Swatch X Omega

probably muy only chance to own an omega speedmaster. im in.

Am I the only one that sniggered at mission to Uranus?

1200 euros😁

You can try but I am guessing that stock will be gone 5 minutes after opening....give it a month or two.

There is no mention of limited edition so those prices on ebay are potentially absolutely insane

these are lovely - I am assuming they won't be a limited edition and will be restocked ? I'm in the US in June and will see if I can pick up one or two - really good looking watches.

Lads if you think there will be any stock 5 minutes after opening of any store you are dreaming. It will be a few months before the casual (read somebody not going to waste a day of their life to make 200 euro profit) collector leave it a while and there will be plenty out there then. The prices will be set initially by those that value their time more than the excess over retail the scalpers put on it. Just remember the **** show that was the launch of the Q timex.

These aren't limited edition and Swatch have confirmed they will be available online at a later date.

I'll definitely pick one up at some stage, I really liked having the speedmaster reduced on loan and 42mm would suit me better.

The case is bioceramic "BIOCERAMIC is a game-changing blend of ceramic and bio-sourced plastic. Find all your favourite Swatch icons in BIOCERAMIC, a unique Swatch innovation."

I think the case is one piece so no chance of servicing etc in the future.

Thats exactly what it is, but there is nothing wrong with a swatch, very strong collector base in that brand. It is priced at retail accordingly. Its the watch community that are going to turn this into a travesty with scalping and flipping because at the end of the day a good proportion of watch collectors actually worship profits over the watches themselves.

There was a time watch people were generally into cars and watches. Now they are into Crypto, meme stocks and watches. Fast money, minimal effort.

one of my favourite day to day watches is a swatch ... for €250 they will look nice on the wrist - which is what is it all about.

Not saying its a bargain but it is a real watch thats generated some of its own hype and at RRP it seems like a fun item to own. Richard Mille dont seem to have any issue selling plastic watches with velcro straps.

It's not a bargain in any conventional definition, but I don't know, it's just such a cool thing to get a hold of. I never felt like I was getting a bargain while buying the non swatch moonwatch and I probably will feel the same buying these but watches are interesting for a bunch of reasons. I get your point but there are guys out there who get a kick out of this kind of thing.

Well in a world where a tank of petrol is 120 euro I think 250 euro a watch that you can wear every day for years on end and not be ashamed to wear, is not bad at all. Its an interesting concept....how much should a watch cost? Look at the guy on the Pagani Design thread all arsey that it has great specs but is in reality a total POS. He is spending less than this Swatch but he is getting so much less and a dose of shame for free.

Honestly apart from the hype **** and all the scalping I am not seeing any downside to these swatches.....sure a Seiko SKX007 is 350 euro these days, and in reality thats not a brilliant watch.
