe I'm quite tempted by either the Mars (those Alaska Project sub-dial hands!), Pluto (the colour scheme) or Uranus (for the jokes, but it looks like a great summer watch!).

Not as expensive - or as horrendous - as I was expecting! smile

These are very attractive, will be going down to London to pick up a Pluto if I get the chance. My fear is that the first load of stock in the stores will be emptied out in a day or two before I get down there.
More like an hour or two.
You're probably not wrong. Super desirable from the pics and I'm sure collectors will want the 'set'.
Limited to 2 pieces per customer, but yeah ... I imagine they will sell out quickly!

It appears as though www.swatch.com is down! I thought I'd have a look online to see if there was any availability. Swatch have confirmed multiple times that these watches are non-limited, non-numbered and will be available for purchase online. As such, don't pay over RRP from scalpers!

The leaking dye issue appears to be true; a fair few owners affected. I might wait to see how Swatch responds. Perhaps after the success of this collaboration, there might be a second collab further down the line. I joked elsewhere that it should be Swatch x Breguet hehe

I'm still keen to buy one though, as a holiday watch!
