The Bioceramic MoonSwatch swiftly gained popularity on the internet after its release in March 2022. Long queues and quick inventory sales were reported by Swatch retailers worldwide. Similarly, hours-long lines of people waited to buy his new MoonSwatch. However, they quickly sold out despite the shop’s restriction of just two timepieces per buyer. 

In a statement, Swatch claimed that the company could not meet demand. Likewise, the Swatch Group CEO Nicholas Hayek acknowledged that 4 months after the MoonSwatch launch, purchases of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch surged by over 50 percent. Also, the SWATCH Group recently announced in January 2023 that they sold up to one million MoonSwatch timepieces in 2022, which is impressive!

Due to its demand, it’s obvious that the Bioceramic MoonSwatch watch has captivated several celebrities despite its plastic and cheap design. This is indeed the case as several famous individuals have been sported wearing the watch. 

Overall, let’s look at some of the celebrities who have worn this $260 timepiece.

• Ed Sheeran

It comes as a surprise that Ed Sheeran, whose insane multi-million dollar timepiece assortment is well known, possesses a $260 Bioceramic MoonSwatch. Of the 11 models, he particularly went for the “Mission to the Moon” variation, which closely mimics the classic Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.

Even the most serious and ardent collectors, like Sheeran, approve of the MoonSwatch, which is basically a toy Speedmaster. Besides, given that Ed Sheeran is notorious for wearing watches costing over $1 million, including those made by Patek Philippe and Richard Mille, purchasing this piece seemed strange.

Even so, this watch is a totally black Bioceramic Omega Swatch Speedmaster, similar to the classic Moonwatch. It also features a black bezel, a black dial, and a prominent white tachymeter display.

• Leonardo Bonucci

Leonardo Bonucci shared a photo from his Christmas 2022 celebration in Paris on his Instagram account. In the picture, he wore a 42-millimeter Bioceramic Omega X Swatch “Moonswatch” “Mission to Neptune” Quartz Chronograph, ref: SO33N100.

Besides being an Italian professional soccer player, Bonucci is also the central defender for Serie A club Juventus and the Italy national league. Furthermore, he is considered among the best defenders of his time and renowned for his agility and ball-handling skills.

• Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a Swedish footballer, made it to the list of famous people or players who wear Bioceramic MoonSwatches. He was seen sporting the MoonSwatch “Mission to Mars” when watching AC Milan vs. AC Monza in a Serie A game at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan.

This timepiece honors Mars by featuring vivid red hues contrasting with a white velcro strap. Moreover, the fact that both subdials are designed to resemble rockets may be a testament to humanity’s long-standing desire to visit Mars.

• Alessandro Matri

Alessandro Matri, an ex-Italian footballer, was seen sporting a MoonSwatch’ Mission to Saturn’ model SO33T100 in April 2022. On this variant, the cool sandy tones look great in contrast to the brown VELCRO strap and dial. Similarly, the indicators on the tiny dials, the tachymeter gauge, as well as the chronograph seconds pointer are all brown.

The Saturnian rings are displayed on the second dial. Moreover, the legendary Speedmaster emblem, the brand-new MoonSwatch symbol, and the OMEGA X SWATCH insignia are all present on every dial. In addition, Super-LumiNova is used in all hour, minute, chronograph seconds, and hour indicators for excellent nighttime visibility.

• Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig frequently wears an Omega timepiece, such as a Seamaster Diver while playing James Bond or a Seamaster 1948 while playing Benoit Blanc. Nevertheless, for his attendance at the National Board Of Review Annual Awards Gala movie industry conference in New York, he went with yet another Omega: the $260 MoonSwatch.

A plastic wristwatch is typically not the preferred accessory for a high-profile celebrity occasion. However, Craig’s 42-millimeter Bioceramic Omega X Swatch “Moonswatch” “Mission to Neptune” Quartz Chronograph watch is outstanding in many respects. Despite its modest selling value and basic plastic (Bioceramic) design, the watch has become a favorite even for stars due to its reputation and the impossibility of obtaining one. It also demonstrates that the MoonSwatch retains a lofty position despite tepid hype and rising sales.

Daniel Craig usually looks classy, and this deep blue Mission to Neptune perfectly complemented his stylish outfit. Furthermore, this demonstrates that the user makes the wristwatch appear excellent and not the other way around.

• Daniele De Rossi

De Rossi is well known for his time playing with his hometown club Roma in Serie A, and as a former FIFA World Cup-winning Italian international.

Conclusion 

In general, the Bioceramic MoonSwatch is reputed to be difficult to obtain. It is not usually available on the internet, sells out rapidly at stores, and frequently sells for more than the original price on the secondary market. This makes it equally as exclusive as the premium timepieces due to its high desire ratio.
