*Omega and Swatch

I own an Omega already but it's a pocket watch from the 20s and I have no idea if it's related to the actual Omega brand we know and love today.

For Christmas somebody bought me something I really didn't think I wanted: The OmegaxSwatch Mission to the Sun moonwatch.

The "moon watch" is nickname of the Omega Speedmaster Professional, which was worn on Gemini 4 and Apollo 11, and was the first watch on the moon.

Swatch paired up with Omega to create a quartz knockoff, named the "Moonswatch" and now I own one.

Let me tell you this thing is sweet. Also, it has a Velcro band, which I never thought I'd like, and I could stare at the strap where it says "Speedmaster" as much the front where it tells time.

I love it! Haven't taken it off since.
