As far as AAA UK replica watches collabs go the MoonSwatch is up there. Nothing hits quite as good as an out-of-the-blue link-up between two of your favourite brands; in the watch world, this often comes with a pretty hefty price tag, like the mega-rare Patek Philippe x Tiffany’s Nautilus models (over £1 million at auction). So when Swatch and Omega linked up for the OG MoonSwatch in 2022, mashing together perfect Omega fake watches’ luxury watchmaking with Swatch’s creative approach and accessible price point, the internet going into a celestial spin to try and get one was hardly surprising.

And now we have a new one. Just like previous releases, the inspiration is the planets and stars – only this time, the mission starts on planet earth. The top 1:1 replica Omega Bioceramic MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase watches is slated to be the most complicated MoonSwatch to date, boasting a moon phase function (a tool to help you track the different phases of the moon), and for the first time ever, an earth phase, which is basically a moonphase, but for planet earth. With a grey dial, light grey top-stitching and a grainy grey dial, it has a distinctely lunar look and feel, too.

The interplanetary fun doesn’t stop there either. On the battery cover, there’s a footprint of Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Plus, It’s got all the features you’d expect from Swiss made copy Omega MoonSwatch watches, including the co-branded Swatch and Omega velcro strap, box-shaped biosourced glass construction, and the etched “S” logo on the glass.

As far as affordable watches go, the Omega Mission To Earthphase replica watches for men is catnip for big-time watch heads, you’re getting a complication that doesn’t exist in any other watch in a sub-£300 kettle, so we reckon it’s only a matter of time before it ends up on Ed Sheeran’s wrist (the singer-songwriter wore the Seamaster-esque Moon release back in 2022). Other high-profile luxury China super clone Omega MoonSwatch watches wearers include Daniel Craig, who chose the Neptune colourway, and Zlatan Ibrahimović, who went for the ultra-showy Mission To Mars model.

The introduction of brand new complications is always a big deal in the wholesale replica watches game. And for it to come in at under £300 from Omega and Swatch’s ongoing collab proves that MoonSwatch is way more than a marketing gimmick.
