A new MoonSwatch has landed. In an all-white colourway and with a moon phase function to boot, OMEGA X SWATCH have collaborated once again for a Bioceramic MoonSwatch, aptly titled MISSION TO THE MOONPHASE in honour of the full moon. This latest model arrives two years after the groundbreaking, and much-hyped, launch of their OMEGA x SWATCH collaboration, and will be available from 26 March at selected Swatch stores.
The silhouette of the non-limited watch certainly follows the other models from the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, though this one’s equipped with the chronograph function and a moon phase function that shows the different phases of the moon — which then marks the first time Swatch has combined a moon phase with a chronograph.
Then, there’s Snoopy. The beloved character from the Peanuts comic strip makes an appearance on the timepiece’s moon phase disc, this time lying on a crescent moon. If you too are wondering why, it’s because Snoopy has been NASA’s mascot since the 1960s and is considered a lucky charm among astronauts.
The MoonSwatch itself takes its cues from the original OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch, the first watch to go to the moon, with key design elements such as the asymmetrical case, iconic tachymeter-scaled bezel with the dot over the 90, and signature Speedmaster subdials. Further details include a mission statement on the caseback, OMEGA X SWATCH logos on the dial and crown, and a moon inspired by the world of Snoopy on the battery cover. Interestingly, the watch also features a spacesuit-ready VELCRO© strap as a final callback to its space inspiration.
