Ashcroft & Vane Lunar 1965

MoonSwatch 1965

This limited-edition chronograph features a gray premium polymer case, crown, and pushers, along with a gray VELCRO® strap with contrasting light gray stitching and a premium polymer loop. It has a white dial and a black premium polymer bezel with a white tachymeter scale.

This watch features two unique counters at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions. The first displays the number 19 (instead of the usual 60) at the top, while the other shows the number 65 (instead of the usual 10), referencing the year 1965. These counters are calibrated to total 19 hours (10 o’clock counter) and 65 minutes (2 o’clock counter), making the chronograph reading slightly different from typical chronographs.

The numbers 19, 65, and 60 (on the subdial at 6 o’clock) glow blue under UV light, paying tribute to the OMEGA Speedmaster and the flight qualification it received from NASA 60 years ago, in 1965. On the battery cover, there is an image of the Moon. The dials of all watches in this collection feature the OMEGA X Swatch branding, the iconic Speedmaster logo, and the MoonSwatch logo.

Also common to all models are the domed bio-sourced glass construction, the engraved “S” at the center of the crystal referencing the Swatch logo, the refined circular pattern on the outer dial ring and recessed subdials, the smooth and angular lug design, and of course the unique bioceramic feel.
