Ask a watch guru about their favourite perfect replica watches collabs, and chances are, the Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch phenomenon will be in the mix. Now the affordable link-up – which has so successfully brought together two legendary brands on different ends of the price spectrum – is amping things up in 2025 with some updated straps.

Swatch and Omega first linked up in 2022, and the cost has always been on the affordable side (the recent Mission To Earthphase model clocked in under £300), most models have been super hard to get your hands on with the Moonshine Gold release fetching upwards of £1000 on the secondary market. But to start the new year, rather than dropping new UK 1:1 fake watches Swatch has just dropped some bi-colour rubber straps with quick release features. An equally hardy alternative to the usual velcro strap, there’s loads of different colours to pick from, including navy blue/ blue rubber, red/white rubber, orange/sand rubber, dark blue/green rubber, white/yellow rubber, black/grey rubber, bordeaux/light grey, pink/white rubber, brown/beige rubber, blue/white rubber, and grey/black rubber.

The new straps have a durable Bioceramic loop and velcro closure meaning they will do a job on ensuring your MoonSwatch stays how you want it on your wrist. The top of the strap nods to the high quality replica watches‘ moon-tracking features with a nifty textured surface resembling a space suit, which makes sense when you factor in the moonphase feature (it allows the wearer to track the different cycles of the moon and was initially favoured by those on the move) on some of the latest MoonSwatch releases.

Rubber straps are great for a daily driver, designed with the wear and tear of regular use in mind. They’re easy to clean and maintain, and when it comes to replacing the strap, the latest MoonSwatches come with a specialised tool to make it even easier. Omega divers like the best China fake Omega Seamaster 300M and Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M watches come on rubber straps, but a replacement costs north of £500, so bagging a Swatch x Omega diver for £38 is a steal. Indeed, at that price, we expect to see the bright and bold types bagging two straps and mix and matching.

Omega and Swatch’s Bioceramic bad boy has a fair few celebrity fans, including football god Zlatan Ibrahimovic​​ (who rocked the Mission to Mars release) and former Italian striker Alessandro Matri (who wore the Mission to Saturn copy watches for sale). Given the new strap’s sporty credentials, we reckon they’ll be first in line when it comes to release day.

Footie players aside, the MoonSwatch has also been spotted on Omega stan Daniel Craig, who repped the ‘Mission to Neptune’ back in 2023. And while his Bond days are behind him, a MoonSwatch replica watches wholesale UK on a rubber strap feels like a nice memento to his world-saving role.
