The wait is over and the 1965 MoonSwatch has landed. Inspired by the Speedmaster worn on NASA missions this release celebrates the year it all changed for Omega. Whether you queued in person or managed to snag one with us online it deserves the right strap.

In this post we will break down what makes the 1965 edition special and which straps pair perfectly if you want your watch to feel as good as it looks

Why the 1965 Still Matters

This MoonSwatch nods to the chronograph certified by NASA in 1965 the Speedmaster that would go on to make history on the moon. With its grey bioceramic case and polar white dial this model is all about heritage

Which Strap Should You Pick?

Flight Qualified Woven Strap


We developed a custom strap exclusively for the 1965 MoonSwatch designed to honour both its legacy and function. The textured woven finish brings depth and durability while staying true to the utilitarian style of the original NASA certified Speedmaster. The all-black strap creates a striking contrast against the white dial transforming the entire feel of the watch into something instantly more purposeful.

On the underside you will find a discreet engraved tribute — a nod to the mission history this watch represents. This strap is available in multiple colour variations but for collectors the black edition remains the most faithful to the spirit of 1965.

The Flight Qualified Strap Bundle

The perfect Speedmaster style match for everyday use. Durable and military inspired with that unmistakable heritage feel. This bundle includes two interchangeable straps designed specifically for the 1965 MoonSwatch. One offers a rugged woven texture that mirrors the original NASA-tested equipment while the second provides a sleeker look for everyday wear. Both options can be swapped effortlessly with the included curved spring bars giving you flexibility without compromising on style.

Curved Rubber - Colour Matched

This is the strap that prioritises everyday comfort without losing the iconic MoonSwatch feel. Made from flexible rubber with a textured surface it offers a snug wrist fit and a clean low profile. The curvature of the strap hugs the case and wrist for a seamless look while the robust rubber keeps it practical in all conditions. A great option for collectors who wear their watch daily and want something understated with a technical edge. Colour matched to the case in grey with a white stitch the match the dial

Make It Yours

A collector's watch deserves a personal touch. Whether you want something functional for daily use or a strap that turns heads every detail matters

Final Thought

If the 1965 is already on your wrist you are halfway there. The right strap completes the story. And just like the original Speedmaster it is the details that make it timeless

Stay ready. Stay strapped
