So, my younger brother is a Swatch fanatic and a member of their Gold & Pioneer club (whatever that actually means :-D). Anyway, he was invited to Switzerland recently as a guest of Swatch Group for their annual jolly and, as part of this had the opportunity to purchase said Jupiter MoonSwatch. As it wasn’t really his ‘thing’ he asked if I wanted it, of course I couldn’t say no……
First impressions are mixed, the supplied strap was uncomfortable and just too short. The bioceramic is strange to the touch, it is obviously not plastic but in comparison to my Omega Seamaster ceramic it feels warmer to the touch and has a more Matt finish - if that makes sense.
Anyway, yesterday I thought I’d try the watch on a vintage suede strap and, in my opinion, it’s a transformation.
I think that the strap really brings the watch to life and makes it look far better in every way.
That said though, although the watch represents good value at list, there is no way that I would pay more than that.
Now for a very average (as usual) picture.
