Both I and my neighbor are still quite disgruntled by the Omega × Swatch solar mission series. The watches come out okay on photos, but are incredible prone to scratches and the case material chipping away in small bits. Granted, both of us rode them heavy. The movement on mine broke after 13 months, my neighbor’s is still going fine, but the crystal is absolutely trashed, at this point it’s an ongoing experiment to see how long the watch will last and what will be the part that irrecoverably breaks first. AP × Swatch seems like a good experimental subject for someone who hasn’t seen the Omega × Swatch collab in action. Collectible value of those, I’m pretty sure, is lower than of a generic Tissot within the same price range.
