Alaska and Mars
I was lucky enough to recently track down an Alaska Project—it’s a fantastically interesting Speedmaster, with a unique dial and a handset that really “pops.” I decided to put it on a black nylon strap, which I think accentuates the color scheme and is easy to wear with anything.
I took a picture of it here with the Swatch Mission to Mars, which clearly has details inspired by the Alaska. There is no comparison—fortunately—between the feel and quality of the watches, but they are both fun!

Love em both!!
I only have the MoonSwatch at this point in time, but would happily add the Alaska Project Speedmaster given a reasonable opportunity . Much appreciate the excellent picture of both! Cheers, Filip
A great way to enjoy the MoonSwatch.
An ideal everyday companion to the fantastic Alaska. Obviously one doesn’t need to own an Omega Speedy to enjoy the MoonSwatch but I do think in cases like this is a great pair.
