Swatch x OMEGA MoonSwatch mission to EarthPhase

It’s been a good few months Steel And OMEGA have released a new one MoonSwatch. Introducing the Mission to EarthPhase, an unlimited Speedmaster-inspired chronograph that comes in a light gray bioceramic construction.

In terms of features and specifications, the new reference shares similarities with the previous MoonSwatch – Mission to the Super Blue Moonphase – but the color scheme is much more reminiscent of the 2023 Moonshine versions. What really sets this timepiece apart from its predecessors are the details on the gray dial.

The 10 o’clock sub-counter has been redesigned as an earth phase display. Shaped like a crescent moon, the indicator shows a colorful earth motif as seen from the moon itself. The space around the lower end of the crescent is accentuated in a moon-like texture, completing this concept.

The moon and Earth each complete their phases in about 29.5 days, but in opposite order. So if we see a full moon from Earth, someone on the moon would see a “new Earth,” and therefore the EarthPhase function moves opposite to a regular moon phase.

The Mission to EarthPhase MoonSwatch will be available from November 2, 2024 at select Swatch stores worldwide, priced at $325. For more information, visit Swatch’s official website website.
