The Swatch Mission to the Moon 1965 puts a white dial inside the familiar grey MoonSwatch case, giving the Speedmaster-derived design a noticeably different face. Its distinguishing detail is quieter than the colour change: the chronograph subdials carry oversized 19 and 65 markings, a nod to the year NASA qualified the Omega Speedmaster for manned space missions.
Released in 2025 for that qualification’s 60th anniversary, SO33M106 is a commemorative model rather than a recreation of the watch NASA tested. Choose it over the standard Mission to the Moon if you prefer the white dial’s contrast and the anniversary treatment. Those unusual counter markings aren’t merely decoration, either: the chronograph uses 65-minute and 19-hour counters, so reading elapsed time takes a little adjustment if you’re accustomed to conventional scales.
What owners love
- The white dial, black bezel and grey case make a particularly clean combination. Owners like how easily it works with everyday clothes and how well it suits grey NATOs or black rubber straps.
- The applied, old-style Omega logo gives the dial a little depth, while the unusual 19-hour and 65-minute chronograph counters give the 1965 its own personality rather than just another colour scheme.
Common Criticisms
- The supplied Velcro strap is a recurring weak point: owners complain about its feel and fiddly fastening, and some find the standard length too short. Replacing it is a common change even among people who otherwise love the watch.
