Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch, G-Shock DW5600, And Watches I'd Buy In 2022

The Swatch x Omega "MoonSwatch" Speedmaster is the biggest affordable watch sensation since the Apple Watch first broke cover in early 2015. Perhaps more than any smartwatch debut, reaction to the "Bioceramic Collection" MoonSwatch mirrors the initial frenzy for the Swatch Sistem51 automatic winding mechanical Swatch watch of 2013. Regardless, the combination of Omega Speedmaster Professional as Swatch Watch pop culture relevance has created the wristwatch consumer phenomenon of 2022. The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch was redesigned for the 2021 model year as a Master Chronometer with a revised look, new bracelet, and co-axial caliber 3861. But with prices solidly over $6,000, the Speedmaster Professional remains a luxury product beyond the reach of many watch enthusiasts. Enter the Omega-Swatch alliance and the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection. The MoonSwatch Speedmaster Chronograph has a retail price of $260. That's reasonable given the charm, durability, and style on offer. But when the Moonswatch arrived in March of 2022, all versions of the 42mm quartz chronograph sold out immediately. As of July 2022, the MoonSwatch remains unavailable at Swatch stores, and secondary markets such as chrono24 and eBay have witnessed price mark-ups of up to $4,000 for used examples of the new Swatch watch. Omega offers eleven version of the MoonSwatch Speedmaster chronograph. All versions reference celestial bodies orbiting the Sun, the Sun itself, and Earth's moon. Th
