When Omega’s legendary Speedmaster heritage joined forces with Swatch’s bold and playful design approach, the MoonSwatch was born — a collaboration that captured global attention and redefined how enthusiasts connect with iconic timepieces. This time, the collaboration aims higher (and farther) with the Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold, a model that combines cosmic inspiration, playful details, and a launch date written in the stars.

A Date Written in the Sky

Collectors will remember August 9, 2025 as the day the Sturgeon Moon lit up the night sky — and the day the Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold made its brief and exclusive debut. By aligning the launch with the August full moon, Swatch and Omega blended astronomy with horology, transforming the release into a one-day event that’s now part of MoonSwatch history.

Two Worlds on Your Wrist

Encased in a 42mm deep navy Bioceramic body, the Earthphase maintains the MoonSwatch’s signature lightweight feel while introducing new layers of sophistication. Its dial is distinguished by two captivating complications:

  • Golden Moons at 2 o’clock – twin full moons in Omega’s Moonshine™ Gold, with one featuring a net-like texture as a nod to the Sturgeon Moon.
  • Earth from Afar at 10 o’clock – a rotating window that shows how Earth would look from the Moon, subtly mirroring lunar phases.

These features make it more than a playful collab — it’s a miniature planetarium for your wrist.

From NASA Badges to Hidden Messages

The dial pays homage to Omega’s Silver Snoopy Award, given by NASA for its role in space exploration. Snoopy and Woodstock make a cameo here, adding a lighthearted touch to the technical dial. Look closer under UV light, and you’ll find the secret phrase “I beat everybody” — an inside joke for owners and a clever nod to MoonSwatch’s cheeky spirit.

Built for Orbit and Office

A new rubber strap gives this edition all-day wearability. With a Bioceramic loop and Velcro closure, it’s easy to adjust on the go, whether you’re wearing it over a space suit (or just a winter coat). The hands have been subtly refined for better legibility without losing the signature MoonSwatch style.

One Day, One Chance

The Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold made its fleeting appearance on August 9, 2025, available solely through select Swatch boutiques around the world. There were no online releases, no advance reservations, and no restocks — just a single day to secure it. Priced at around USD 380, it came in slightly higher than standard MoonSwatches, but the enhanced complications and touches of Moonshine™ Gold more than warranted the premium.

Why Collectors Will Chase It

This release captures why MoonSwatch became a cultural hit: it’s approachable yet deeply connected to Omega’s heritage. The Earthphase turns a fun collab into a story-driven collectible, with its lunar-timed debut making it part of a moment in history.

It’s a watch you’ll remember not just for how it looks — but for when and why it landed.
