The MoonSwatch 1965 – A Tribute to Omega’s Space Legacy
Alright, watch lovers, here we go again! Swatch and Omega have just dropped another MoonSwatch, and this time, it’s all about 1965—the year NASA officially crowned Omega as its go-to timepiece for space exploration. If you’re into horology, history, or just love a good hype train, this release is one to watch—literally.
So, what makes the MoonSwatch 1965 so special? First, let’s talk about the timing. March 1, 1965, was when Omega beat Rolex and Longines to become NASA’s chosen watchmaker. Fast forward 60 years, and we have this latest MoonSwatch dropping exactly on the anniversary date—March 1, 2025. That’s precision timing, both in history and marketing.

At first glance, the MoonSwatch 1965 looks familiar. It keeps the signature 42mm bioceramic case and 30m water resistance, just like its predecessors. But if you look closer, you’ll find some clever Easter eggs. The chronograph subdials aren’t just there for show. At 10 o’clock, the usual ‘60’ is replaced with ‘19,’ and at 2 o’clock, the ‘10’ is swapped for ‘65’—together spelling out ‘1965.’ But here’s where it gets even cooler: these subdials are actually calibrated to measure 19 hours and 65 minutes instead of the usual time increments. That’s a unique complication you don’t see every day, especially in a quartz watch.
Then, there’s the vintage Omega logo on the dial and strap—a direct nod to the original Speedmaster that passed NASA’s rigorous space tests. And let’s talk lume. When the lights go out, the hands, markers, and those special ‘19’ and ‘65’ numbers glow in the dark, reinforcing the tribute to Omega’s historic year.
Of course, the MoonSwatch 1965 is expected to bring the same level of hype as previous releases. Swatch stores will be the only place to get one, and you can bet there will be lines out the door when they drop on March 1. Whether you’re a die-hard collector or just love a good watch story, this release proves once again that Omega and Swatch know how to keep us talking.
So, what do you think? Is this one worth the queue, or are we just getting another slice of MoonSwatch madness? Either way, one thing’s for sure—this one means more.
