Swatch, the renowned Swiss watchmaker, is once again making lunar waves with its latest addition to the Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection. Hot on the heels of the successful launch of the Full Moon model, the brand is now unveiling the sleek and stylish New Moon edition. This latest release continues the celebration of space exploration and the iconic partnership between Swatch and Omega.
The Bioceramic MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase – New Moon edition showcases a striking all-black design, capturing the essence of the lunar cycle. Featuring a black moon phase disc adorned with a snoozing Snoopy, NASA’s beloved mascot, this timepiece exudes charm and sophistication.
Available exclusively in selected Swatch stores starting April 8, the New Moon model is set to captivate watch enthusiasts and space aficionados alike. However, eager buyers should note that only one watch per person, per day, can be purchased from Swatch stores, ensuring fairness and accessibility to all.
A delightful surprise awaits those who examine the intricate details of the New Moon watch under UV light. Embedded within the moon phase mask and disc is a hidden quote from a Snoopy comic strip, paying homage to the beloved character and its significance in space exploration history.
The association between Snoopy and space exploration dates back to the Apollo missions, where the iconic character served as a symbol of good luck for astronauts. This connection is further highlighted by the presence of Snoopy on the moon phase disc of the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase – Full Moon edition, already available in select Swatch stores.
Crafted from Swatch’s patented Bioceramic, a blend of ceramic and biosourced materials, both the New Moon and Full Moon models exemplify the innovative spirit of the Omega X Swatch collaboration. Drawing inspiration from Omega’s legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch, these timepieces feature iconic design elements such as the asymmetrical case and tachymeter-scaled bezel.
