OMEGA and Swatch continue to grow their longtime partnership with a new version of the Moonswatch -- this time, coming in a Mission to Earth variation. The timepiece is made with details that nod to our own planet as fans were excited by a teaser image that was posted on Instagram by Swatch showcasing the name and case of the collaboration.
There are two videos that surfaced on Swatch's Instagram that announce the collaboration starting with a video of the Earth's atmosphere and ending with the teased launch date of June 2024. The second video follows a similar theme but the floating cases bounce around and closely zoom into the logos of the contributing brands.
