Celebrating our two nearest celestial bodies, the Earth and the Moon, Swatch’s new non-limited creation is now available in an earth phase for the first time.
Just like the Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE MOONPHASE watches, the MISSION TO EARTHPHASE timepiece sports a moon phase on the subdial at two o’clock and offers various views of the Earth as seen from the Moon, at various times.
The patented earth phase is coloured to pay tribute to the diversity and beauty of our blue planet. Clouds are also visible, along with the contrast between forests, deserts, and oceans — which has been coated with UV ink that is visible only in UV light.
The craters of the moon have been created using digital printing to emphasise an enchanting view of the Moon facing the Earth while the watch’s dial features a unique graining that resembles lunar dust.
Similar to all the models in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, MISSION TO EARTHPHASE is made from Swatch’s patented Bioceramic that is a unique mix of two-thirds ceramic and one-third bio sourced materials produced from castor oil.

The Bioceramic bezel features a black tachymeter scale and the striking new light gray markers, alongside a chronograph function.
This new watch also sports its mission statement on the back of the case, as well as the OMEGA X SWATCH logos on the dial and crown with a moon bearing the footprint of Neil Armstrong on the battery cover.
