Design and aesthetic features

The Dial: A Tribute to the Earth

The MoonSwatch “Mission to Earthphase” dial is designed to celebrate our planet, transforming each watch in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection, including the Earth-focused one, into a work of art. These models feature detailed dials, incorporating the iconic elements of Omega’s Speedmaster Moonwatch, and display the OMEGA X Swatch logos, the Speedmaster logo, and the new MoonSwatch logo, visually merging the identities of the collaborating brands.

The chronograph hour, minute and second hands, as well as the hour markers, benefit from Super-LumiNova® treatment, ensuring excellent nighttime visibility. Despite a rearrangement of the subdials due to the Swatch ETA quartz movement, the design retains the soul of the original Speedmaster. The dial is also adorned with an elegant circular pattern on the outer ring and recessed subdials, enriching the overall aesthetic of the watch.

Innovative and sustainable materials

The MoonSwatch “Mission to Earthphase” stands out for its commitment to innovation and sustainability, thanks to its case made of Bioceramic , a bio-sourced material developed by Swatch. This unique composition, mixing ceramic and bioplastic, gives the watch a distinctive aesthetic, while being sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its lightness and robustness ensure comfort and resistance in everyday life.

The watch features a domed bio-sourced glass window, marked with a central “S”, echoing Omega’s “Ω”, adding a touch of stylistic coherence. The smooth, angular lugs and asymmetrical case shape complete the MoonSwatch’s refined and functional design.

Technology and performance

Bioceramic Movement

The MoonSwatch “Mission to Earthphase” is equipped with an ETA quartz movement, specially designed to manage the complications of the phases of the Moon and Earth. This choice of quartz movement guarantees remarkable precision and requires little maintenance, making it perfect for everyday use.

With its frequency of 32.768 Hz, this movement ensures perfect harmony between the phases of the Moon and the Earth, minimizing the need for manual adjustments. The battery, with an estimated life of approximately 38 months, ensures extended autonomy without frequent replacements, reflecting Swatch's commitment to offering accessible yet high-quality watches, without compromising on performance.

Special Features of the “Mission to Earthphase”

The “Mission to Earthphase” stands out for its innovative technical features .

The Earth Phase complication, an innovation in the world of watchmaking, simulates the view of the Earth from the Moon. This complication moves in the opposite direction to the Moon phase, accurately illustrating the relative rotation of these two celestial bodies.

The gear mechanism designed for this complication ensures impeccable synchronization between the phases of the Moon and the Earth, operating autonomously. The oceans on the Earth phase indicator are treated with UV-sensitive ink, which glows blue when exposed to ultraviolet light, creating a spectacular effect that captures the beauty and mystery of our planet. In addition, the Moon phase disc features two moons magnified with Super-LumiNova®, adding a touch of lunar magic to this exceptional timepiece.
