MoonSwatch Saturn Box Set
Like all other MoonSwatches, this Mission to Saturn comes in black cardboard box with an outer sleeve.
Along with pictures of all the planets corresponding to each individual watch, the sleeve of this watch box also alludes to Saturn:
- Having a temperature of -139°C
- Being the flattest planet
- Having 14 rings
- Having a high density
I’m not sure exactly what is they’re referring to with this last point, but I suppose it’s somewhat related to the last facet of the sleeve, which indicates “One cannot stand on Saturn as it is made of gas.”
What’s In The Mission To Saturn’s Box?
The box set of the Mission to Saturn MoonSwatch is relatively simple. It includes the watch wrapped around a cardboard “pillow” as well as a couple of booklets covering the entire collection.
MoonSwatch Saturn Dimensions
The product listing page of the Mission to Saturn includes the official case dimensions as advertised by Swatch. However, I’ve often found that these aren’t quite right. Therefore, I’ve measured the case myself with my calipers and shared them here.
When measured with the crown, the diameter of the Mission to Saturn is 43mm.
When measured without the crown, the case diameter is about 41.5mm.
When measuring the lug-to-lug dimension of this MoonSwatch, I found it to be about 46.5mm.
As far as case height or how tall the watch sits on the wrist, it is 13mm. I have a relatively large wrist, so this measurement was perfectly fine for me. However, I can see this being slightly large for some with smaller wrists. IDeally, you’d try these on your wrist before shelling out the cash for them.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly if you’re planning on fitting the watch with aftermarket straps, is the strap size. This MoonSwatch has a strap size of 20mm.
Below, you can see the rubber MoonSwatch strap that I’ve fitted to mine. These are available in dozens of different colors on Amazon for about $13. I found this brown one to be the most fitting, and in fact the brown tone of the strap is very similar to the brown tones found on the watch.
I’ll also note that the fit of the straps against the case is quite snug, so it’s clear these are well designed and do offer a cleaner look when they’re fitted to the watch.
On-The-Wrist
In the following images, you can see how this Mission To Saturn fits on my wrist. Additionally, I’ve tried to capture the true tone of the case in some natural light.
The bioceramic makes the watch really light, so much so that I’ll often forget I’m wearing it. Moreover, if I change back to a steel watch, I’ll instantly notice the difference and have to get used to wearing a more substantial watch once more.
I mention this as I’ve noticed other reviewers online mention that the light weight makes the watch feel cheap. I disagree with these opinions wholeheartedly and have been quite happy wearing this Mission To Saturn and the few other MoonSwatches I’ve managed to purchase so far.
