Swatch's Impressive Return to Shizuoka
The highly anticipated "MoonSwatch Tour" is making its way back to Shizuoka, Japan. Set to take place at the iconic Matsuzakaya Shizuoka Department Store on May 31st and June 1st, 2025, this event promises to draw both locals and enthusiasts from afar to experience the fusion of style and innovation presented by Swatch. Celebrated for its vibrant designs and cutting-edge collaborations, Swatch is once again harnessing the excitement of its unique Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection in a tour aimed at connecting with fans directly.
A Unique Retail Experience
Held at the North Building's first floor special venue within Matsuzakaya, the MoonSwatch Tour provides an opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in Swatch's world. This department store is a well-known landmark in Shizuoka City, making it an accessible stop for shoppers and tourists alike. The hands-on experience allows attendees to feel the essence of Swatch's innovative designs firsthand during this exclusive two-day event.
The Story Behind the Bioceramic MoonSwatch
The Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection was born from an innovative collaboration between Swatch and OMEGA, combining the groundbreaking spirit of the legendary OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch with Swatch's playful creativity. Launched in 2022, this unique chronograph collection has captured global attention with its distinct designs and thematic names inspired by celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, and planets.
Ever since its debut, the collection has continued to fascinate both collectors and casual wearers alike. However, these pieces are only available at select Swatch stores within Japan, making the MoonSwatch Tour a rare opportunity for fans to experience the collection in person.
A Tour Like No Other
The MoonSwatch Tour is not just a showcase of watch-making; it also features a vintage twist with a classic FIAT 500—introduced in the same year as the OMEGA Speedmaster—now adorned with the MoonSwatch. Having started from the Swatch headquarters in Biel, Switzerland, this vintage vehicle has been traversing various unique locations across Japan, creating an exciting connection between the past and the present.
