If you love watches that do more than just tell time, like those with cool stories and unique design, the MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase from Swatch might just be your new favourite. Launches exclusively on August 9 (today!), right on the night of the full moon, making it a perfect blend of style and cosmic connection. Where my astro girls at?
What’s special about this one? It features Swatch’s innovative “earth phase” complication, which shows how Earth looks from the Moon’s perspective. It’s a neat flip on the classic moon phase watches. The earth phase actually moves backward, so when there’s a full moon, you see a new earth, and when there’s a new moon, you get a full earth. It’s a little cosmic dance that makes you stop and appreciate the view from way out there.
Adding to the charm, Snoopy and his buddy Woodstock are chilling on the Moon right under the earth phase window, gazing at our planet. Plus, there’s a secret phrase hidden in UV ink that only shows up under blacklight, a fun nod to the original Moonwatch and a reminder to keep dreaming big.
Made from Swatch’s Bioceramic, a cool mix of ceramic and plant-based materials, this watch sports a deep navy blue case inspired by the vastness of space. It also features classic Speedmaster Moonwatch design details like an asymmetrical case and recessed subdials, paired with a navy VELCRO® rubber strap that adds a casual astronaut vibe.
The Mission to Earthphase drops on August 9 at select Swatch stores worldwide, and because it’s a limited release, only one watch per person. So, if you want a timepiece that’s playful, innovative, and a little out of this world, this one’s for you.
