There is a reason the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon (ref. MOONSWATCH MISSION TO THE MOON) keeps showing up in conversations about the best watches in its class. The finishing and attention to detail speak for themselves. It wears its 20mm lug width elegantly, and that is where aftermarket straps come in.
The case measures with a thickness of 13.25mm — proportions that sit comfortably on most wrists without dominating them. It strikes that balance between presence and wearability that makes it suited to almost any strap.
Here are my 7 picks — and why each one works.

1. Best Overall — Light Grey Epsom Slim Strap
If you're buying your first aftermarket strap for the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon, this is where I'd start.
The Light Grey Epsom Slim Strap features Epsom leather, tanned by Haas. The fine, uniform grain gives it a clean, contemporary look that resists scratches and moisture with ease. This is leather that looks as sharp six months from now as it does on day one. At 2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
On the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon, this strap preserves the watch's go-anywhere character. The case at 13.25mm thick pairs naturally with the padded construction without creating any imbalance on the wrist.
Worth a look in other colourways:
- Black Epsom Slim Strap
- Tinware Grey Epsom Slim Strap
- Hunter Green Epsom Slim Strap
- Izmir Blue Epsom Slim Strap
2. Best Dressy — Glossy Taupe Brown Crocodile Signature Strap
The MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon cleans up remarkably well — and this strap is the reason.
The Glossy Taupe Brown Crocodile Signature Strap is made from genuine crocodile leather with a distinctive scale pattern that no embossed leather can replicate. The texture adds visual depth and character that works equally well with a suit or a smart-casual outfit. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
What makes this pairing work on the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon is the contrast — the refined case finishing against the texture creates visual interest without conflict. With a case, the proportions stay balanced.
A combination that's greater than the sum of its parts.

3. Best Everyday — Sand Nubuck Slim Strap
For daily wear, comfort and versatility matter more than anything else.
The Sand Nubuck Slim Strap is crafted from nubuck leather — soft, velvety to the touch, and comfortable from the first wear. No break-in period needed. The suede-like texture adds a casual warmth that takes the edge off a formal watch without losing sophistication. At 2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
Paired with the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon's distinctive dial, this strap adds a layer of personality that the factory option does not offer. The 13.25mm case thickness means a padded strap like this one feels proportional and substantial.
Once you see it on the wrist, it just clicks.

The MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon's case is ideally proportioned for this strap. Whether you are wearing it casually or dressing it up, the combination feels intentional. It is the kind of pairing where both the watch and strap look better together than apart.

5. Best Casual — Taupe Rubberised Leather (Togo) Signature Strap
For those days when the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon comes out with jeans and a t-shirt.
The Taupe Rubberised Leather (Togo) Signature Strap uses rubberised leather — a material that blends the look and feel of leather with the water resistance and durability of rubber. The smooth finish is clean and modern, and the pastel colour options add a playful element to otherwise serious watches. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
On the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon, this strap preserves the watch's go-anywhere character. The case at 13.25mm thick pairs naturally with the padded construction without creating any imbalance on the wrist.

Sport straps need to perform — water resistance, comfort, durability. This checks every box.
The Navy CTS Rubber Strap is made from FKM rubber — a high-performance elastomer that resists chemicals, heat, and ageing. Unlike silicone, it does not attract dust or lint. Cut-to-size construction means you trim it to your exact wrist measurement — no leftover tail, no keepers. At 4.0–3.3mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.

The MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon's case is ideally proportioned for this strap. Whether you are wearing it casually or dressing it up, the combination feels intentional. It is the kind of pairing where both the watch and strap look better together than apart.

A Note on Buckle Colour
Quick but important: always match your buckle to your case. The MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon's BIOCERAMIC (2/3 ceramic, 1/3 bio-sourced plastic) case calls for a silver (brushed or polished) buckle. All Delugs leather straps ship with a pin buckle and can be upgraded to a Spring Deployant Clasp for extra security and convenience. All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars pre-installed, so swapping straps takes seconds.
How to Change the Strap on Your MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon
Swapping straps on the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon is one of the easiest upgrades you can make — and with Delugs straps, you don't even need a tool.
If your MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon came on a bracelet, you'll first need to remove it. The easiest way to do this at home is with a Bracelet Removal Tool, which lets you compress the spring bars without risking scratches to the lugs or caseback. Once the bracelet is off, you can slide your new Delugs strap straight in.
All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars already pre-installed, so changing straps is completely tool-free. Here's how:
- Prepare your workspace. Lay the watch face-down on a soft cloth or microfiber pad to protect the caseback from scratches.
- Release the spring bar. Locate the small lever on the quick-release spring bar. Pull it back with your fingernail or fingertip to compress the bar.
- Remove the strap. While holding the lever, angle the strap out from between the lugs. Repeat for the other side.
- Insert the new strap. Slide one end of the spring bar into the lug hole. Pull the lever on the quick-release spring bar knob, guide the entire spring bar into the opposite lug hole, and then release the knob. You should hear a small click when the spring bar extends and seats into the lug hole.
- Check the fit. Give the strap a gentle tug to make sure both spring bars are securely locked in. If there's any play, reseat the spring bar.
The entire process takes under a minute once you get the hang of it — no spring bar tool required. The MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon uses a standard 20mm lug width, and all Delugs straps in 20mm will fit perfectly.
