In a fascinating celestial alliance, the renowned watchmakers OMEGA and Swatch have once again united their creative forces. Their latest collaboration presents a remarkable limited-edition timepiece, the MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase in Moonshine Gold, a true testament to innovative design and playful artistry. This release, timed perfectly with a significant lunar event, promises to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike with its distinctive features and storytelling.
\nThe Stellar Debut: OMEGA x Swatch's Latest Cosmic Creation
\nOn August 9, 2025, aligning with the awe-inspiring Sturgeon Moon, the highly anticipated MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase will make its grand debut. This exceptional watch is encased in a sleek 42mm navy Bioceramic body, reflecting the depths of space. Its pristine white opaline dial is adorned with luminous markers, ensuring visibility even in the darkest cosmic corners. A standout feature is its intricate dual complication layout: a moonphase indicator at the two o'clock position, exquisitely highlighted with OMEGA’s signature Moonshine™ Gold, and an earthphase display at the ten o'clock mark, illustrating our planet's appearance from the lunar surface.
\nAdding a whimsical touch to this astronomical marvel, the beloved characters Snoopy and Woodstock are depicted beneath the earthphase, gazing skyward. A charming secret lies beneath them: a hidden UV-reactive quote from a vintage 1969 Peanuts comic strip, waiting to be discovered by its wearer. Driving this celestial timekeeper is a precise quartz movement, meticulously engineered to orchestrate both complications in a 29.5-day cycle, moving in opposing directions, offering a fresh interpretation of traditional celestial timekeeping.
\nFurther enhancing its deep-space aesthetic, the watch is secured by a navy rubber strap, fastened with a VELCRO® closure and a matching Bioceramic loop. The battery cover features a captivating Earth-inspired graphic, reinforcing the theme of cosmic exploration. As with all MoonSwatch models, it boasts biosourced glass etched with the iconic “S” logo and is treated with Super-LumiNova® coating, ensuring remarkable luminescence for nocturnal adventures. This extraordinary piece will be exclusively available for purchase at select Swatch stores for one day only, retailing at $380 USD.
\nThis collaboration exemplifies how innovative design can intertwine with playful elements to create something truly unique. The integration of beloved characters like Snoopy not only adds a touch of nostalgia but also makes sophisticated horology accessible and enjoyable for a broader audience. It reminds us that even in the precision-driven world of watchmaking, there's always room for imagination and a sense of wonder. This timepiece isn't just about telling time; it's about telling a story—a story of partnership, innovation, and a shared fascination with the cosmos.
