The Royal Pop circus had got me thinking about that earlier collab; the red-and-white Mission to Mars MoonSwatch got lodged in my head. More than four years since the MoonSwatch, a £240 version of Omega’s £6,000-and-up Speedmaster, had upended the watch world, I had finally bought one. Last year, I was slightly burned when I bought another hyped quartz watch collab, which shall go unnamed, online. I don’t think so, partly because I actually put my MoonSwatch on my wrist before I paid up. Getting my MoonSwatch four years late felt like a cheat code.
