Swatch Moonswatch Mission to Jupiter - Specifications, Prices and Owners' Reviews

A nice surprise, without being one, that this Swatch Moonswatch received for Christmas. Being a happy owner of an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, I had this very attractive crossover on my radar and it immediately caught my attention when it was launched! In fact, it is a Swatch Quartz Chronograph at €250, or €50 more than the brand's other chronographs... it's quite expensive for a useless plastic object... This is where it becomes attractive to agree to be captured by a well-conducted operation that has allowed Swatch to seduce both passionate amateurs (call them what you want) and the general public who don't care about watchmaking but who find happiness in Swatch's magic recipe with its pop and tangy watches. The first target being microscopic compared to the second who for a modest price discovers that there are other things at Swatch than plastic watches... and that a watch has gone to the Moon! In 10 years, young people will come and testify on the Dialicious channel that their first emotion in watchmaking was a Moonswatch… and probably that the Omega brand “speaks” to them more than others! That’s the magic of watchmaking, seeing things that others don’t see. In this Moonswatch Jupiter, I see a thoughtful gift from my loved ones, the satisfaction of being a voluntary victim of the marketing of the two brands Swatch and Omega… It’s perfect if you understood that this Moonswatch is not a Moonwatch ;-)

I invite everyone to enter the magical world of the moonswatch. Of course the quality/price ratio is questionable but the proportions are preserved. I just blame the Jupiter for not having more readable hands. However it is a "must have" for any solar system and Omega enthusiast

After the Mercury and the Moon, I was tempted by this Jupiter. As a fan of watches with orange color (see my other reviews), I was inevitably seduced by these hands that go very well with the beige case. I changed the strap for an Erika Marine Nationale that suits it very well and makes it much more comfortable to wear than with the original strap.
