I rather like the blue āAtlanticā version. Also not a quartz movement. Retail Ā£340.

Iām a generous man. Iāll give you Ā£50.
As a Blancpain owner and enthusiast. this is no substitute for the real thing.
For that money you could buy a nice Seiko.

Merely highlighting something watch related of potential interest. Whether itās any good or not is up to the individual.

Agree.
I havenāt seen the blancpain version, but I wasnāt impressed with the omega x swatch models.
To me they look and feel like swatch watches but with an omega face and plastic case. I was also told by the dealer that some dark versions of the watch even discolour over time.
You are effectively paying a premium for a Swatch that looks like a Speedmaster. Some may like that, but personally Iād rather save up for a real Speedmaster or get a Seiko.

Agreed. Bought this on line for a steal (Ā£364 vs Ā£480). Solar prospex diver, put a geckota strap on and itās great

Itās hit and miss but I picked up 3 moons in July. In Montreal. I just got lucky but I had to use three different means of paying. Only one per day otherwise. All were in stock apart from the blue one (Neptune) which has been withdrawn due to colour quality issues.
The manager would not disclose any details of future availability.

I went into the Swatch store in Strasbourg last month. They had either the full set in the presentation case which I believe is a silly price or a few of the more colourful examples. Not the standard black or grey.

wow, I didnāt know the Neptune was withdrawn. Itās such an awesome collaboration, Iām so close to biting the bullet and ordering one through StockX.
I think itās a shame theyāre not sistem51, that would have made them truly awesome.

That is hard to believe. In June, my daughter walked into a swatch shop in Amsterdam and had the choice - they had all of them and she picked the Mission to Jupiter for my birthday.
Yes it is plasticky. Yes it is very light. I still like it. And wear it nearly every week.

I was having a mooch around Battersea shopping thingy not so long ago and the Swatch shop there had them all in the window.
