Description
Bioceramic MoonSwatch “1965” Edition
Inspired by one of the most defining years in space-exploration history, the Bioceramic MoonSwatch “1965” edition blends futuristic materials with design cues that honour the legacy of the Speedmaster. Built in a sleek monochrome palette, this special chronograph pairs a smooth grey Bioceramic case with matching pushers, crown and a durable VELCRO® fast-strap finished with contrasting light-grey stitching and a Bioceramic loop for extra comfort.
The crisp white dial is framed by a bold black Bioceramic bezel engraved with a bright white tachymeter scale, adding classic Speedmaster attitude. Two unconventional subdials at 10 and 2 o’clock instantly make this model stand out. Instead of traditional markings, they highlight the numbers 19 and 65 — a tribute to the year 1965 — and are uniquely calibrated to measure 19 hours and 65 minutes, offering a fresh twist on standard chronograph timing.
Under UV light, the numbers 19, 65, and 60 (found on the 6 o’clock counter) illuminate with a striking blue glow, celebrating the Speedmaster’s NASA flight-qualification milestone from six decades ago. Turn the watch over and you’ll find a detailed Moon graphic on the battery cover — a subtle reminder of the cosmic inspiration behind the collection.
Every watch in the series carries the combined OMEGA x Swatch signatures, the iconic Speedmaster emblem and the distinctive MoonSwatch branding. Additional refined details include a box-shaped biosourced crystal with an etched “S” at the center, recessed subdials, a finely textured outer ring, and sharply sculpted lugs that complete the look. For nighttime visibility, the hour markers, central hands and chronograph seconds tip feature Grade A Super-LumiNova®, glowing a bright green for perfect legibility after dark.
A fusion of heritage, creativity and modern materials — the “1965” MoonSwatch is a playful yet meaningful tribute to the year that helped shape space history.
