A Celestial Celebration: Swatch's New Release

Swatch has once again captured the imagination of watch enthusiasts with its latest model in the celebrated Moon phase series – MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD. This striking piece pays homage to the Hunter's Moon, appearing in a limited edition that showcases a unique human hand motif as part of the moon phase display.

Set to be available from October 7 to October 21, 2025, during the Hunter's Moon, MOONSHINE GOLD will be sold at select Swatch stores globally. This release follows the traditions of the previous models, maintaining the layout but enhancing it with innovative features like the new Earth Phase display and the luxurious OMEGA Moonshine™ Gold.

Visually, this new timepiece mirrors its predecessors while integrating the latest technological advancements Swatch has to offer. The combination of exquisite design elements highlights the craftsmanship that Swatch is known for. Its limited availability is set to spark excitement among collectors and fans alike.

The MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD model, priced at a retail price of ¥57,200 (including tax), is made from Swatch's proprietary Bioceramic, a fusion of ceramic and bio-derived materials sourced from castor oil. This innovative material not only contributes to the watch's aesthetic but also ensures durability and comfort around the wrist, thanks to its silky matte finish in a distinctive dark navy blue.

Notably, this model incorporates iconic design elements from the legendary OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch, such as the asymmetric case and the famous tachymetric scale. The OMEGA X Swatch logo proudly adorns the dial and crown, while the mission statement is etched on the case back, adding a layer of depth and context to the timepiece.

Further enhancing the allure of MOONSHINE GOLD are its astronaut-inspired elements: a battery cover designed with an Earth-inspired motif and a stylish navy VELCRO® rubber strap that complements the cosmic theme. Each customer will be limited to purchasing one piece per store, per day, ensuring that this exquisite timepiece remains coveted.
