Snoopy and Woodstock Are Spotted on the Mission to the Moonphase MoonSwatch
First of its kind to combine a moonphase display with its chronograph complication.
If you think the craze for the MoonSwatch has died down, think again. With the new Mission to the Moonphase MoonSwatch, OMEGA and Swatch are back with a fresh iteration of their much-hyped collaborative model. But this time around, the watch features something a little different as Snoopy also makes an appearance on the dial.
Dressed in all-white, the Mission to the Moonphase timepiece features a matte, tonal look with all embellishments coming in a contrasting black hue. Snoopy, the widely-loved beagle character, alongside his buddy, Woodstock can be spotted in the moon phase indicator on the upper right sub-register. A “secret” message inscribed with lume is implemented onto the moon phase mask, which can only be revealed in low-light environments.
Another noteworthy highlight of this new timepiece is its functionality. While all MoonSwatches are modeled after OMEGA’s emblematic Speedmaster, all former iterations have featured only a chronograph complication. The Mission to the Moonphase, as its name indicates, is a reference equipped with a moonphase display, making it the first of its kind to integrate a moonphase function into a chronograph.
Echoing its comic-like aesthetic, the moon imprint on the caseback is reimagined using the same style, while “MISSION TO THE MOON” lettering encircles around it. Set to retail for $310 USD, the new MoonSwatch is complete with a matching velcro strap and will be available to shop via select Swatch stores from March 26.
