For the first time ever, Omega partnered with Swatch to recreate one of its most revered models of all time, the Speedmaster Moonwatch. Unlike sneakers and apparel, where collaborations seem to happen on a weekly basis, partnerships within the watch industry occur only once in a blue moon. Especially when it comes to reworking coveted designs like a Speedmaster, the hype and excitement for a watch of its kind is a big deal. Whether you completed your Moonswatch mission by standing in line or by securing yours on StockX, check out how to put together A Perfect Fit for this unique watch.
For Omega, the Speedmaster has helped catapult the over-century-old watch brand into horological stardom. Among all of the references from history and pop culture, one of the Speedmaster’s most amazing feats is that it is the first watch worn to the moon in 1969. That moment in the watch’s history has solidified it as a watch industry staple and, alongside its $5,530 retail price, has made it an aspirational piece of jewelry for many. This year’s first-ever collaboration with its parent company, Swatch, has made obtaining a Speedmaster more feasible than ever, as the watch was offered in 11 different colors, each at a price point of $260 retail, over a 95% decrease from the Speedmaster’s original MSRP. Each watch utilizes a different case and bracelet material from the original, swapping steel for a durable bioceramic case and velcro strap. Regardless of the material, the watch looks nearly identical to its Moonwatch Professional predecessor, and with its variety of colors, watch fans can get the iconic Speedmaster in a variation that speaks to their aesthetic. The Speedmaster’s meteoric return has brought a great deal of hysteria and hype back to the watch game, making the Omega watch one of the hottest accessories of the season.
Nike Air Force 1 Low White ’07
The Nike Air Force 1 Low White ’07 is arguably one of the cleanest sneakers that anyone could ask for in footwear. Its entirely white colorway makes it easy to pair with mostly anything you bring to it, allowing the wearer to dress it up or down. The AF1’s versatility makes it the perfect companion to the Moonswatch, a watch that looks great whether it’s worn casually or formally. Regardless of whatever color Moonswatch you fancy, the Air Force 1’s neutral palette makes them a perfect sneaker for any Moonswatch you throw its way.
Supreme Burberry Denim Trucker Jacket Beige
The neutral colorway of the Mission to the Moon Moonswatch makes it great to pair with eccentric pieces, like this Supreme Burberry Denim Trucker Jacket. Supreme collaborated with London-based luxury house and brand Burberry for a special collection of pieces, with a handful of them featuring Burberry’s nova check. The Supreme Burberry Denim Trucker Jacket Beige features the Nova Check motif all over the jacket, with Burberry and Supreme’s logos both embroidered on the back. If you’re looking to bring double the luxury to your fit, then this jacket is for you.
AMI Paris Button Down Ami de Coeur Oxford Shirt
For those looking for a minimal and distinguished fit for your Swatch x Omega, look no further than this button down from AMI Paris. Although AMI Paris is one of the latest brands to hit the StockX marketplace, it has been around for over a decade creating signature essentials such as cardigans, crewnecks, and oxfords. The AMI Paris Button Down Ami de Coeur Oxford Shirt features a classic Oxford Blue cotton material throughout but has a pop color come through with AMI’s red Ami de Coeur logo. The colors of this shirt not only make it a spring-ready piece but also help add another level of sophistication to the Moonswatch watch, especially the hits of red from the Swatch x Omega Mission to Pluto.
Jacquemus Le Chiquito Moyen Tote Bag Light Green
Just like this Swatch x Omega collection, Jacquemus also offers a plethora of stylish and vibrant pieces fit for any outfit. The Jacquemus Le Chiquito Moyen Tote Bag Light Green is an ideal handbag for the spring, as its Light Green color resembles the blossoming leaves and flowers of the season. What better way to pair the color of budding plants than with a Moonswatch themed after mother Earth herself. The Mission to Earth Moonswatch boasts a fluorescent green and dark blue case and crystal, matching well with this French Jacquemus bag.
Eric Emanuel EE Basic Short (SS22) Yellow
When it comes to warm weather fits, Eric Emanuel never fails. In fact, the double E shorts king recently dropped a collection of shorts for 2022, prepping for the warmer seasons. The Eric Emanuel EE Basic Short (SS22) Yellow brings the primary color front and center, just like the Mission to the Sun Moonswatch. This watch’s dial features the signature chronograph display with a pop of red on the bezel’s markers and on the seconds’ hand. Pair both of these pieces together for a bright fit that is sure to turn heads.
BAPE x Levi’s Bandana Olivedrab
Just like watches, bandanas can be the right accessory for rounding out an outfit. It can be worn around the neck, stuffed into a back pocket, or even tied around an ankle, whatever a look needs. This BAPE x Levi’s Bandana Olivedrab combines the bandana staple paisley print with the signature hyped design of BAPE’s Ape Head. The Olivedrab color on the bandana brings a more muted vibe to the typical spring-time pastel but still adds an extra cool, biker aesthetic. Pair this alongside the Mission to Saturn Moonswatch’s similar dark-toned color scheme, and even throw in this denim shirt from Kith, for a complete Americana look.
