Omega and parent company Swatch have announced an upcoming collaboration. The big reveal is March 26, but rumor has it that it will be a series of Swatch quartz chronographs based on Omega's Speedmaster Moonwatch. A lot of Omega fans are not real happy about it, seeing it as a downscale move. LINK

i wonder if their luxury brand sales are down and this is a gauge to test where they should put most of their resources going forward.

Lmao "based on." They slapped a Swatch quartz movement in a speedmaster and they're selling it for $250. I don't like the move at all.

This is like when some rich woman sees some trashball woman with an identical, but fake, Louis Vuitton purse and then blows her stack

As someone who considered getting a Speedmaster as my next luxury watch, this makes me feel icky

It’s really not a bad looking watch for people who like the Omega but don’t like the Omega price. $260
