A playful yet profound tribute to space exploration, this Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch is a stellar collaboration between two giants of Swiss watchmaking. The “Mission to the Moonphase” celebrates the prestigious Silver Snoopy Award that NASA awarded to Omega in 1970 for its crucial contributions to space mission safety.
The Dial: A Celestial Homage Presented in a striking, clean, all-white colorway, this timepiece is a vision of minimalist cool. The dial maintains the legendary Speedmaster layout, but with a whimsical twist. The star of the show is the moonphase disc, located in the subdial at 2 o’clock, which features Snoopy—NASA’s beloved safety mascot—taking a nap on the moon. As a delightful secret, a hidden quote from a Snoopy comic strip (“I can’t sleep without a night light!”) magically appears on the moonphase subdial when exposed to UV light.
Case & Strap: Innovative and Iconic The 42 mm asymmetrical case is crafted from Swatch’s innovative white Bioceramic, a unique and sustainable blend of two-thirds ceramic and one-third bio-sourced plastic. This material is lightweight, durable, and has a silky-smooth matte finish. The watch is secured to the wrist with a matching white VELCRO© strap, a direct nod to the gear worn by astronauts, complete with OMEGA X SWATCH branding.
Function & Legacy At its heart, this MoonSwatch is a fully functional quartz chronograph, offering precision timing with the simple press of a pusher. It faithfully incorporates all the key design elements of the iconic Omega Speedmaster, including the famous tachymeter scale with the “dot over 90” detail on the bezel.
More than just a watch, the “Mission to the Moonphase” is a cultural phenomenon—a wearable piece of pop art that makes the story of space travel and legendary watch design accessible to all. It’s the perfect timepiece for collectors, space enthusiasts, and anyone with a love for watches that tell a unique story.
