Return of the Illusive Liquid Golden Elixir - Now Targeted for Interplanetary Infiltration
Introducing the MISSION TO EARTHPHASE - MOONSHINE GOLD
Swatch and Omega have unveiled a new timepiece in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, the MISSION TO EARTHPHASE - MOONSHINE GOLD. This special edition watch combines Swatch's innovative earth phase complication with Omega's signature Moonshine™ Gold, celebrating imagination and exploration.
The watch boasts a 42 mm navy Bioceramic case with a quartz chronograph movement, featuring seconds only. The dial is white opaline, adorned with OMEGA X Swatch, Speedmaster, and MoonSwatch logos, and hour markers and hands coated with Grade A Super-LumiNova® (green emission) for enhanced visibility.
The moon phase indicator is located at the 2 o'clock subdial and features two radiant full moons, one designed in the style of Snoopy and both coated with Omega's Moonshine™ Gold. Below this, an illustration shows Snoopy and Woodstock on the Moon, symbolising imagination and the pioneering spirit tied to the original Moonwatch. A hidden UV ink phrase underscores this connection, visible only under black light.
The earth phase indicator is located at the 10 o'clock subdial and shows how Earth appears when viewed from the Moon. It follows a 29.5-day cycle in reverse, a poetic reinterpretation of the retrograde function found in high-end watches.
The bezel is navy Bioceramic with a tachymeter scale featuring white markers. The strap is made of navy VELCRO® rubber, with a matching Bioceramic loop, completing the sporty yet elegant look.
The watch is water-resistant to 3 bar and is available exclusively on August 9 at selected Swatch stores worldwide. The MISSION TO EARTHPHASE - MOONSHINE GOLD is a technical and artistic tribute blending innovative watchmaking with cultural icons Snoopy and the Moonwatch, appealing to collectors interested in space, storytelling, and horological creativity.
Key details include a box-shaped glass in biosourced material with an "S" engraved in the center, referencing the Swatch logo. The moon phase disc features two full moons coated with Moonshine™ Gold and a Snoopy-inspired cast net, paying homage to the August "Sturgeon Moon".
The timepiece is crafted from Bioceramic, a mix of two-thirds ceramic and one-third biosourced materials produced from castor oil. The battery cover features an Earth-inspired design, adding to the watch's cosmic narrative.
