Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch: Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold

The Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch collection has become one of the most talked-about watch collaborations in recent years. Combining Omega’s space legacy with Swatch’s fun and accessible approach, the series introduced a new generation to the iconic Speedmaster design. The latest release, called Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold, takes things a step further by introducing new complications and thoughtful details. It launches for a specific reason: the Sturgeon Moon, the full moon of August, which occurs on August 9, 2025, the same day the watch will be available in stores.

Inspired by the Moon and Earth

The Mission to Earthphase features the same 42mm case size that’s familiar to anyone who’s seen or worn a MoonSwatch. It’s made from Bioceramic, Swatch’s blend of ceramic and biosourced plastic, giving it a lightweight yet sturdy feel. The case is finished in navy blue, matching the tone of the Velcro-style rubber strap. What sets this model apart is the addition of two new features on the dial: A moon phase complication at the 2 o’clock position, with two full moons made from Moonshine™ Gold — Omega’s special gold alloy. One of the moons has a net-like texture, referencing the Sturgeon Moon. A unique display at 10 o’clock shows how Earth would look from the Moon, mimicking the moon’s phases and adding a new visual layer to the watch. These additions make this MoonSwatch more technical and visually engaging, while still keeping things playful.

Small Touches That Add Character

In addition to the dual-phase indicators, the dial features an illustration of Snoopy and Woodstock, two beloved characters linked to Omega’s NASA history. Omega was awarded the Silver Snoopy Award by NASA for its contribution to space missions, and Snoopy has become a recurring theme in Omega’s designs. There’s also a hidden message under the surface. When exposed to UV light, a small quote appears on the dial: “I beat everybody.” This kind of detail adds to the collector appeal and stays true to the creative nature of the MoonSwatch series.

Updated Strap and Hands

The strap on this model is slightly different from earlier versions. It’s made of rubber and designed for more comfort, especially for daily wear. The strap also includes a Bioceramic loop and Velcro closure, making it easy to adjust on the wrist.

Availability and Pricing

The Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold will be released exclusively on August 9, 2025, and only in selected Swatch boutiques around the world. There will be no online sales, no pre-orders, and no restocks — so availability will be limited to that day. The retail price is expected to be around USD 380, which is slightly higher than standard MoonSwatch models but reflects the added complications and premium detailing.
