In line with today’s announcement, the solar system will play a key part in the partnership. In no particular order, we can confirm that the sun, the moon, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus all bear some relevance to the collaboration. “The sun came first, and then the rest followed,” Kissling tells us, which would be in keeping with the narrative of the Bible. Cryptic clues like the temperature on the Moon can reach 127 degrees during the day and -173 degrees at night, or that the huge red spot on Jupiter is a giant storm bigger than Earth, or that one day Mars will have a ring and Uranus spins on its vertical axis will possibly confuse, but one thing everyone knows is Omega went to the moon, so might it be exploring the whole Milky Way next?
An array of colour
The watch world has never been more colourful, and this is true of what Omega and Swatch are close to dropping. On whatever it is we were privy to seeing, we counted hues of pale blue, dark blue, black, grey, pink, beige, white, yellow, red, mint green and brown. As Kissling puts it, “this is a rarely seen palette of colours. A passionate attention to key features and storytelling details and a reference to the infinite beauty of the solar system.”
