MoonMods is a boutique custom watch‐modification atelier specializing in reimagining the iconic Moonswatch design and customizing Seiko movements into bespoke, artful timepieces. Positioned as a maker of “made-to-order art pieces,” MoonMods offers clients a chance to own a watch that fuses inspiration, craftsmanship, and personalization rather than a mass-produced model.

What MoonMods Offers
MoonMods offers two primary build routes:
- Moonswatch Mods — These are custom variations on the Moonswatch aesthetic (a widely admired crossover model originally inspired by the Omega × Swatch “MoonSwatch” concept).
- SEIKO Mods — For clients who appreciate reliable mechanical movements, MoonMods integrates Seiko mechanical or automatic movements into customized watch cases.
In addition to full builds, MoonMods provides strap options and bespoke modifications. Some customers may send in their own watches (or parts) and request the MoonMods team to transform them into custom “ready-to-wear” pieces.
One interesting feature is their Snoopy Mods line: they’ve even integrated moonphase subdials into certain Snoopy-themed builds.
MoonMods is quick to clarify on its site: these pieces are not official Omega, Swatch, or Seiko group products but rather custom artistic modifications done independently. Check this out: Steel Case Moonswatch
How the Process Works
MoonMods outlines a few paths for clients:
- They can source all the parts themselves and deliver a fully built watch.
- Alternatively, clients can send in their own watch or parts, and MoonMods performs the modifications.
- A “DIY kit” option is also mentioned as “coming soon,” giving clients the possibility to do at least part of the assembly themselves.
The approach is hands-on and collaborative. Clients get a degree of creative control, choosing case finishes, dials, color accents, straps, and mechanical movements.
Pricing & Availability
On their storefront, some builds are listed, for example a “Black Snoopy” mod is priced around AUD 540. The MoonMods site handles international shipping and supports ordering from many countries.
Reception & Community
MoonMods has a presence on social media (Instagram) under the handle moon__mods, where they highlight their builds, custom projects, and visual portfolio. Their branding positions them as an Omega × Swatch + SEIKO specialist, with global shipping.
In watch-modding circles and forums, MoonMods is sometimes discussed with curiosity and scrutiny. One Reddit thread in /r/MoonSwatches asked: “Has anyone used moon__mods on Instagram? … good to check if legit.” As with any custom or modded timepiece, buyers generally evaluate trustworthiness, craftsmanship, and after-sales support as part of the decision to engage.

Final Thoughts
MoonMods stands at the intersection of horology, customization, and creative expression. For those who are passionate about the Moonswatch styling or the capability of Seiko movements—and who wish to own something singular rather than off the shelf—MoonMods offers a compelling proposition. That said, as with any boutique customization business, due diligence, clear communication, and realistic expectations are key.
