Snoopy's Space-Aged Glamor: The Lunar Journey of the MoonSwatch Earthphase Moonshine Edition
The Swiss watchmaker Swatch is set to release a new timepiece on August 9, 2025, the Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold watch. This unique piece, inspired by space exploration and the iconic Peanuts characters, offers a blend of technical prowess, design excellence, and collectible value.
The watch boasts a 42 mm navy Bioceramic case, measuring 13.75 mm in thickness and boasting a lug-to-lug distance of 47.30 mm. The case, along with the box-shaped biosourced glass, bears an engraved Swatch "S" logo. Inside, a quartz chronograph movement focuses on seconds, complemented by moon phase and earth phase indicators that operate on a 29.5-day cycle in opposite directions.
The dial is a striking white opaline base, featuring the OMEGA X Swatch, Speedmaster, and MoonSwatch logos. Luminous hour markers and hands, coated with Grade A Super-LumiNova®, ensure readability in low light conditions. The moon phase indicator at 2 o'clock includes a sparkly dark blue disc, adorned with OMEGA's proprietary Moonshine™ Gold. The earth phase indicator at 10 o'clock showcases a detailed Earth with oceans coated in UV ink that glows blue under UV light. A hidden detail in UV ink and playful Snoopy and Woodstock figures looking towards Earth add a unique charm.
The bezel is navy Bioceramic, equipped with a white tachymeter scale. The strap is a navy rubber VELCRO® closure with a Bioceramic loop, enhancing the deep-space aesthetic. The watch boasts a water resistance rating of 3 bar.
The complications, including the earth phase disc and moonphase discs, show impressive finishing work, with realistic shapes, colours, and detailed patterns. The aventurine backgrounds in both complications have consistent sparkle distribution that creates depth without being distracting. The chronograph subdials maintain perfect legibility with a high contrast navy-on-white colour scheme.
The design elements of the watch work together to tell a cohesive story, creating a watch that functions as a technical piece, a design object, and a collectible. The Swatch Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold watch is a limited edition, available only for one day exclusively in select Swatch stores, retailing at $400 USD.
