The Lunar curved-end rubber strap for the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch

Made to fit the MoonSwatch

The Lunar is a rubber strap made to fit the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch. Every MoonSwatch uses the same 42 mm case with 20 mm lugs, so the Lunar fits any model in the range. The end that meets the watch is curved to follow the round case, which lets the strap sit close to it instead of stopping in a straight line. On a watch with a different case shape the curve won't line up, so for other 20 mm watches a straight-end strap from our watch bands is the better pick.

The top has a fine textured pattern. The buckle piece carries a stainless steel pin buckle in silver and two rubber keepers, and the long piece has seven holes. The strap is about 0.12 in (3 mm) thick and bends easily around the wrist.

There are eight colors. Black/Pink and Black/Red are black straps with a colored line along each edge, a quiet way to pick up a colored hand or subdial. Gray has a light line along the edges, and Blue, Green, Red, Pink and Mint are one plain color all over, ready to match or contrast with the dial of your watch. Pink and Mint are the brightest of the set, Gray the most neutral. On a colored case, a strap in a matching shade makes case and strap look like a set, while Gray or one of the black straps lets the case color stand out.

Fitting and sizing

The MoonSwatch holds its strap on spring bars, and the Lunar comes with a spring bar tool, so you can swap it at home in a few minutes.

1. Lay the watch face down on a soft cloth.
2. Slide the forked end of the tool between the strap and the lug, catch the collar of the spring bar, push it in and lift the strap out. Do the same on the other side.
3. With a spring bar in the end of the Lunar, set one tip into its lug hole, push the other tip in with the tool, line it up with the opposite hole and let it click into place.
4. Fit the buckle piece at 12 o'clock and the long piece at 6 o'clock, then tug each end gently to check it's seated.

The long piece is about 4.7 in (120 mm) and the buckle piece about 3 in (77 mm). The simplest way to check the length is to measure a strap that fits you well, piece by piece, and compare. Once it's on, close the buckle on the hole that keeps the watch on top of your wrist with room for a finger under the strap, and tuck the tail through both keepers.

Keep your old strap and its spring bars together in a small bag, so you can switch back whenever you like. If a spring bar won't click in, check that it sits fully inside the strap end and that both tips move freely, then try again.

Care

Rubber is easy to look after. Rinse the Lunar with fresh water after salt water, a pool or a sweaty day and pat it dry. A drop of mild soap and a soft toothbrush clean the textured top, and the light colors come back to their shade with a wipe. The strap doesn't mind water, but your MoonSwatch has its own water rating, so check that before you swim with it.
