Swatch Moonswatch Mission to Mars Owner Review : Conceptual, inventive and attractive

After the Tidal Wave of the first days, even the first months, the kilometers of queues in front of the "Swatch Stores" (there are still queues at the time of the publication of this review in front of them, which is crazy!), the sit-ins, the campings, the scuffles... I went to the Swatch Store in the Louvres one morning in August 2022. 2 people were waiting in front of the store... the security guard brought the list of models available that day... Surprise, the "Mars" was scribbled there. The first two people disappointed with the list revealed leave... so I am the first to enter the store. I can try the models available that day. I had already decided... I take the "Mars"! The watch is ultra comfortable. I change its white "NASA" strap for a gray strap from my AKRONE K02... Nickel! It fits it perfectly! The watch is light. Looking at it, you really feel like you have one of all the versions of the OMEGA Speedmaster! In short, it's very cool! This version is deliberately a tribute to the Speedmaster ALASKA PROJECT I, II, III, and IV from 1972 to 1979 and the Speedmaster ALASKA PROJECT reissue from 2008 (see photos). The hands of the sub-counters of the said model are taken from the "Mars", as well as the red second hand, the white dial. Finally, the red color of the case recalls the aluminum heat shield in which the watch was protected from extreme temperatures.
