The Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch offers endless customization possibilities by combining different strap options. Whether you prefer the classic NATO® straps, comfortable rubber straps, or the highly durable sailcloth and Cordura straps, there's a perfect match for every watch enthusiast.

Let's take a closer look at these strap options and see how they can transform your MoonSwatch into a true statement piece!

NATO® Straps for Moonswatch Watches

Originally designed for the British Armed Forces, NATO® watch straps are made of ballistic-grade nylon and stainless steel hardware, offering both comfort and security. The Mission To The Moon MoonSwatch, for example, features a lighter gray BioCeramic color scheme that can be perfectly complemented with a NATO® strap in a matching hue. With a variety of colors and styles, these straps will make your MoonSwatch mission-ready and stylish at the same time!

Another great thing about NATO® straps is their compatibility with virtually any watch, including Swatch's MoonSwatch collection. Their easy-to-install design makes them a popular choice among watch collectors who enjoy swapping straps to match their mood or outfit. So why not explore this versatile option and give your MoonSwatch a fresh, military-inspired look?

Rubber Straps for Moonswatch Watches

For those who prefer a more casual and sporty look, rubber watch straps are an excellent choice. Made from a durable rubber material, these straps are waterproof, lightweight, and incredibly comfortable to wear. Plus, they come in a dazzling array of colors and styles to suit any MoonSwatch model.

To choose the right rubber strap for your MoonSwatch, consider the color scheme of your watch. For instance, the Mission To The Moon model features a lighter gray BioCeramic case that could be beautifully paired with a rubber strap in a matching shade. With so many options available, you can easily find the perfect rubber strap to elevate your MoonSwatch and make it uniquely yours!

Sailcloth and Cordura Straps for Moonswatch Watches

For the more adventurous watch enthusiasts, sailcloth and Cordura straps offer durability and water resistance, making them suitable for active sports and outdoor activities. Sailcloth watch straps are made of canvas or synthetic fabric, while Cordura straps are crafted from Cordura-nylon. Both materials provide a rugged yet stylish look that perfectly complements the MoonSwatch collection.

However, it's essential to choose a strap with a buckle finish that matches the BioCeramic case of your MoonSwatch. For example, the author of this article initially chose a Gunmetal Grey buckle finish but later switched to a Smoke Grey strap with a black buckle finish to achieve a better match.

Keep this in mind when selecting your sailcloth or Cordura strap, and your MoonSwatch will look as flawless as ever!

Matching Your MoonSwatch Model

By considering these elements, you can make an informed decision when selecting the perfect watch strap for your Moonswatch timepiece. Let's explore some popular Moonwatch models and their strap recommendations!

The lightweight and comfortable design makes it perfect for everyday wear, while the tachymeter scale allows you to measure speed and distance.

When selecting a strap for the Mission To The Moon model, consider the watch's color scheme and features. For example, a classic NATO® strap or a durable rubber strap in a matching shade of gray would beautifully complement the steel grey watch and black VELCRO strap. Don't be afraid to mix and match different strap styles to create a truly unique and personalized MoonSwatch!

Mission To Uranus

The Mission To Uranus model (SO33L100) is a breathtaking Swatch x Omega watch that features a 42mm bioceramic case, quartz movement, and a light blue chronograph dial. With its mesmerizing color and intricate design, the Mission To Uranus model is sure to make a statement on your wrist.

To accentuate the stunning light blue dial, consider pairing this model with a simple yet stylish white NATO® strap, as suggested by fellow watch enthusiast Nacho. By choosing a strap that complements the unique features of your Mission To Uranus watch, you'll create a standout timepiece that's sure to garner compliments and admiration from fellow watch aficionados.

Mission To Neptune

The Mission To Neptune is an amazing watch model from the Swatch brand and MoonSwatch collection. It boasts quartz movement, 3 bar water resistance, and a durable stainless steel case. The sleek, modern design features a black dial and silver hands, making it an attractive and versatile accessory for any occasion.

Given the model's water resistance and durable construction, consider pairing the Mission To Neptune with a strap that's equally suited for water activities, such as a rubber strap or a sailcloth and Cordura strap.

Tips for Changing Your MoonSwatch Strap

Once you've found the perfect strap for your MoonSwatch, it's time to change it! But before you dive in, it's essential to understand the process and gather the necessary tools.

In this section, we'll guide you through the steps of changing your MoonSwatch strap, including the tools you'll need, removing the original strap, and installing your new strap. Get ready to give your MoonSwatch a fresh new look!

Tools You'll Need for Watch Band Removal & Replacement

To change your MoonSwatch watch strap, you'll need a spring bar tool or pliers to remove the old strap and install the new one. A screwdriver may also come in handy for some types of straps, so it's best to have one on hand just in case.

When using these tools, be sure to handle them with care to avoid damaging your watch or strap. Take your time and work patiently, ensuring that you're using the right tool for the job. With the proper tools and techniques, you'll be able to change your MoonSwatch strap with ease and confidence!

Removing the Original Watch Strap

Before you can install your new strap, you'll need to remove the original strap from your MoonSwatch. To do this, you'll need a spring bar tool with a special 1mm fork that fits in the spring bar holes. Locate the spring bar holes on the sides of the watch case and insert the fork into the holes, gently pushing it inwards.

As you push the fork inwards, pull the strap away from the watch to remove it. Be careful not to scratch or damage your watch during this process, and always work with a steady hand.

Installing Your New Aftermarket Moonswatch Strap

Now that you've removed the original strap, it's time to install your new one! If you're using a strap with the Barton Quick-Release System, you can easily change the strap yourself without any tools. Simply remove the original strap using the quick-release system and install the new strap following the same method.

If your new strap doesn't have a quick-release system, you can still use the spring bar tool or pliers to install the strap. Insert the spring bar tool into the lug holes and excitedly push the spring bar into the hole. Once the strap is securely in place, you can sit back and admire your refreshed MoonSwatch with its stylish new strap!

MoonSwatch Strap Care and Maintenance

Let's dive into the world of strap care and maintenance!

Cleaning Your Moonswatch Watch Bands

Keeping your MoonSwatch straps clean is crucial for maintaining their appearance and longevity. To clean your straps, remove them from the watch and use a toothbrush with soapy water to gently scrub away any dirt. Be sure to clean all areas of the strap, including the buckle and any crevices where dirt may accumulate.

After cleaning, rinse the strap with clean water to remove any soap residue. Pat the strap dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching it to your watch. Regular cleaning will help keep your straps looking fresh and new, ensuring that your MoonSwatch always looks its best!

Storing Your MoonSwatch Watch Straps

Proper storage is essential for preserving the lifespan of your MoonSwatch straps. To avoid exposure to UV light and minimize contact with anything that could dry them out, it's recommended to store your straps in an airtight container at room temperature. This will help protect your straps from any potential damage and keep them in optimal condition.

After cleaning or rinsing your straps, always allow them to air dry before storing them. This will help prevent any moisture from becoming trapped in the container, which could cause mold or mildew to form.

By storing your straps correctly, you'll ensure that they remain in pristine condition and ready for your next wrist adventure!
