The birth of a unique edition: Moonshine Gold
Omega and Swatch collaboration renewed
The MoonSwatch collection symbolizes the union between Omega and Swatch, two watch brands with complementary styles. This new collaboration has given rise to the MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase - Moonshine Gold, a limited edition that celebrates innovation and tradition.
Swatch brings its expertise in bioceramics and silicone or rubber straps, including MoonSwatch Rubber Straps , while Omega enriches the watch with its Speedmaster heritage and legendary precision. Together, we have created a product combining accessible design and fine watchmaking, highlighted by a Moonshine Gold finish, a signature Omega color of profound elegance.
The inspiration behind Moonshine Gold
The inspiration for the MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase - Moonshine Gold comes from the beauty of the moon and cosmic cycles. Also available with MoonSwatch Leather Straps , it offers a more classic and warm alternative to the wrist. This model celebrates September's full moon, the Harvest Moon, by incorporating two vibrant moons coated in Moonshine™ Gold. One represents Snoopy, Omega Swatch's faithful companion, and the other evokes the harvest moon with a corn and popcorn motif.
This playful detail symbolizes the power of imagination, capable of transforming simple ideas into something extraordinary. The dial also includes an Earth phase indicator showing the Earth as seen from the Moon, accompanied by discreet engravings of Snoopy and Woodstock as astronauts, celebrating the pioneering spirit of this watch.
