Aurus Quick-Release Watch Strap for Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Soft Comfortable & Durable - No Tools Required!

Product Information

The advantage of rubber is that it is a durable product and it can take a beating. Especially if you are going to use the Omega X Swatch MoonSwatch as a daily watch, a rubber strap is actually always recommended. This is because sweat minimally affects the strap and therefore it keeps longer. In addition, it is comfortable. One of the other big advantages is that rubber can be made in any color you want. Therefore, we are free to make the best possible combination with the color of the MoonSwatch. Oh yes, and a few more useful facts about rubber watch bands: hypoallergenic and water-resistant. Nice to tell at a party. Omega Speedmaster , Bulova Lunar Pilot, and the Omega+Swatch MoonSwatch . There is a Moonwatch for every budget and an authentic Lunar strap to wear them all on . Mission to Jupiter – A bronze case with a warm tan dial, evocative of our solar system’s largest planet. As a side line it is also worth pointing out that Moonwatches look great on NATOs. Whilst NATOS were never used on any NASA missions the military chronograph style of these watches really lends them favourably to NATO straps and there are many options which give you the classic “over the spacesuit” look. Apollo 15 had instructions to undertake EVA moonwalks and more distant exploration using the new Lunar Rover. To many Apollo fans, 15 is therefore the definitive mission as the astronauts explored so much more of the surface than previous visits which had been restricted to walking distance.

The final pairing today is for the controversial Mission To Neptune. Why is it controversial? Well, you may have seen a few people complaining about the blue BioCeramic case leaving some blue residue on their wrists. There’s no hiding this, and it does happen. Ben’s Mission To Neptune in the photos was no exception, and it “blued” his wrist too. Despite this, the Mission To Neptune is a great-looking watch, and it probably wouldn’t be enough to put me off. I understand some people may not be too keen, however. Swatch set the watch world abuzz at the end of March 2022. In the run up to this, the Swiss watch giant had partnered with its subsidiary Omega for a re-interpretation of one of history's most famous timepieces: the legendary Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, i.e., the first watch on the Moon. A stylish watch it is. Without a doubt. The MoonSwatch is a watch that many an enthusiast considers a must-have. It is a stroke of genius for Omega to team up with Swatch to create this collaboration. Although about the watch itself there is little to say. Is the watch strap something we could not see, or feel. The velcro strap was something that, for us at least, detracted from the charm of the watch. It didn’t feel finished. It needed to be, and could be, different. At least we did it for you. All watch fans who want to go the extra mile for their beloved MoonSwatch. As you would expect from ZULUDIVER we did not compromise on quality with the strap being made from high strength slanted nylon using a unique shuttleless weaving process which offers superior friction resistance and colour retention. The military grade non-fray hook and loop fastening system is hypoallergenic and will work in temperatures as low as -30 degrees. It should securely open and close more than 5000 times. The matt, corrosion resistant, steel loop is embossed with the ZULUDIVER name.The Mission on Earth MoonSwatch features the widest palette of colors in this collection: the case is an earthy green, the bezel and dial are navy blue, and the subdials are white. The chronograph hands round off the watch nicely, and are a brownish red. OK, so the MoonSwatch might not quite yet be widely available online, but there’s no harm in making sure you’re fully prepared for when it is. I didn’t get my Mission To Mercury on the day of release. I had to wait until a couple of weeks after the launch, but the wait was worth it. Why? Because I was fully prepared with my replacement strap, ready to go. Like pastel tones? Then be sure to have a look at the Mission to Uranus or Mission to Venus, in light blue and powder pink, respectively. The Venus model also features oval-shaped subdials that have tiny ornamentation within their outer rings, giving this model an extra-playful feel compared to the others in the collection. The beige Mission to Jupiter is something for every fan of the Speedmaster "Ultraman." Its most outstanding features are the orange chronograph hands that were also found on the original Ultraman from the late 1960s, as well as the 2018 Speedy Tuesday Ultraman special edition.

At ZULUDIVER we had wanted to develop an authentic Moonwatch strap for some time and early in 2022 we released the ZULUDIVER LUNAR strap. Early models sold out and the strap is now on its third production run! We undertook extensive research studying original NASA blueprints and numerous vintage photographs of astronauts to get our product as accurate as possible yet functional for daily use. Looking for a MoonSwatch that's in keeping with the original Omega? Look no further than the Mission to the Moon. This model's colors, lettering and numbers, and overall look are nearly identical to the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. An alternative here is also the Mission to Mercury, whose gray tones give it a unique look that is nevertheless faithful to the classic Speedy. All of the eleven MoonSwatch models pay tribute to one of the planetary bodies in our Solar System, as seen with their case and dial colors. The models that will catch your eye the most are probably the Mission to the Sun and Mission to Neptune. The former shines in a bright, lemon yellow, while the Neptune model stands out with its rich blue hues. The Mission To The Moon is the most “classic” looking of all the MoonSwatches. The dial is straight out of the Moonwatch playbook, and the lighter gray BioCeramic clearly aims to mimic the metallic color of the Moonwatch’s steel case. I feel that this makes straps a little easier to some degree, as if it works for the Moonwatch, it’ll likely work for the MoonSwatch. There is one exception, however: please don’t go putting steel bracelets on your MoonSwatch. It’s not big, and it’s not clever. Nobody is laughing with you; we’re laughing at you.

Mission To Neptune

Mission to Pluto – It might not be a planet any more, but Pluto’s watch stands out with a white case, tan dial, and red bezel and subdials. There are plenty of choices for where to grab one for yourself, but the MoonSwatch in the images belongs to our Social Media Manager, Sinara. Her watch is on the excellent Bond NATO from Australian strap supplier, Artem Straps. Nacho, our Managing Editor, reviewed Artem’s NATO straps earlier this year and was very impressed. Given how neatly this Bond strap complements the Mission To The Moon, I don’t think you can go far wrong. The aptly-named MoonSwatch has the exact dimensions and design of the original Omega, including "lyre" or twisted lugs, and a wider right case flank that serves to protect the crown and pushers. You'll also find a tachymeter bezel with the "Dot over 90", as well as slightly stepped subdials that the MoonSwatch adopted from the famous Moonwatch. Some MoonSwatch design elements are taken from particularly sought-after Speedmaster models such as the " Ultraman" or "Alaska Project". Along with the Swatch and MoonSwatch logos, the dial also contains the Omega logo and the famous Speedmaster lettering. The watch is an all-out assault of blue. You might be tempted to try and offset this all-blue visage, but I’m of the opinion to just roll with it here. It’s funny because Ben’s strap combination was the first thing I thought of when I first saw the Mission To Neptune images. I very nearly bought this exact model for this exact strap combo. Where is this strap from, you ask? Well, it’s another from Artem straps. No, you grow up. The Mission To Uranus inevitably garnered memes and jokes aplenty at the time of launch. It doesn’t matter how old we are or how serious we can be; butt jokes are always funny. Once we got past the sniggers and laughs, we found the Mission To Uranus was a bright little beaut. Those baby-blue tones are refreshingly unisex, and the white bezel is the perfect complement.
