Frequently Asked Questions
What lug width is the MoonSwatch?
The MoonSwatch has a 20mm lug width.
Can I put any 20mm strap on a MoonSwatch?
Yes. The MoonSwatch uses standard 20mm spring bars, making it compatible with any 20mm strap. Many owners immediately swap the stock Velcro strap for a NATO, rubber, or leather strap.
Is the MoonSwatch automatic?
No. The MoonSwatch is a quartz chronograph. Despite its visual similarity to the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch (which is manual-wind), the MoonSwatch uses a battery-powered Swatch quartz movement.
Is the MoonSwatch case fragile?
The Bioceramic material is lightweight and scratch-resistant but can crack on hard impacts. The HESALITE crystal scratches easily but can be polished with Polywatch, just like the original Speedmaster hesalite.
