In Hindsight: The Omega X SWATCH MoonSwatch - luxury watch

In Hindsight: The Omega X SWATCH MoonSwatch



Oftentimes in life we gain a healthy portion of perspective when we take the time to look back on decisions past. Not to second guess, but to reflect and evaluate, and if needed, update our biases and opinions. This is especially the case with watches that come into and out of (and sometimes back into) the fold of our collection or admiration. It?s particularly interesting to look back at what some consider hype watches, and ponder them outside the cloud of the masses. Shortly after the launch of the Omega X SWATCH collaboration, the MoonSwatch, we had a feeling that this would be one of those watches worth coming back to. 
Indeed, the drama around this launch may have faded, however it?s just beginning to carve out its own space in collector and enthusiast circles on its own merits. The watch never did end up being offered online officially, and it?s still a tricky one to land, but thankfully, second hand prices have settled into retail or near retail territory, limited instead by their availability at scale. We reviewed the watch, both in full form from Zach Weiss, and from an owner?s perspective alongside a steel Speedmaster Professional, and now, we?re asking members of our editorial team if the watch has left any form of a lasting impression, all these months later.
