Here are some teaser photos from Revolution’s instagram. Looks to be space themed and Bio-Ceramic.

Omega have done just about every variation of the Speedmaster imaginable. Could this be a plastic style Speedmaster?

ETA I am looking forward to seeing this though.

I'm wondering that too. In the above image it seems possible. The earth would appear to be the battery cover, common with Swatch pieces.

I predict a Speedy Limited Edition with another combination of moon or snoopy on the dial.

Maybe both Swatch and Omega will release watches with the same theme. Swatch release will be their typical watches and Omega might do something in the luxury market segment????

I predict both Omega and Swatch will release watches on the 26th. Same theme, same date, etc.

It’s not going to be a cheap plastic Omega, or an expensive steel case Swatch.

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.”

Some of the comments about a set of colored watches based on the planets is a pretty cool idea. I'm sure I'll buy one or 8 plus Pluto.

That would match the white, yellow, red mentioned in the GQ magazine interview above. But my God, what is that thing. Looks like something McDonald's would give away free with a happy meal. And what planet is that supposed to be?
