This April, Swatch is taking watch enthusiasts on a cosmic journey with its limited-edition Bioceramic MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase. Available starting April 1 at select Swatch stores, this stunning timepiece pays homage to the enchanting Pink Moon, which this year graces the sky as a micromoon.
What’s a micromoon? It’s when the moon reaches its furthest point in its orbit, making it appear smaller and less luminous than usual. This contrasts sharply with last year's breathtaking Super Blue Moon, which dazzled stargazers with its proximity to Earth. However, the Mission to the Pink Moonphase is set to outshine expectations, even against this celestial backdrop.
The watch is not just a feast for the eyes; it’s packed with functionality. Featuring a chronograph function and a fascinating moon phase indicator situated at the 2 o’clock subdial, the eye-catching black and silver-pink opaline dial boasts two glowing pink moons that light up in the dark, thanks to their Super-LumiNova® coating. But wait, there's more! A hidden detail awaits discovery—exposing the watch to UV light reveals magical elements that enhance its cosmic charm.
The design is completed with a black Bioceramic bezel that includes a pulsometer scale, a fun and practical tool that allows wearers to monitor their heart rate during activities. Simply start the chronograph as you feel your pulse, stop it after 30 beats, and use the pulsometer scale to easily compute your beats per minute. Adding a whimsical touch, the 2 o’clock push button features a small, embossed heart that nods to this pulsometer function, making it a true tribute to both heart and the heavenly bodies.
The Cosmic Collaboration: Where Heritage Meets Innovation
This exciting release is part of the broader Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, which emerged from a groundbreaking partnership between OMEGA and Swatch, ignited in 2022. This alliance has redefined the watchmaking landscape by reimagining the iconic OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch, the world’s first timepiece to land on the Moon. This visionary collaboration fuses tradition with modernity, creating a chronograph series that has captivated watch aficionados globally.
Each piece in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection channels the timeless design of the Speedmaster, complete with the signature asymmetric case, ‘dot over ninety’ on the tachymeter scale, and the classic Speedmaster subdials. The watches proudly display both the OMEGA X Swatch branding and the renowned Speedmaster emblem, alongside the newly introduced MoonSwatch insignia. A subtle yet ingenious touch appears in the form of the 'S' discretely etched into the center of the domed biosourced glass, further enhancing its uniqueness.
Adding sophistication to the already striking design, the dial features an elegant circular pattern on its outer ring and recessed subdials that elevate the aesthetic appeal. With every detail illuminated by Super-LumiNova®, from the hour and minute hands to the chronograph seconds hand, this watch ensures you’ll always shine your brightest—whether on Earth or under the celestial skies.
Don’t miss your opportunity to own a piece of this cosmic collection! Gear up for a watch that blends heart-pounding functionality with a mesmerizing homage to the universe—it’s truly a stellar addition to any collection!
