Omega × Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase

Following the success of the initial 11 MoonSwatch models in 2022 and the subsequent MoonSwatch Moonshine Gold editions in 2023, Swatch presents the MoonSwatch Snoopy edition. This latest iteration, dubbed the Mission to the Moonphase, marks the two-year anniversary of the MoonSwatch’s debut and is set to launch on March 26th, 2024.

Embracing an all-white color scheme reminiscent of the full moon, this non-limited edition will be exclusively available in stores, eschewing online sales.

The Significance of Snoopy 2885A_4

This edition pays homage to the Omega Speedmaster Professional Silver Snoopy Award editions. Snoopy, NASA’s longstanding “watchdog” since 1968, earned its place in history when the Lunar Module of Apollo 10 was named after the beloved beagle. The Speedmaster’s pivotal role in the safe return of the Apollo 13 astronauts led to NASA bestowing Omega with the prestigious Silver Snoopy Award, recognizing its exceptional contribution.

Featuring a Moonphase Function

One of the standout features of the MoonSwatch Snoopy chronograph is its moonphase indicator located at 2 o’clock. This sub-dial showcases Snoopy resting on the Moon, symbolizing a full lunar cycle lasting approximately 29.5 days.

The Design

The white MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase (reference SO33W700) sports a white Velcro strap. Its black hands provide optimal contrast against the white dial, with the central hands boasting Super-LumiNova application for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions. The bioceramic bezel, complete with the dot over 90, pays homage to Omega’s Speedmaster.

Dimensions and Pricing

Swatch’s MoonSwatch Snoopy – Mission to the Moonphase mirrors the dimensions of its stainless steel counterpart from Omega, measuring 42mm in diameter, 13.75mm in thickness, and 47.3mm from lug to lug. Priced at €315 / US$310, this watch will be exclusively available in Swatch boutiques, limited to one replica watch per customer.

Looking Ahead

The MoonSwatch series has captivated enthusiasts with its innovative designs and playful tributes. While the MoonSwatch Moonshine Gold editions may have pushed the boundaries of imagination, they garnered significant attention and demand. The introduction of the white MoonSwatch Snoopy marks an exciting new chapter in this lunar journey. Despite the absence of online availability, which some may find frustrating, it adds to the allure of the collection, encouraging enthusiasts to embark on a physical quest to acquire these coveted watches.
