Another trip to the moon! The Omega × Swatch Speedmaster MoonSwatch 1965 is the latest MoonSwatch collaboration between these two iconic brands — and the good news is that it’s a non-limited edition timepiece.

This Omega model has ties to NASA and was the go-to watch for aerospace engineering in the ‘60s. Different watch brands competed for that title back in the day, but Omega debuted a high-quality watch with top-tier specs.

Since this new Omega x Swatch watch honors the ref. 105.003-64 model, most elements are quite identical to the ones featured on the retro model. The hour markers, for instance, bear a close resemblance to the markers that guided NASA in 1965.

Omega didn’t take any chances with this new model. It pulled a new card from its sleeve. While the original model was rolled out with normal chronograph denotations, the 2025 edition has unique engravings that read this—1965. Think of it as a clever way of reminiscing about the past.

Unlike regular watch models, this model tracks 19 hours and 65 minutes and redefines the conventional way of tracking time while still honoring the first-ever model.

The number is hidden in plain sight but looks amazing in the dark, thanks to the watch’s luminous properties.

Even though the original model was released with a black dial, Omega used a brighter shade on this new timepiece. The casing is also characterized by a grey shade, which draws inspiration from the celestial body that lights up our world at night.

The strap also blends with the casing and adds to the overall look. The new OMEGA X Swatch chronograph has an affordable price tag of $270 and will be available starting March 1.

Omega Seamaster 37 mm Milano Cortina

In preparation for the 2026 Winter Olympics, Omega rolled out a new timepiece, the Omega Seamaster 37mm Milano Cortina, as part of its ongoing partnership with the Olympics. Details featured on the watch, from the hour markers to the case back, are centered around the games.

The new watch draws inspiration from a timepiece that was rolled out into the market in the ‘50s. And just like this new watch, the retro Omega watch paid tribute to the Olympic games. Both watches have gold hour markers, characterized by a diamond-like shape. Since previous models had a gold casing, the new watch follows in the footsteps of its predecessors. It’s equipped with a 37mm casing manufactured from 18k gold.

Hamilton's Chrono-Matic 50 has been getting better with time. While the previous model was rolled out in 2019, it leaned more toward the retro style. The 2025 edition, however, is the contemporary version of the models that came before. It comes with new features that elevate the design to a whole new level. But, it’s worthwhile to note that a few features were still preserved, so the watch has a retro-like theme that smoothly blends with contemporary features.

Think of the new Hamilton watch as a bridge between retro and contemporary styles. Unlike the previous model from 2019, the 2025 watch has new striking, stylish colors. It comes with a blue dial, accentuated with white subdials strategically positioned at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock for enhanced precision. As a throwback to the original design, the new watch was rolled out with a large casing, similar to the one on the first watch.
